How to transfer Lightroom library to new profile

I have an enterprise CC account and I'm trying to transfer my Lightroom CC library to a personal account. I see there's a lightroom downloader app, but it just seems to download files and not any albums or flags. Is there a way to transfer the photos and include albums, flags and ratings?

You could try the shared album and contribute route, which hopefully should work, you could try this....

 

  • Create Album on Personal account.
  • Enable Sharing for that Album.
  • Invite email ID associated to your Enterprise account (if that's possible?)
  • Ensure you give the Enterprise account Can Contribute rights in the Link Settings.
  • Accept email invite associated with Enterprise account and sign in to Enterprise account
  • Add Photos to the Album that’s shared with you from the Personal account.

 

This will transfer photos over including edits without having to export the photos.

 

You could transfer all photos to that one Album and sort them from there. However it maybe easier to mirror your Albums in the new account and share each one (although you will have to accept an email for each album).


Maybe do a test first.

Hey, @Jason30642730xnt5. Welcome to the Lightroom Community. I'll help you get started with this.

 

There isn't an account-level option that you can use for this task. You'll have to use Lightroom download, and as you've experienced, there are a few limitations. You will need to export Lightroom Edit presets manually from the Presets tab by right-clicking and choosing 'Export presets.'

If you want to make any changes to your account, you'll need access and permission from the subscription Admin.

 
Thanks!
