    Newbie- trying to adapt myself to Lightroom Classic [desktop app, not cloud]

    I have used Apple's Aperture since it first came out and am now trying to transition to using Lightroom Classic. I've read the ebook and been trying to understand and move forward but am having a bit of trouble adjusting. First, I gather that there is no list view, unlike Aperture. That...

    Laptop and Desktop Options with Lightroom Classic

    As I see it, there are two basic options if I want to use Lightroom Classic with both a desktop and a laptop: I would have a master catalog on the desktop where all of my images reside, and a secondary (or "temporary") catalog on the laptop for use when I am away from the desktop. If I import...

    RAW files imported in Classic, edited in mobile not synching back to Classic?

    Hello Lightroom Hive, I have a fairly developed, if painful, workflow that involves mostly Lightroom Classic and the mobile app on iPad Pro. I import JPEGs and RAW into Classic, add them to a synched collection, they eventually show up in the iPad where I cull and process them mainly for speed...

    LR Cloud Setup

    I've been reading tons of information and "I think" i have my head wrapped around this somewhat, but please correct me if I am wrong. I have a MacBook pro with LR Classic, iPhone and iPad Pro with LR. I plan to use a card reader with my iPad pro and put my images into the system that way. I...

    Topaz deNoise in LR workflow

    There's already a thread for this but it seems to be discussing the Topaz noise reduction software used as a plug-in rather than as a stand-alone product. Am I right, though, in thinking that use of the Topaz products as plug-ins to LR means that any original RAW file must be exported as a...

    Need advice for professional workflow using LR-Classic with LR-CC for iOS+iPad

    I'm a professional photographer using LR-Classic. I need the flexibility of the desktop based solution rather than LR-CC as I can customize for my specific needs (ability to rename files on import, storage on fast local RAID, advanced developing and printing, etc.). However I would love to be...

    Workflow from iOS: Capturing Apple keywords

    Hi folks, I am working my way through a back catalog of 150k (very amateur) photos taken over the last 20 years or so. I have a workflow and a system in place by which I star-rate them (1=delete, 2=archive, 3=keep, 4=share, 5=showcase) in offline LRC (on PC). This works great for photos taken...

    Work flow with a retoucher?

    I've started working with a retoucher to edit a moderate volume of photos every day. So far I've been uploading the photos to Dropbox. She downloads them, retouches in Lighroom, and uploads them back to Dropbox. The process is slow (since I'm sending GBs of RAW files) and if I need to make...

    Workflow feasibility - struggling to get the big picture

    hi everyone, As a long-timer Lightroom 6 user, I am trying to get a sense of whether i can satisfy all my needs with/within the Adobe software for photographers. The Adobe online help articles didn't... help me do so. They are topic-specific and i feel, fail to explain the big picture well. I...

    One catalog for everything (from mobiles images to SLR etc).

    I know this is going to stir a pot with people and you're always going to get people doing things massively differently. I think this is a question where the pros might have to take a back seat on. This is more a hobbyist approach than pro. So basically in a time where cloud sync is a reality...

    Does Classic Know Which Photos Were Previously Imported From LR CC?

    Let's say you are traveling and take 25 photos (just for example, there will be more of course). And you 'import" 10 of them onto your iPad or MacBook Pro via Lightroom CC at the hotel. They sync to the cloud, then download to Lightroom Classic (home based). Now, you get home and want to...

    Classic vs CC

    I've been using Lightroom (now Classic) for many years now. I have not yet used Lightroom CC and I am trying to figure out if moving to CC is something I should do, or if I should just stick with Classic for now. I would be happy to read posts or pages from Victoria's books if anyone can point...

    On the go workflow

    I wanted to give LRCC a try on a project I'm working on, and I'd love to hear some feedback from people who've used both CC and Classic CC. I typically work on a single device, a Surface Book 2, and I initially transfer my RAW files to an external drive (via LR Classic import) and build both 1:1...

Getting the photos from our dedicated cameras (DSLR/mirrorless) into Lightroom is pretty straight forward - I've got that process down.... But what I am struggling to figure out, is a...

    Cull multiple images from several imports into a single location?

    I want to organize many images in my catalog taken over the course of many years in to one location in Lightroom. I am looking for suggestion on the correct workflow: to first select all the images across multiple imports; second, edit all images after I have chosen them from my catalog.

    Workflow - mostly Classic with a little CC

    I would like to work 90% on Classic (home computer) and occasional imports on CC on my laptop when traveling. Is there any hybrid workflow that makes sense of this all? I did some this past week and now in my Mac Mini (LR Classic) I have new date-based folders, which is okay, but they are not...

    Questions on the "Editing Workflow" in Victoria's Lightroom FAQ book

    I just discovered the Editing Workflow flowchart. Adobe PDF reader says it's page 322 of the book. (If you don't have Victoria's book, by all means do get it, unless you are one of the real gurus in this forum.) This flowchart is the most detailed editing workflow I've found, and it seems...
