The Adobe TV Tutorial says to import existing images into LR4 using the "Pictures" folder, but iPhoto does not use this location. Import options from iPhoto are "greyed-out". How is this accomplished without moving iPhoto pictures to a Document file? Wouldn't that be difficult, take forever, and come over outside current iPhoto "Events" and other folder organization? Do you have to move previously organized iPhoto images separately, which sounds like a real pain? Does this indicate that LR4 doesn't have full functionality for Mac? I know having used iPhoto sounds silly, but I've been able to get away with it when starting with good shots out of the camera. Further, as a long-time photographer of many different subjects, I have 4,700 pictures in iPhoto, including 2,400 from several trips to Paris. This number does NOT represent a problem with failing to delete poor images: I run Continuous/Burst on candid people shots, wildlife and sports which yields a few to a number of good and different images per outing. As with many, I also let clients choose from a large number, in addition to keeping the ones I consider the best. I also keep a large number to provide retailers a good selection of what they want to carry. What do I do to transfer from iPhoto to LR, and how difficult and time-consuming would if be?
