[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 378133, member: 9240"] FYI, Adobe has a tool that will migrate your Aperture library to Lightroom 5.6... [url=http://photofocus.com/2014/10/16/moving-from-aperture-to-lightroom-get-this-free-migration-tool/]Moving From Aperture to Lightroom? Get This Free Migration Tool | Photofocus[/url] ...and will be available within Lightroom itself in 5.7. The only thing it cannot do is bring in your adjustments (because it's a different engine), but it will instead bring in an "adjusted copy" of the original so you have both the original file and an edited copy. I was on the side of those who didn't like the $10/month pricing, but I've since changed my tune dramatically. And with that said, if you subscribe to the Creative Cloud and then cancel your subscription you still retain your copy of Lightroom with 100% functionality from a catalog management perspective (i.e. you can import, tag, rate, manage metadata and invoke external editors). So for $10, if you're looking for something to manage your photos before you send them off to DxO then it's a pretty good buy, particularly given that it'll convert your existing Aperture catalog for you.
