Importing Elements 14 catalog into Lightroom CC 6 does not work on Mac.
Erro reported is 'unknonw error'
Elements and Lightroom installed on same Macbook with SSD HD
If I cannot convert my Elements Catalgo, I would loose alle the 'stacked' photos work, and all the tags, this would be a nightmare.
It means for me I have to stay on Elements

Aw, thanks JJ. Let's hope we can get this import working for you then! If not, writing the metadata to XMP would be a backup plan.
If you open your Elements Catalog, are all of the photos available for editing (none missing)? How many photos in there?

any new ideas on what I could do ? rgds JJ
Hi there,
Yes all Photos visible there are around 11k, all tagged, non missing.
I tried to remove the videos because I read the codecs could have an influence.
I moved the catalog on the same HD than Lightroom to avoid any issue with Networked catalog (also the pictures are on a network disk)
I upgraded vom windows to Elements Mac before trying the import.
The catalog is showing up in the import dialog, I get the correct 'progress bars' until the end when I get the message 'lightroom could not import because of an unknown erros'
I tried to create a new catalog in Elements, and to import it, it worked fine ...
I have already copie all metadata onto the files itself, but if I import them 'as is' I will get multiple versions of the pictures, as Elements makes a copy of the original file and saves the edited one as 'edited'

Hi Sandeep
tx was able to download it.
I can open it as a catalog, but I cannot import it into an existign catalog, I get an error when doing this, like when I was importing the elements catalog
It also looks like all Metadata is lost in Lightroom
Any hint ?

Not all Metadata, looks like Caption is still there, but Keywords are lost
