The Exif data is still viable and available once the files are imported to Lightroom, but the file data is as exported. With that number of files I don't feel inclined to modify the data, I have tried in the past with a variety of software inc Lightroom but with scant success, It seem to have done it but it tends to revert when you turn your back!

This is one small sample of the exported files from iPhoto.

Don't get me wrong, iPhoto is a handy tool if you don't need access to the actual files but if you do it's a nightmare.

My friend has a large iPhoto library and when he upgraded to the latest 27" iMac recently I had to export all the images. It took over a day just for the image files and that was between to modern iMacs. I exported them onto an external Firewire drive then re-imported them to the new machine. They refused to tfr directly.
