Export Photos from Photos to Lightroom

I have a smaller MacBook Air in which I store photos on the road. Can I store the pictures in photos and then export them to Lightroom on my big computer?

iMac, macOS Sierra (10.12.2), iMac 27, 8MB RAM, iPhone 5S

Hey pete.purvis,

I understand that you would like to store your road pictures on your MacBook Air then export them to Lightroom on your big computer. I would first export the pictures from the photos app to a folder on a flash drive connected to your MacBook Air.

Photos User Guide: Share your photos & video - Export photos, videos, and slideshows

After exporting the desired pictures to the flash drive, insert the drive to your big computer then use the information in the link below to import them to your Lightroom app on your big computer.

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities to post your question. This should have you exporting and importing those pictures in no time.

Have a Happy Holidays.
