I shoot with an iPhone 15 Pro Max (native camera app), I have LR (v 9.2.0) set up to "auto add" all new photos to LR.
I thought that everything was working as it should until I realized that there is an inconsistency in what version of the photo that LR uploads. Under normal circumstances LR uploads the original file in the original format. If however I have edited the photo in Apple Photos then LR will only upload the edit, not the original.
So... if I do something simple in Apple Photos (like check to see if the photo looks better with Portrait Mode on or off, or better as monochrome) then only a copy of the file will be uploaded to LR not the original.
I consider LR cloud to be my primary photo storage. I ALWAYS want the original file transferred to LR. I understand why many people would prefer that the edited copy be uploaded, and I'm fine if both the original and edit are uploaded but I always want the original saved in Adobe CC for every picture I take.
It is evident in LR that this is a copy and not the original because the file name will be different and the file size changes slightly.
Examples:
Normal un-edited file:
Original file: File uploaded to LR:
IMG_5360.HEIC vs. IMG_5360.HEIC (exactly the same)
File that was edited in Photos before upload:
Original file: File uploaded to LR:
IMG_5364.HEIC vs. IMG_5364_jpg.heic (much different)
I have searched for a way to change this behavior to no avail. Am I missing something or is this just the default for Auto Add that can't be changed?
To be clear, all I want to do is assure that LR CC stores every original unedited photo I take from my iPhone.
Thanks in advance for helping.
