Christine, Bob, I will try to clarify. I slightly misspoke, and also we are talking about different programs. Too many versions with almost the same name. Old = LR5.x or LR6.x Newer = LR Classic CC [or LR Classic Cheers, Christine when customized for a particular user?] Newest = LR Creative Cloud aka LR CC
My chronology may be a bit off, LR Classic CC may well have come along after LR CC, but Old, Newer, Newest equates to degree of integration to the Cloud. As I understand it. In the Old LR6.x, if I installed the Mobile App on my iPad, I had the behavior I described above. I.e., I could review/edit/synch material on my iPad. But only images which had been selectively sent to the Cloud from my desktop by indicating/selecting a collection to be synched. In the Newer LR Classic CC which you and I are using Christine, yes you can selectively synch new images from your iPad to the Cloud as well as work with images which you have selectively synched from your desktop to the Cloud. Because of connectivity issues while traveling, I have not used this set of features. In the Newest LR CC which I believe you are contemplating, Bob, I do believe that all of your images live in the Cloud. Whether you take a shot with your phone or import to your iPad or download from a card to your desktop, if you import to LR from any device anywhere, it will go to the Cloud within your catalogue there. I believe you can back up your images and your catalogue on your local internal and/or external drives, but the assumption seems to be that you are working within the Cloud. When traveling without connectivity, I assume that the images on your device are just accumulated in a buffer of sorts and squirted to the Cloud once you are back in the civilized world of high speed connections. I.e., yes I believe you are right Bob. One additional note: it is my impression that the newest version, i.e. LR CC, does not yet have all of the editing tools available in LR Classic CC. I have no idea what is “missing” and haven’t paid attention as I have no interest in a total-Cloud solution. And speaking of tools, as a total aside, one of the very handy new tools within LR Classic CC, Dehaze, has now been relocated within the tool panels, it is now nestled in-between the Clarity and Vibrance sliders in the Presence panel. stan > On May 20, 2018, at 8:31 PM, Christine Aguila <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi Stan: > Today I did some testing on the syncing issue you speak to at the end of your > post.
