Import Keywords From LR3 to LR4.

May 12, 2012 9:20 AM

Tags: #upgrade #keywords #lr3 #lightroom3.6 #lr4 #lightroom4

I have just upgraded from LR3 to LR4.  My LR3 keywords are not showing up in LR4.  Found Import Keywords dialog but cannot find the folder/file with the LR3 keywords in it.  Is there a folder/file name I can search for to locate LR3 keywords?

 

Thanks.

    Importing files is not how this is done.

     

    You want to open PSE4, then select File->Open and point to your LR3 catalog. This will upgrade the PSE3 catalog to PSE4, and all your photos will have all their keywords and other metadata.

    "PSE4" - should be "LR4"
