Hi - this my 1st post... I hope it makes sense..!
I have been using LR (Classic) for the past few years on my iMac but now I wish to be able to use my iPad, iPhone and MacBook whilst I am away from from home (quite a lot for work) so that I can sort, edit and share photos. After considerable time reading articles and forums I have convinced myself to take the plunge and switch to the CC version - the Photography plan with 1TB of storage space (£19.97 pm). This should also save me a lot of time trying to make back ups from my iMac to Dropbox and external hard drives....
First though I need to add my wife’s collection of photos that are mostly stored in (Apple) Photos and some in my Dropbox account and I think it would be best to add these to my existing LR Classic catalog. Does that make sense?
So can anyone offer me an easy to follow guide / workflow of how to make this switch? I am concerned that I might end up with thousands of duplicated photos as I already have Lightroom CC apps running on my iPhone and iPad that have about a third of my existing library in there.
I am hoping to prepare my catalog and make the switch over the next few weekends before I upgrade my iMac and then the new iMac can just be loaded with LR CC.
In anticipation of any responses, I thank you for your time and any suggestions .
