Importing from Photoshop Elements to Lightroom Classic and to Lightroom CC

[andyf10494422]

I use Adobe Elements with 53,000 pictures and I use Albums (Windows 10). Is there anyway to import these pictures into Lightroom CC and maintain the Albums (albums are supported in Lightroom CC.

As an alternative, can I import the pictures and albums into Lightroom Classic - THEN move them into Lightroom CC?

Hi there,

Are you referring to importing Photoshop Elements Album structure to Lightroom Classic and then sync it further to Lightroom desktop?

I would recommend that you checkout this article to know how to migrate the Photoshop Elements catalog to Lightroom Classic: https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom-classic/help/import-photos-various-sources.html

Regarding syncing the Lightroom Classic catalog to Lightroom desktop, see https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom-classic/help/lightroom-mobile-desktop-features.html

Thanks,

Akash

Akash, thanks very much - helpful. 

I tried doing that - but my Elements catalog is corrupt and I can't and it won't let me reindex or fix it. Do you have any suggestions or perhaps a 3rd party app to fix the catalog before I import?
