Many Mac users have decided to switch from Aperture or iPhoto to Lightroom. Adobe has just released a new tool to help easily migrate existing Aperture and iPhoto libraries into Lightroom with a free Lightroom plug-in.

What Doesn’t Comes Over
Requirements
- The new plug-in requires Lightroom 5.6 or later, and can be downloaded here: http://adobe.com/go/aperturetolrplugin.
- It will be available in English only until the release of Lightroom 5.7. Then the tool will ship within Lightroom and be available in all languages that Lightroom supports.
