    Clarification of syncing processes and counts

    Hi-- I use LRC for my primary storage of photos. I have LR mobile downloading everything to LRC via date folders. As far as I can tell, this is happening successfully (except see below). LRmobile says that I'm all synced. For awhile (weeks), LRC has said that there are 47 images that are...

    Have I ruined my ability to sync?

    I posted a couple of weeks ago asking how to manage the dropbox/apple change of setup. I really made a mess of things by first moving everything to iCloud which did not work since it tis way too slow to upload files and doesn't give enough ongoing info so I could be sure my files had all...

    Full quality photo sync

    Hi all - fairly new to Lightroom but getting to grips with it. I sync my collections (photos all RAW) from my Macbook, but it bothers me that when I open on the iPad (where I like to edit) the quality is seriously degraded, especially when you pixel peep. Am I just not clicking the right box...

    Very strange sync issue in LrC. Pics disappearing from collections.

    I noticed recently that a few collections in my catalogue were empty. It seemed very random. I located the pics that were supposed to be in those collections in theri folders. When I tried to re-add them back to their collections, they would add. but then immediately disappear a few seconds...

    Are syncc issues in LR web keeping LRc from syncing with LR

    My LRc shows that it's trying to sync 18,212 photos, but it's been stuck there for weeks. Nothing is showing up under sync activity and I have tried to rebuild sync data twice. LR says it is syncing 112 photos, again for weeks. When I select view, nothing shows up. On LR web it shows over...

    Deleting from 'All Synced Photographs' does not delete from disk

    I have my cloud syncing to LrC but when I delete a photo from the synced photographs in LrC, it only removes it from the cloud and leaves it on disk. As a result, I have a lot of photos on disk that are no longer in the catalogue. How do I delete them from disk when removing them from the cloud...

    What exactly syncs between LRC and LR

    I'm sure there is a post somewhere about this, but I can't find it. I'd love a summary of what does and does not sync between LRC and LR. I use LRC as my "base" but do a lot of "on the fly" stuff from LR on my phone, for example. So far, I have (and correct me if there are mistakes): -...

    long, seemingly random file names after sync

    I'm returning to Lr and LrC after a long hiatus. I dabbled with Lr mobile (now just called Lr) years ago. I recently downloaded all of my images in the cloud to LrC. In doing so, LrC assigned long, seemingly random names to some of the downloaded photos (e.g...

    Endless "Sync pending" and "Syncing items"

    My LR for MacOS has been stuck in "Sync pending" (the tooltip that pops up if I hover over the cloud icon with blue circle in the upper right; it disappears when I try to screenshot it) for days. Nothing seems to be missing as far as synced photos, there are no Sync errors in either LR, LrC or...

    Cloud : sync RAW files and edits from Macbook (Lr Classic) to iMac (Lr Classic) ?

    Hello, I travel with my Macbook running Lr Classic on which I store and edit my pictures while I'm away from home. Is it possible to sync my RAW files and edits on the cloud from my laptop so that when I get back home it's all automatically available on my iMac ? Not only the smart previews ...

    Synchronize Folder-Why Run the Other Way?

    In the latest email about some dude that lost a bunch of images it is stated to run the other way if someone suggests "synchronize folders." I can't find any info on the LRQ site explaining why. I use it all the time, I'm just very careful to note any missing files and go find them before I...

    Just returned from holiday and images are not syncing to LrC

    I've images taken with the Lr camera on my iPhone and images loaded into a Lr Collection from a card reader onto my iPad. Both sets of images have synced with each other and of course, as you would expect, I can see the images in Lr on the cloud. However, quite usually LrC says everything has...

    If photos and catalogues are moved within Lightroom Classic, is synchronisation automatic.

    Thanks to Victoria and Paul awhile back, I got my Lightroom Classic, Lightroom CC on laptop, Web Lightroom, Mobile Lightroom on ipads and mobiles to synchronise after everything went pear shaped and synchronising had stalled completely after panic attacks on my old 2012 Macbook pro. It took...

    Traveling drive for originals

    I use Lightroom (the Cloud version not Classic). I want to change the drive that LR saves the originals to from the static drive attached to my Mac to a traveling WD 5TB drive. I don’t want to take the existing originals with me, but merely save the new originals of photos which I take whilst...

    Synching metadata between LrC and Lr (and vice versa)

    I'm currently in the midst of a fairly massive project to digitize all of my family's slides and negatives going all the way back to 1940--perhaps 10,000 images in all. My work flow is to import the new hi-res scans into Lr, then let them sync down to LrC where I can use the date plugin to...

    LrC and LR synching woes

    Great original content, great forum, thank you, Victoria. I feel I have wasted too much time trying to find answers on my own or going to the semi-official Adobe support forum. I see that there is an LrC and an LR subforums. There should be one for "Trying to live in LrC and LR at once and...

    How do I delete synced Cloud data on one machine, without removing from LR Cloud?

    My Mac's disk is nearly full because I set up Lightroom Classic to sync the originals from Lightroom Cloud storage, and since then, hundreds of gigabytes of RAW images have been synced to Lightroom Cloud from an iPad. Lightroom Classic on a different machine (PC) is the single source of truth...

    Revisiting using LrC and Lightroom together

    I posted several questions back in Oct/Nov about how to use LrC and Lightroom together. The history is that I was a LrC user for many years, but a couple years ago I started using Lightroom. I did not migrate my LrC catalog to Lr, so I've had two separate catalogs since then. I would like to...

    Is it now possible to store Lightroom images on a local drive?

    I was just reviewing this page of Adobe's website, in preparation for migrating my LrC catalog to Lightroom. I came across this passage in the "Local Storage Preferences" section: Is this new? I was under the impression that there was no way to store full-resolution copies of images imported...

    I am trying to find documentation about "Delete All Synced Data" in Lightroom Classic on Mac, to understand its behaviour, and any options it may have. I have searched for it in Feb 2022 edition of "Adobe Lightroom Classic Missing FAQ" and the Adobe online docs, and cannot find any write-up of...
