Adobe has posted a guide on 'Making the Switch from Aperture to Adobe Photoshop Lightroom' ahead of an upcoming migration tool.

The company is focused on capturing former Aperture users after Apple announced that it would be discontinuing the software in favor of the new Photos app in OS X Yosemite.

At Adobe, we’re working on a migration tool to help you bring your photos into Adobe Photoshop Lightroom from Aperture, but if you’re eager to switch before the tool is ready, this guide can help ease your transition. We recognize that this migration may be a challenging process and offer the following resources and methodology to help get you up to speed with Lightroom and provide a road map for successfully migrating your photos.

If your interested on the making the switch, more resources can be found at the link below. The PDF guide can be found here.

Even if I would have to quit Apple altogether for this move (IF they fail to fully support all the picture recovery work I have done in zillions of hours of film scanning and restoring) even then I would never move to Adobe's rent a software thing. Just as much NOT as I don't move to MS' 360 garbage.

My thoughts exactly! I mean why rent?! Are they high?!!!

As much I don't like Adobe's cloud approach to Photoshop, I believe that Lightroom is a standalone installation... meaning you buy and pay for it once. At least that's how it is for me on Lightroom 5.
