Transfer edited photos from one profile to another

Report · Oct 10, 2025

Hi!

I have about 40 GB of photos with edits on Lightroom CC. I need to move the photos from one profile to another (both profiles are under the same account / same email address).

How do I transfer photos from one profile to another without losing the edit settings between Lightroom CC profiles?

I've tried Lightroom Downloader which doesn't preserve the edit settings but only saves the edits into the JPG files. I've tried creating a shared album - but you can't share an album with your own account. Am I missing a trick?

For context: My employer is changing how their Adobe profiles are managed, meaning I will lose all my content from my old profile unless I somehow migrate it onto the new profile (which is under the same account).

Hi @otto-Oskar365676477psq, welcome to the Lightroom Community Forum! First off, are you on an enterprise account? For more information on transferring files across accounts or profiles, please visit: https://adobe.ly/3W9Z4vy.

If your account is part of an enterprise setup (e.g., Adobe ID → Federated/Enterprise ID), Adobe may offer an automated migration tool that preserves your content and edits. Your IT admin can help reinitiate this if needed. Here is more information on that: https://adobe.ly/4qgtU3s.

Let me know if you have any other questions! ^CH
