What ho! I’ve just started trialling LR CC on my iPhone, iPad and on my Windows 10 laptop alongside classic LR v5.
The idea is to use my Leica when I’m cycling in France later this year - previously I’ve used my Fuji X20 - import from the SD card into LR on the iPhone, edit, post from LR directly to my Wordpress site. So far, so good. That process works quite nicely. This mobile version of LR is very impressive, easy to use, quick and quite comprehensive. Most of the editing controls that I’m likely to use are quite obvious and simple. The big change that strikes me is the way profiles work, or maybe it’s just the labelling. In v5 and earlier my normal process, for colour, has been to use the medium contrast curve, sharpen for landscape or faces as appropriate, and add Punch. That’s it usually- it’s rare that I do much else. If anyone here is using CC, do you know which settings are the equivalent of those above? For B&W I just flip through the B&W profiles and choose whichever looks best for the shot. Nothing fancy. There is an option in CC to migrate your catalogue to the cloud. This seems to be the only way to use an existing catalogue. I don’t mind doing that, in principle, but before I do I want to be sure I’m not going to get myself swamped in bullshit. Anybody done this yet and wants to share some war stories? I’m assuming that I won’t be able to use the cloud catalogue from LR v5. Is there a way to keep the local copy that’s on my laptop automatically synchronised with the cloud copy, in the way that MS OneDrive syncs? Anything else I should know before I subscribe and stop using LR v5?
