The reason Lightroom CC for Mac/Windows is useful for this specific exercise (not that it isn’t useful in other ways) is because it has a way to filter based on sync status that I can’t find in any other Lightroom app. Ideally, installing Lightroom CC on a second computer that is not used for Classic will help you avoid problems, and you can kind of treat it the same way you treat Lightroom CC on mobile. My point is to treat them as separate apps that have similarities as opposed to the same app with different looking interfaces. Every photo imported into Lightroom CC is uploaded to the cloud, while everything imported into Lightroom Classic is stored locally. Remember, Lightroom Classic’s “truth” is in its own catalog file stored locally, while Lightroom CC’s “truth” is stored in the cloud. Before diving into the particulars I do want to mention a few caveats, which are that as a Classic user you want to be cautious about using both Lightroom Classic and the desktop Lightroom CC on the same machine. I do think there could be an easier way, or at least the same way should be available in all Lightroom apps, but the only way I have found is through the Lightroom CC for Mac/Win app, hence the title of this post. It is somewhat inspired by a question from Simon on that post where he asked, “Is there an easy way in CC to identify which pictures are already smart previews and which are originals?” The short answer is yes, and no. This is a follow up to last week’s post on managing Adobe cloud storage for Classic users.
