Occasionally I also import photos from my DSLR into Lightroom CC using the camera connection kit while traveling, and those follow the same path as the photos captured in the camera module. Those photos are eventually uploaded at full resolution to the cloud, and when I open my Classic catalog they are downloaded at full resolution to my laptop where they join all my other photos in permanent storage.
So a typical workflow for me is to capture photos in the (very awesome) camera module within Lightroom CC on my phone while out and about. Because smart previews are used, photos synced from Lightroom Classic to Lightroom CC do NOT count against your Creative Cloud storage ( check out my follow up post). This is the beauty of the Lightroom CC ecosystem which means all your photos are stored in the cloud and accessible from any device.Īny photo that is synced to Lightroom CC from a Lightroom Classic catalog is only uploaded to the cloud as a smart preview (basically a compressed DNG version of the original resized to 2560 pixels on the long side). BackgroundĪny photo that is captured with or imported into any of the Lightroom CC apps (Mac, Win, iOS, or Android) are uploaded at full resolution to the cloud.
Note, If you have the Lightroom CC only plan or you’ve paid for additional storage for the purpose of having originals stored in the cloud, then this post doesn’t really apply to you. The answer isn’t as clear cut as I think it could be, so bear with me as we dive into this. I often get questions from Classic users who are trying to figure out how to manage the 20GB of storage space that comes with the Creative Cloud Photography plan (or 100GB if you have the full Creative Cloud subscription). That said, since Lightroom Mobile was rebranded as Lightroom CC and what we knew as just “Lightroom” became Lightroom Classic things got a wee bit confusing (ok, very confusing).
I’ve been using these two apps this way since Lightroom Mobile (now called Lightroom CC for mobile) first came out and it works great as a vehicle for transferring photos captured with the mobile device to your computer, and as a way to make photos in your Classic catalog available for viewing/editing/sharing on your mobile device. If you are like me, you are using the Lightroom CC app on your mobile device(s) in partnership with your Lightroom Classic catalog.
