Leaving Apple Aperture for Adobe Lightroom, is there any way to avoid losing my photo adjustments?
We all know that Apple Aperture is almost dead. We don't know how Photos will be a replacement solution.In between, I would like to start working with the Adobe solution and I would like to work on my current projects (started in Aperture) in Lightroom.There is a lot of resources about [the metadata migration](http://Lightroomsolutions.com/articles/migrating-from-aperture-to-Lightroom-where-do-i-begin/) and even [this great article](http://aperturevsLightroom.com/aperture-to-Lightroom-migration-guide/) which goes in details.My issue regarding the photo adjustments. Is there any way to export the Apple Aperture's photo adjustments I made in something similar to an XMP file? This way we can imagine develop a converter/script who can migrate the common settings between this two applications.As far as I know, in Apple Aperture the photo adjustments are saved in a catalogue and you cannot export it alone. Is there anybody who had already make the moves to Lightroom from Apple Aperture? Is the converter/script idea realistic ?Yesterday (16.10.14), Adobe publish an importer [tool](https://creative.adobe.com/addons/products/3213). It does not import the settings and it is available only for Creative Cloud users so it is not the solution.On the 19 november 14, Adobe release [LR 5.7](http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5852) and it have a built-in importer for Aperture. It's the same tools as they provided as a plug-in on the 16 october 2014. The photo adjustement are not imported.
I believe awhile back Adobe made a catalog migrate button, for Lightroom to migrate your Aperture library to the platform. I image it only works for Lightroom Classic, but you might want to check Adobe.com to see if they still have the free plugin.
