Hi everyone. I'm after some direction on the best way to do the above for a friend who is a subscriber, who is just shooting Canon RAWs. He's only shot about 60 images to date, & has ended up on the LR App program whereas (after discussion !) it seems that the latest version of LR Classic would be more suitable for his workflow. He is using a Macbook Air with 4gb RAM and 62gb of free space on the HDD. His RAWs are on an external HDD.
Many thanks in advance. Ian.
 
Usually we'd say to install Classic, enable sync and it should sync down the cloud contents. That would work, but for 60 photos, it might be just as simple to export from Cloudy as Original + Settings (to retain any editing he's done) and then import into a clean Classic catalog.

4GB of RAM might be a bit on the low side though, I think the minimum is 8 now.
