Export your Adobe Lightroom Catalog to Apple Photos

Export your Adobe Lightroom Catalog to Apple Photos

Why?

Because Adobe reneged on their word to keep a perpetual licensing model for Lightroom. I will not support that.

Details

This is a crapily written piece of software. It's in one file, a bunch of commented out code, and next to no documentation! Perhaps you will find some good tidbits here in there to help you understand Lightroom and Photos internals.
