I wrote up and tested the procedures described below.
It has many powerful features, including several features Lightroom does not have. However, along with many others, I have become dissatisfied with ThumbsPlus and decided to move all my photos to Lightroom. I have used ThumbsPlus (available at ) for many years and have been very happy with it.
I am using ThumbsPlus Pro version 7.0 and Lightroom 3.3 on a Windows platform, so the procedures below refer to those versions. However, see the CAUTION below on RAW files: I found that certain procedures in Thumbs destroyed the RAW files, so I excluded RAW files when I transferred information from Thumbs to Lightroom. It is possible that these procedures also may work with RAW files if you have a ThumbsPlus RAW plug-in and it works properly. (See the note on File Types below.) It also means the process will not work with off-line files. This means the process will not work with files that do not allow metadata. This process transfers information from Thumbs to Lightroom by transferring the information from Thumbs into the metadata of the files, and then from the metadata back out into the Lightroom catalog. Thanks in advance for your help!įor simplicity, I refer to ThumbsPlus as Thumbs in what follows. If I receive suggestions that might be helpful to others, I will add them to this document. Email to me directly at Please use the words “ThumbsPlus” or “Lightroom” in the subject line of your email so I will see it. Please let me know if you have any comments, corrections, or a better way to transfer information from ThumbsPlus to Lightroom. The document is a bit repetitive because I wanted to be sure you wouldn’t miss any important cautions if you jump around. Many of the steps are for special circumstances and normally can be skipped. I wanted to put in detailed step-by-step instructions, plus several notes and cautions, so this got longer than I had intended. I apologize in advance for the length of this document. It describes how to move keywords, annotations (captions), and information about galleries (collections). This document contains instructions for how to move a large database of photo information from ThumbsPlus to Lightroom.
