Will my keywords be migrated overt?

To answer my own questions, I just did the migration.

1- The keywords DID come over.

2- The photo that I see in LR CC is the edited version from Apple Photos.

Hi Justin.

About your second point "The photo that I see in LR CC is the edited version from Apple Photos". Really? Did you get the cropping, rotating, light adjustments etc successfully migrated over from Apple Photos to LR CC? How did you perform the migration? Using the built-in "Migrate from Apple Photo Library" function (i.e. via the menu under 'File')? I did the migration  using that function and unfortunately only got the originals migrated, not the edited version... Hence I am interested in your confirmation, before retrying the migration process. Thanks

Remark: I am talking about JPG files, not RAW. I know RAW edits are not carried over.
