However since my Aperture days I have always imported my photos into Aperture,now Photos and then assigned those I liked to a 'Folder' named not numbered.I find it harder to identify things that occurred years ago simply by date, which is what' moments' does. Photos does list all photos in date order, I assume you are thinking of 'moments', and I have that. I was referring to your earlier comment that I could 'export folder by folder'. These will show as folders to Lightroom, containing all the photos from that year within Photos.app. Navigate to the location where you put all the alias's. Do this for every folder you want to import photos from.I recommend that you drag this alias folder to your desktop (or some other location), because this alias was created within the hidden Photos repository.A folder with an arrow will be created just below the "2014" folder. Right-click a folder, say "2014", choose 'Make Alias'.OSX won't let us do this to the "Masters" folder, so you need to do this for every folder in "Masters". We need these folders to be exposed.here is how: If you open these folders, you will see the images. You will notice that "Masters" has no images within it, but instead, it contains only folders, by year.

What you need to do is trick Mac OSX into showing the repository contents as a folder. However, "Masters" isn't a folder, and Lightroom can not access it. So, "Masters" is where your photos are stored. (because Photos is non-destructive, edits are stored outside of the image, just like Lightroom). This folder contains all the unedited versions of your Photos in the Photos app. This will open up the repository into a folder view, showing lots of files, and a folder called "Masters". Right click on it and choose 'Show Package Contents'.On your Mac, go to your Pictures folder, and look for something called Photos Library.Photos.app copies all the photos it manages into a separate repository, called "Photos Library". However, it is possible to import from the Photos repository, just not that simple. I don't know of any import plugin for Lightroom to Photos app. How do you import the new OS X Photos app to Adobe Lightroom? This info quoted uses the "Make Alias" method of making master images available to Lightroom. Some more info that may be helpful for getting images out of Mac Photos.
