Anyone who knows if I can migrate a huge old light room library. I closed my subscription about 3 years ago and my library has just been sitting there since. All my eddits should be saved in sidecar files but there is probably other stuff saved in the library that could be useful. I tried darktables back then, but I kinda dropped photography as a hobby so never looked much into it. I want to pick it up again some time soon tho
Been a while but last I checked it's unlikely you can, editing software isn't really an open system, and while they might use the same sidecar file that doesn't mean you can get the same edit from one in the other. Best option is exporting as high res TIF files and calling it a day.
