# Photo Libraries

## Preload photo libraries

Preloading photo libraries is required to take full benefit of photo library integration:

- Access to original metadata upon importing from iPhoto or Aperture

- Ability to tag masters/originals managed by iPhoto or Aperture

- Access to Lightroom preview images for export

Publishing operations (Google Earth, Flickr and locr) use images as modified by Aperture, iPhoto or Lightroom. When writing EXIF/XMP, you will be offered the option to write to the Aperture master / iPhoto original. Thus geotags will be carried along as you create new versions of the image.

## Load iPhoto library

iPhoto library access is required to tag originals and allow iPhoto to see metadata added by HoudahGeo.

## Load Aperture library

Aperture library access is required to tag masters and allow Aperture to see metadata added by HoudahGeo.
For HoudahGeo to access the Aperture library, iLife/iWork integration needs to be enabled in Aperture.

## Load Lightroom library

Lightroom library access is required for HoudahGeo to use Lightroom preview images during export.
