Drag the batch of photos into Photos, and wait for it to import.Īfter you do that like 20-30 times, you just need to wait days and days for all the photos to upload.

Export the files (this took quite a while for each batch).

Choose a folder on an intermediary disk (I had a 500 GB SSD plugged in via USB 3 for this purpose-fast and not on my main drive to preserve space during the upload process).

Choose to export all IPTC metadata/keywords (this way Face data is preserved, with one keyword per face in the picture) with the pictures 1.

Select all the photos in the folder, and choose "File > Export > Original.".

some TIFFs and PSDs threw errors, and it was easier to not have it be 'file 28,029 of 59,294' or something like that).

Create folders to stick albums of 3,000-5,000 photos inside (I liked doing small batches instead of one giant export in case of issues.

Here was the process I followed (for each Aperture library): I was expecting more from Apple, especially since Adobe built a rudimentary plugin for migrating from Aperture to Lightroom. There's no automated "click here to import an Aperture library" button in Photos. There's no way around it-this process is painful.

Used Mac mini as dedicated backup computer.

Ensuring the upload doesn't slow down your home Internet connection.

Since this is a somewhat longer post, here's a handy table of contents: As long as Apple doesn't screw up the library or have frequent downtime, I'm okay with the $9.99/month for this service. I had to bump my iCloud plan to a 1TB plan, since my entire consolidated photo library (with 40,000+ 20-40 MB RAW files, JPEGs, and short video clips) is a hair shy of 600 GB. I abandoned my loupe, my tens of thousands of star ratings and labeled 'face' data, and started the process of moving all my photos from six separate Aperture libraries into one Photos library, synced to my iCloud Photo Library.

Photos has 90% of the features I regularly used in Aperture.Photos (somewhat) seamlessly syncs all my RAW photos between Macs and iOS devices.Photos offers iCloud Photo Library, which allows me to store all my photos in the cloud, and have 'light' copies of my library on my Macs and iOS devices where space is a concern.Aperture compatibility with Sierra and future macOS versions is getting worse and worse (since it's not maintained anymore).

I have a license for Creative Cloud, so I kicked Lightroom's tires, but found it to be clumsy and bloated (like many of the other CC apps nowadays.), and worst of all-even slower than Photos for my batch sorting and editing workflow!Īfter doing some tests with Lightroom and Photos, I chose to finally ditch Aperture and switch to Photos because: Some pros decided to go all-in to Adobe Lightroom. Even things like switching quickly between editing and browsing photos are annoying, since there's a mandatory animation that takes an extra 1/3 second every time I flip between photos! Things like the loupe tool and star ratings are missing entirely, and adjustment sets and workspace layouts are present but weak. Photos, more the successor to iPhotos, is a consumer-oriented tool, with a decent toolset, but very little workflow customization and limited photo adjustments and inspection tools.

It was fast, it had tons of great organizational features, and was highly adaptable. Aperture was by far my favorite tool for both organizing and manipulating RAW photos taken with my DSLRs. There are many, many photographers who were disappointed Apple decided to discontinue Aperture development. but it's not the end of the world moving to Photos. All-in-all, I wish Apple didn't ditch Aperture. Tl dr: ~600 GB photo library, took ~3 weeks to migrate, some things are awesome (access to all my photos everywhere, on any device), some things less so (faces don't get synced, no loupe, no five-star rating system, no pro-level editing/batch workflows).
