Hi Bill

Two questions: Do you mean on Lr6 or on Classic? And what's the question?

Paul- I goofed as I have LR Classic 9.2. My question is how do I import images from Media Pro into LRC9 retaining the Media Pro annotations. Thanks for asking.

In Media Pro, save the metadata back to the files. Sorry, I've forgotten the menu command and it may vary with different versions of MP but try Action > Sync Annotations using the Export option.

Then import the files into Classic Lightroom. In Import, use the Add option.

Test this process with a few files. You'll lose stuff in custom fields, and catalog sets but the latter can be rebuilt with collections and the more-powerful smart collections.

Thanks John for the suggestion. When I get a chance to set up some test files and try your idea I’ll get back to you with Yea or nay.

Thanks you for the assistance Roelof. I know enough German so I didn’t have to uses Google too much. If I understand your method it is basically what I have done following John Beardy’s advice shown above. I still have some kinks to straighten out but the basic method of "exporting annotations” from Media Pro to LR classic is working largely.
