iPhoto to Lightroom???

[garyyoss]

Hello Everyone,
Having just purchased my first Apple computer, MacBook Pro 15" i7 I have a question regarding workflow.
I've imported my RAW files into iPhoto, what's nice is that I'm able to view previews of the pictures compared to "My Pictures" on a Windows computer where I had to use either Photo Mechanic or Lightroom to view the pictures.
I'm unable to import the files from iPhoto using the Library Module in Lightroom though I'm able to drag the files into Lightroom. What I just noticed is that these are jpeg. files.
After speaking with Apple they advised me to create a "my pictures" folder and bypass iPhoto if I'm going to use Lightroom.
I appreciate all of your help.
Thanks,
Gary

Anything that goes into iPhoto will be turned into a jpeg ... not a good idea.

Best to use LR If you need iPhoto to move images into your phone or pad just export form LR into a folder .. export as large jpeg, then import into iPhoto. That is about all I use iPhoto for .. just moving a bunch into the iTablet now !!
