Each update I get closer and closer to using the cloud. I love the interface and the general feel of things and I do not mind round tripping to Ps for some of my editing needs. It is however the Ps round trip that concerns me. Currently I have to use it for tasks that are available within Classic, colour range and luminosity masking are examples. That in itself is fine but the result is another image comes back to Lr and is stored in the cloud. So, by simply undertaking some colour range masking I double the amount of storage use cloud-side for that image - I have the Lr variant and the Ps one. That seems a recipe for needing a lot of not cheap cloud space. I am not missing anything am I?
It just seems that the cloud might never be an option for those with large catalogues and some sort of workflow will need to be required so as to have only have the last 12 months or so in the cloud. Trouble is what do we do with the "ex cloud" stuff - put it in Classic as it won't be available to re-edit or browse in the cloud.
