Would the experience be similar to opening a file in Classic with an external plug-in/software (Affinity Photo, MacPhun plug-ins) and then saving the changes, closing Classic and going back to the CC interface?.Can changes with both programs be applied non-destructively to the same image?.Now if I decided to make basic edits on my desktop with CC, and advanced edits with Classic on the same image in a second step, how would this look like? I understand the library would be at the CC format and the originals transferred to the cloud. Please allow me to ask you how exactly the workflow would look like if I decided to migrate my library to LR CC, and still wanted to benefit from the advanced editing from LR Classic? LR Classic on the other hand has a reassuring folder structure, manually entered metadata (faces, keywords), editing tools and plugins that I would miss.LR CC would allow me to take advantage of the smart tags and free up space on my desktop.My current setup is LR Classic on both desktop & laptop, with my catalog syncing on Dropbox and the originals on my desktop. I'm as well trying to understand if/why working with both Classic and CC would make sense for me. Hi all and thank you 99jon for your insights. So there would be some duplication, although smart previews are compressed files.' – 99jon You would just need to be aware that each app stores smart previews separately. The new Lr CC also manages disk space more efficiently using proxies (smart previews) to keep the overall footprint as minimal as possible on your laptop and mobile device. ' You would not need to move anything manually because anything added to Lr CC gets uploaded to the cloud and down to LR Classic. Is it possible to import photos to Lr Classic as I always have, then choose only certain photos (or perhaps identify specific folders) which would be synced with Lr CC? If so please tell me how. Where do Lr CC files appear in Lr Classic after they are synced?ģ. Are you saying that All Lr CC files (that are synced with the cloud) are automatically synced with Lr Classic? Or do I need to enable that somehow?Ģ.

I have a feeling you can clarify some things.ġ. Hank you for this, I've searched the web trying to find some answers.
