Easy transfer to Apple Photos
Photo migration towards Apple Photos made Fast, Accurate and Secure with Avalanche
Avalanche for Apple Photos lets you transfer photo catalogs to Apple Photos ...
You can now turn your existing photo catalogs from Aperture, Lightroom, Luminar 4/AI into Apple Photos catalogs ready to be opened and edited.
Like all versions of Avalanche, Avalanche for Apple Photos allows you to transfer photo catalogs from one application to another while preserving your modifications and settings made in the original editing software.
It also preserves the organization of your catalog, through the migration of albums and Keywords.
Avalanche for Apple Photos features the same ease-of-use and migration quality that Avalanche is now renowned for, but it features some specific features for Apple Photos users.
...while preserving your edits made in the original editing software
Preserve your organization, versions, masters, annotations and much more…
Avalanche has indeed been designed from the beginning to preserve as much as possible of all the organization of your catalogs.
Should we really ask ourselves why Apple Photos have a better integration to Apple Ecosystem than lightroom or Capture One ? or should we rather switch from one software to the other to take advantage of the advantages of each, now you can, simply, quickly and while preserving all your photo editing.
Avalanche for Apple Photos will, as you’d expect, create an image for all versions of a given master it encounters during the migration.
It will convert collections/albums, projects, collection sets and preserve the hierarchy of your original catalog.
Metadata management is also at the heart of Avalanche. All Exif metadata will correctly flow from your source catalog to Capture One.
Faces are not yet supported in our conversion process.
Avalanche also smartly migrates the GPS information present in your source catalog.

The power of Machine Learning
First Avalanche uses geometric information to accurately transfer your crops, rotations, flips and more.
Avalanche makes extensive use of Machine Learning to find the values of image adjustments that best replicate the look and feel of each image in the original catalog. Ajustments such as white balance, exposure and light, color and tint, highlights and shadows all treated using AI.
