I have a love-hate relationship with LR (the cloud-based version).
My normal import workflow is the following: on my iMac, I import my RAW files in LR where I select the good and discard the bad ones. I like doing it this way as I often use my tablet to do that work. I will use LrC to edit and apply presets as it is better suited to do so. Once that is done, I move my files into the LrC's library and remove the files from the LR Cloud.
That's fine ... but ...
When I do the same on my Windows laptop, the RAW files are on my laptop or in the cloud but NOT on my iMac where I want to be so that I can move them but my LrC library.
On my iMac in LR, I do see my files, but the RAW files are in the cloud, not local.
I know there exists a LR Cloud downloader, but that's clunky, to say the least.
Should I re-import my RAW files on my iMac in LR? If I do so, will I lose the edits I have done on my Windows laptop while on the road?
Is there a way to actually sync the RAW files locally?
TIA
