leaving Lightroom and starting with PSE 2018

[gerardv52412312]

Hello,

I had to buy a new computer - old one Win 7 - 32 bits and new one Win10 - 64 bits.

On the 32 bits I had LR5. Now I want to leave LR.

Can I import the catalogue into PSE 2018? And how to do it?

Thanks.

Gerard

LR can convert PSE catalogs, not the other way round.

The best you can do is to use LR to 'write metadata to tags' so that your tags, captions and ratings are saved in xmp sidecar files or in the metadata header of jpegs. You'll have to import all your library into an Elements catalog.
