Press G for Grid view if not there already. This view displays all of the photos synced between Lightroom Classic and Lightroom CC. Step Four: Expand the Catalog panel and click on All Synced Photographs (sorted by Capture Time with most recent on top). I need to visually confirm they are all in their respective folders before doing anything else because photos that are removed from Lightroom CC before they download to Classic are gone forever. This means that all of those newly captured or imported photos from Lightroom CC have fully downloaded to my computer and appear in the folder(s) I’ve designated for Lightroom CC files (Preferences > Lightroom Sync), and Lightroom Classic’s activity monitor no longer displays any messages about syncing files(you can also check Preferences > Lightroom Sync to see that no sync activity is happening). Step Three: Open Lightroom Classic and let the sync process complete. This gives me a convenient place to find, view, and edit those photos until I have a chance to clean up my storage space. Step Two: All photos captured or imported into Lightroom CC are only brought into that collection/album at first. This becomes important later on for finding just those newly added photos. Step One: I have designated a single collection/album in Lightroom CC on my phone that functions as my Camera Roll. The way to manage this is to remove the full resolution photos from being synced with Lightroom CC, which will remove them from the cloud and thereby free up storage space for more photos to pass through this workflow. Left unchecked I would rapidly hit my storage limit of 100GB. All of the full resolution photos uploaded to the cloud this way count against my Creative Cloud storage. Occasionally I also import photos from my DSLR into Lightroom CC using the camera connection kit while traveling, and those follow the same path as the photos captured in the camera module. Those photos are eventually uploaded at full resolution to the cloud, and when I open my Classic catalog they are downloaded at full resolution to my laptop where they join all my other photos in permanent storage. So a typical workflow for me is to capture photos in the (very awesome) camera module within Lightroom CC on my phone while out and about. Because smart previews are used, photos synced from Lightroom Classic to Lightroom CC do NOT count against your Creative Cloud storage ( check out my follow up post). This is the beauty of the Lightroom CC ecosystem which means all your photos are stored in the cloud and accessible from any device.Īny photo that is synced to Lightroom CC from a Lightroom Classic catalog is only uploaded to the cloud as a smart preview (basically a compressed DNG version of the original resized to 2560 pixels on the long side). BackgroundĪny photo that is captured with or imported into any of the Lightroom CC apps (Mac, Win, iOS, or Android) are uploaded at full resolution to the cloud. Note, If you have the Lightroom CC only plan or you’ve paid for additional storage for the purpose of having originals stored in the cloud, then this post doesn’t really apply to you. The answer isn’t as clear cut as I think it could be, so bear with me as we dive into this. I often get questions from Classic users who are trying to figure out how to manage the 20GB of storage space that comes with the Creative Cloud Photography plan (or 100GB if you have the full Creative Cloud subscription). That said, since Lightroom Mobile was rebranded as Lightroom CC and what we knew as just “Lightroom” became Lightroom Classic things got a wee bit confusing (ok, very confusing). I’ve been using these two apps this way since Lightroom Mobile (now called Lightroom CC for mobile) first came out and it works great as a vehicle for transferring photos captured with the mobile device to your computer, and as a way to make photos in your Classic catalog available for viewing/editing/sharing on your mobile device. If you are like me, you are using the Lightroom CC app on your mobile device(s) in partnership with your Lightroom Classic catalog.
