I must be missing something crucial: why would anyone want to migrate to Adobe Lightroom when the result is to give up all their editing work?
I've been using LR 1-6 forever, and have grown my catalog to 21k with extensive Develop edits. In investing in a shiny new M3 machine I imagined capitulating to the $9.99/mo subscription, but didn't imagine it would eviscerate my work, as it appears to. I've migrated 'successfully' from LR6.14 running on my 2013 Intel iMac to the new hardware and subscription platform only to realize I should have paid greater attention to the product disclosure that develop history does not migrate, and now I'm really puzzled as to how this can actually even be a product - starting over is a non-starter. Or is it a teaser meant to push me to 'upgrade' further to the $19.99/m Photography subscription?
What am I missing? I'm still in Trial so no major $$ loss in bailing out, but I understand I cannot run LR6 (apparently 32-bit) on my M3 even with the help of Rosetta, so I'm not really seeing another path forward yet.
Thanks.
