#LIGHTROOM CC FOR MAC APP FULL#
I followed the steps I outlined last week to un-sync them to remove the full resolution photos from storage, then used Classic to add them back to a synced collection if I wanted them available on mobile. After clearing out most of my full resolution photos last week I only had a few new photos taken with the Lightroom CC camera module. These are the photos that are counting against your CC storage limit discussed last week. So, if you are a Classic user and you select the Synced and Backed up filter you will see only the full resolution photos that are stored in the cloud. Synced from Lightroom Classic – these are all smart previews because that’s all that uploads from Classic.

#LIGHTROOM CC FOR MAC APP OFFLINE#

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.
