Aperty with Adobe Lightroom Classic
To transfer an image from Adobe Lightroom Classic to Aperty for editing, follow these steps:
Open Adobe Lightroom Classic.
In the Library or Develop module, select the image you’d like to edit in Aperty.
Send your image to Aperty using one of the following methods
Review all tree options:
Right-click Option
Right-click the image > Export > Aperty
Choose Open Source Files to send the original file, or Edit a Copy with Lightroom Adjustments to include any edits made in Lightroom.
After finishing adjustments in Aperty, your edited photo will appear in Catalog > All Photographs in Lightroom.
File Menu
File > Export with Preset > Aperty Edit a Copy with Lightroom Adjustments — Sends a high-quality file based on your Lightroom edits.
File > Export with Preset > Aperty Open Source Files — Sends the original image, without Lightroom edits.
File > Plug-in Extras > Transfer to Aperty — Ideal for sending a raw file, as it transfers the original with maximum data.
Photo Menu
Photo > Edit In > Aperty — A new dialog will open.
Edit a Copy with Lightroom Adjustments — Sends a high-quality file including your Lightroom edits. Choose file options at the bottom of the dialog.
Edit a Copy — Sends a high-quality version of the original image (not for raw files).
Edit Original — Edits the original file on your drive, without Lightroom adjustments (not for raw files).
Choose any additional Copy File Options and click Edit.
Editing in the Aperty Plug-in
After transferring the file, Aperty is ready for editing.
If needed, click the Aperty icon in your Dock (macOS) or Taskbar (Windows) to switch to it.
Apply any desired edits in Aperty.
When finished, click Apply to return the adjusted image to Lightroom Classic.
Aperty’s performance with legacy Lightroom versions, such as 6.14, is not guaranteed.
