I have been using it for awhile now. I store all my photos from my sd card on an external hard drive. When I am out of town and download photos to my iPad and import them to lightroom mobile and organize and edit them, what would be a good work flow to get them from my iPad to external drive for permanent storage and free up storage on my iPad?

I feel as if there is a step missing there. Can you explain to me the in between as if I’m completely new to Lightroom?

Now you’ve changed to 5 stars for Selects. Is that just to save the step of un-Flagging all the Picks?

Why the change, please? TIA.

Many thanks for your answer!

It’s not you. Collection Sets from Lightroom Classic do not sync to Lightroom Cloud, and “Folders” in Lightroom Cloud do not sync to Lightroom Classic, so yes, you do have to create those manually in both apps.

But when I have organized my Collections in LR Classic as shown above and synced them with Lightroom I need to do the same in Lightroom (cloud version) again. I can see the Collections / Albums in Lightroom but they do not appear under the corresponding “Collection Set” in Lightroom (cloud). I need to create a new Folder and move the Albums into the right Folder manually. Is this correct or do I something wrong?

So my Samsung T5 holds my photos AND the catalog. I don’t erase the SD cards until I get the T5 home and get it linked to Lightroom on my iMac. Overnight, my T5 is then backed up to BackBlaze, a second SSD drive using Carbon Copy Cloner, AND to a third SSD from TimeMachine. Only then do I erase the original SD cards. I’m about to have to upgrade my T5 to a larger ‘field’ SSD but otherwise the system works well. (One advantage is that the drive created by Carbon Copy Cloner is a mirror image of the T5 – all photos and the current catalog. So if the T5 should fail, all I have to do is rename the mirrored drive to be the same as the T5, and Lightroom doesn’t know that the drive has even changed. But everything is intact – at least as currently as last nights 2:00 AM clone run)

Hi, Marc: I connect the SD card reader to my computer and the Samsung 500GB SSD drive to my computer, and I go straight from the SD card to the hard drive. Once they’re on the hard drive, then I import them into Lightroom. 2) An easy way to do this is to right-click on the Collection Set you want to move to your main computer when you get home from holiday, and from the pop-up menu that appears, choose “Export as Catalog” and put that exported catalog on a hard drive. Connect that to your main computer, then choose “Import from Another Catalog” and import that catalog and it merges it into your existing catalog keeping all the sorting and edits you made to your travel catalog. I’ll try and cover this process on Friday here. Hope that helps for now.

I like that idea. 🙂
