Lightroom CC 2.2: Migration from Apple Aperture

Hi all!

I installed the demo of Lightroom CC 2.2 on my Mac an hour ago.

Unfortunately there is no menu-item regarding "plug-ins" or "import form aperture" or something like that

Can one tell me how to migrate my Apple Aperture Library to Lightroom CC 2.2?

Thx,

Marcus

Classic is the product that has always been known as Lightroom. It did have the CC ending until a year ago, and it continues to be developed. It integrates with Adobe's cloud, but you control your files on your own hard drives.

LRCC is a 1 year old application for Mac/PC that is cloud-dependent and stores originals in the cloud. You can work offline, but it is all about the cloud. It has the adjustment features, and a few organisational tools, but is generally lightweight. It's more like the iOS app running on a desktop computer.

You've installed the wrong Lightroom. You need Lightroom Classic, not the cloud-dependent "Lightroom CC".

Ah, I see!

Can you please describe the difference of LR CC and LR classic in one or two sentences?

I thought, Classic is the same, but an old version? It‘s name was „LR CC“ earlier but was renamed in „LR Classic“, so I thougt it also is cloud-based, but an old version which is not developed any more?

Thx again!
