![]() I can also open raw files into Photshop on my laptop to edit there. The third way I will use Lightroom CC syncing will be to transfer raw files taken during the trip onto my laptop and import them into Lightroom CC for review, deleting and perhaps some initial Lightroom adjustments. With all the originals downloaded to my laptop, I will be able to edit them in Lightroom CC and open them in Photoshop for the class. When the originals completed uploading to the cloud I opened Lightroom CC on my Laptop, right clicked on the synced album and selected “Store Album Locally” to download the original files to my Laptop.Because the smart previews of those raw files were already synced to Lightroom CC, it simply replaces the smart previews with the originals in Lightroom CC AND it then syncs the ORIGINAL FILES to the cloud (yes…only smart previews sync to the cloud from Classic but full resolution files will sync to the cloud from CC).Next I opened Lightroom CC on my main computer and used the + button to add all those original raw files to Lightroom CC.Then I exported the original files of all the images in that collection into a folder on the desktop of my main computer using the Export function in Lightroom Classic.I started by making a collection of my class images in Lightroom Classic and then clicking the sync icon.Since I decided to use original raw files, getting the originals transferred to Lightroom CC took a couple more steps. If I just used smart previews for the class it would be a simple matter of making a collection of the images in Lightroom Classic and then syncing it to Lightroom CC as I show in the video and outline above. Second, on my laptop, I need to have original raw files of the images I will use during the classroom portion of the workshop. I was able to do a keyword search in Lightroom CC for National Park images, put together a submission, create a web album page of the images and send the link to the publisher. In fact, I did get a request for an image submission from a calendar company. I can also access them on my laptop if I need to submit any to a client, insert in a blog or place on my website. Having them on my phone is great for sharing with people I meet and for teaching purposes on location. During the trip, I will be able to access these images on my phone. Use #1įirst, I already have 6500 of my best images synced as smart previews to Lightroom CC, which I show in the video above. At the bottom, there is a second video in which I explain what I did. I’m using the Lightroom CC syncing capability to do a few different tasks while traveling that would have previously been much more complicated. Putting It Into Practice On A TripĪs I write this I’m traveling in Europe to lead a photography workshop in the Dolomites with fellow Photo Cascadian, Erin Babnik. Smart previews are 2560 pixels on the long side, which is big enough for any web usage and even good enough for prints up to 10 or 15 inches. You have full raw file editing capabilities over these smart previews in Lightroom CC and any edits you make will be synced to the cloud and back to your Lightroom Classic catalog. Smart previews are downsized images that don’t take up much space. If you want to remove a collection of images from L ightroom CC, just uncheck the sync icon in Lightroom ClassicĪs I show in the above video, DNG smart previews of your images are uploaded to the cloud when you sync this way. Any collection you click the sync icon for will sync to the cloud and you will be able to access those photos in Lightroom CC from any computer, phone or tablet. Open Lightroom CC and verify that the collections you selected to sync are showing up in Albums.The images in those collections will begin syncing to the cloud. Go to your Lightroom Classic collections and click the small Sync icon to the left of any collection you want to have access to in Lightroom CC.In Lightroom Classic on your main computer, click on the Lightroom badge in the upper left corner the screen and then click start where it says “Sync with Lightroom CC”.Go to the App Store from your phone, iPad or any other device you want to access your images from and install the Lightroom CC app.Use the Adobe CC app to also install Lightroom CC on any other computers or laptops you want to access your images from.Go to your Adobe Creative Cloud desktop app and install Lightroom CC on your main computer (the one you have your Lightroom Classic catalog on). ![]() Watching the video is the best way to see how to do it, but here are the written steps:
