Operating System: Mac High Sierra v.10.31.1
Exact Lightroom Version (Help menu > System Info):LR Classic v.7.0.1
I just watched a video given by a professional wedding photographer who said, "When you import photos to Lightroom Classic, they show up in Lightroom CC". Also, it was suggested to have LR Classic on your desktop and LR CC on your laptop.
I use LR Classic and had LR Mobile on my tablet and phone. The pictures I have access to are only the synced collections that were always available in LR Mobile, and, in fact, LR Mobile changed to LR CC with no effort on my part for both the tablet and phone.
I know there is a way to "Add" pictures to LR CC; but, this is not the way I understand it is supposed to work; unless I have misunderstood or haven't set it up correctly.
I have my catalog and pictures on an external drive and the old way was to disconnect the drive from the desktop and connect it to the Laptop. It seems to me that that is what I will need to continue in order to see my new import, plus, I don't want all my pictures in the cloud.
1) So, after loading LR CC on the laptop and not seeing the new import, should I load LR Classic and continue as I always have?
2) Will it recognize the catalog that has already been optimized for LR Classic on my desktop?
3) Can I keep the majority of the catalog off the cloud and continue paying $9.99/month (with limited cloud storage for my synced collections), or will I be forced to upgrade to the 1TB plan for $14.99/month one year from now?
