As you can see from my previous posts, I've been up and down and back and forth on this for the past year. But I think I've finally landed on a clear plan, and now I just need a little help to get there.
For the past few years, I've edited on both a MacBook (Air or Pro) and an iMac Pro, as well as an iPad Pro. I initially used LrC on my iMac Pro and Lr on my MacBook and iPad Pro. At some point, I switched to using Lr as my primary application on all devices—in part because I was confused about the best way to use both LrC and Lr across different devices.
Fast forward to today. I am now using a single computer (an M1 Max MacBook Pro), which is connected to an external monitor and other peripherals. The power/speed of the portable M1 Macs is just as good as the desktops now, so I didn't see a reason to continue using both.
Now that I will only be using a single computer, I'd like to go back to using LrC as my primary editing application, and then just use Lr on my iPad Pro and iPhone. But I'm not sure how to get everything consolidated. I have about two year's worth of photos that are in Lr but not in LrC (because I wasn't syncing them). Then I have many years of photos that are in LrC, but not in Lr—with the exception of a single collection that I synced between LrC and Lr.
What's the best way to get everything into LrC?
Thanks.
