SYNCING LIGHTROOM CLASSIC ACCURATELY WITH LIGHTROOM MOBILE APPS

HOW TO USE LIGHTROOM TO Sync All Your Photos
Lightroom is available in two separate versions. This tutorial describes the differences between the two versions and demonstrates how to communicate with them. How to selectively sync particular photographs between Lightroom and Lightroom Classic will be covered. Your entire configuration will sync. Additionally, I’ll demonstrate how to make a smart folder. An image that you drop into that smart folder will be added to your local library and synchronised throughout the entire thing.

WHY ARE THERE TWO VERSIONS OF LIGHTROOM?
Lightroom comes in two different versions. Photoshop and Lightroom Classic.

The most recent version of Lightroom that we have ever had is called LIGHTROOM CLASSIC. It is a desktop application that includes all the necessary modules, including those for books, maps, printing, and other things. Click here to learn Lightroom in 15 minutes.

Our whole photo collection is kept on a hard disc. The cloud can be used to selectively sync collections, but you are not required to store any photographs there if you don’t want to.

Project Lightroom, Lightroom 1-6, Lightroom CC, and finally Lightroom Classic were the names given to Lightroom.

WHAT LIGHTROOM IS RIGHT NOW.

There is another Lightroom that is simply called Lightroom, in what may be the most baffling marketing strategy ever (with the superfluous addition of the term Photoshop to Lightroom). I’ll explain.

Adobe released a new beta while photographers were contentedly using Lightroom (insert version number here). It was known as Project Nimbus.

A quicker, lighter, and more mobile-focused version of Lightroom was called Project Nimbus. A phone app was the main draw of it. Nimbus later became known as Lightroom Mobile as it developed. Both Lightroom for mobile and desktop were understood by all.

Then Adobe released a new desktop application to coordinate with the iPad and phone versions. All of this software was given the name Lightroom CC before becoming simply Lightroom.

THE LIGHTROOM FAMILY IS COMPRISED OF 4 PARTS.

Lightroom’s four components are

1. The desktop application: It functions very similarly to Lightroom Classic, has many of the same features, but lacks the additional modules. It also syncs to the cloud. The pictures are synchronised to the cloud once you import them.

2. The phone app (iOS and Android) the images sync, you can edit and the edits sync too. Also has a camera as part of the app, that allows you to shoot in RAW and it syncs the photos.

3. iPad version (Arguably the best iPad photo app on the planet, it’s really good). just like the phone app, has camera, sync etc, but the interface is more like the desktop app. They really got this right.

4. Lightroom web. Access you Lightroom library through a web browser and make edit etc.

All 4 of these apps keep images and edits in sync in the cloud. It doesn’t matter which device you make the change, add the photo, delete and photo, edit etc, they all stay perfectly synced.

I hope you found this weeks tutorial interesting.
