I've been using LR since the very first version and shooting with an iPhone seriously for 7 years. I'm looking for a new workflow and can use some advice.
My workflow has been to import images (shooting RAW now for 4 years) via a USB connection via the import dialogue and use a preset to rename the files on import. I then delete images off my phone (I have other backup options and don't need the redundancy). From there after editing if I want to post to Instagram I export out a screen res version to a folder in iCloud where I keep all my best work to share. However since I can't post from iCloud to IG I have to then save an image to my Photos on my phone and share from there. This has worked fine for me for years and it is a process I am comfortable with.
Now since yesterday I have a new issue: I purchased a wireless charger for my iPhone. Charging is wonderfully easy but now I don't have the iPhone showing up in the import window in LR since LR doesn't see the iPhone. So I'm wondering about wireless import options that will give me control over what folders the images end up in and renaming options. Bluetooth? Wifi?
Yesterday I played around with allowing LR Mobile to import my Photos on my phone and then sync back down to my LR Classic desktop. It's not terrible but I have to find the files in possibly differently dated folders and then rename them. Also any photo I export out to iCloud and then save to Photos to put on IG ends up syncing back to my Mac! Yikes.
Hoping someone here can suggest a simple way of doing what I've been doing for years but wirelessly and without the resultant redundancy. FYI: I live in a rural area and my internet speeds are very slow which would effect the speed of transferring a lot of photos which happens frequently.
Thank you!
