Lightroom/PM compatibility
« on: October 24, 2016, 08:58:25 AM »
Hi guys,

I'm new to PM and just wondering if there is a way to transfer my selections/tags from a Lightroom catalogue into PM? Basically, I'm part way through culling a large catalogue in LR (using colour tags) but I'd like to carry on the culling in PM to speed the process up!

Is there a way to do this?

Many thanks!

PM ver.5 / OSX 10.11.6

As long as you have Lr set to update the metadata in the files and not just its database and you have configured PM to use the same color labels as Lr, then you should be able to browse the folder containing the images and continue your cull in PM.

We have a number of video tutorials here that may help you: http://www.camerabits.com/support/tutorials/
