Howdy all and Happy New Year
Since 2006 I have been reading this forum. Over the last few years there continues a constant buzz about the qualities of Adobe and Apple's DMA's -- Lightoom and Aperture. I use both, but am now ready to move forward with Lightroom.
I made my decision based on the many discussions in this forum since 2009, and I find there is a consensus that use of either is mostly a personal preference. It is interesting that I have observed that there are far more of us saying "I need/want to move to LR", than those saying "I need/want to move to Aperture". BUT - my question is all about implementation and no longer why or whether or not I should, and I do not have good information on which to make the move from AP3.x to LR4.3....
What is a preferable workflow for moving my legacy images (managed) in Aperture Libs as well as Vaults to Lightroom. I have about 10,000 images taking up approximately 1.5 Tb of space. I manage the image library mostly by date, but do also have a few (<100 topic folders) and I will maintain the same basic organizational approach.
I have looked in this forum as well as other sites and my question is not that widely discussed and the information from the vendors is just plain poor. So -- If you have any particular ideas and experiences I know I and I think others would find it valuable.
If there are threads on this topic - then please point me in those directions.
To the moderators: Perhaps this questions deserves a sticky??
Thanks
