Hi all, I've absorbed all the information I can on how LR CC and LR Classic interrelate, but still have a conundrum about the 20Gb limit.
I'm soon going on a 3 week trip to the Middle East during which I'll take a lot more than 20Gb of RAW images - let's assume 40Gb. Ideally I want to use my iPad Pro (which has 256Gb storage) as a backup, and also to do some preliminary sorting, rating and adjusting of my photos in LR CC app whilst I'm away.
So my starting point is to plan to import the photos into the iPad Pro each evening, using the Lightning to SD card reader, and then let them auto-import into LR CC on the iPad Pro. I'm expecting to turn off cloud sync during the trip, as I don't want to swamp any hotel wifi capacity or other bandwidth limits. Then, when I get home, I would switch on Sync and let all the photos download into LR Classic on my desktop, which is my preferred desktop program - I don't use the desktop LR CC. Then I could get them off the iPad Pro easily enough.
My fear is that the above workflow will bust my 20Gb limit along the way. This would though only be a temporary situation, as I don't intend to keep much in the cloud at all once they've gone across to LR Classic. Is that correct?
The only way out I can see is to only import a selection of the best photos into LR CC on the iPad Pro whilst I am away, and leave the rest in the iPad Pro camera roll as a backup, then at home importing them straight to Classic from the original card. But that eradicates a lot of the sorting/organising benefits from the mobile workflow.
Is there a better solution to this? Is there a way of syncing the photos from the iPad Pro in chunks, to keep within the 20Gb limit?
Thanks in advance for any help.
