#Adobe photoshop lightroom classic vs v6 install

I linked to a video above that said the plan that I have is for local storage.at least that is what i understood.The competition was always there. Then basically as a nomad in Africa for the time being and then other contienents after that, the WIFI is sporadic and poor and cell service slow and costly. 20gb storage be like a drop in the bucket of the stotage space I need. I don't think I have the cloud plan.photos on media I carry with me. Migrating to the Cloud version is an entire change of storage method.īe sure of your decision before migrating. Your Legacy v6 Catalog opens in Lightroom-Classic just as before (with an upgrade).

You DO NOT NEED 'legacy Lightroom' IF you have the Photography Plan 20GB- If you install and use the now called Lightroom-Classic.

Migrating to the Cloud Version of Lightroom- all your files are effectively 'moved' to the Cloud.

'if/when I to go with the Lightroom Classic CC and migrate my current catalog is whether I can continue to have access to the legacy lighroom and the catalog.' I get the feeling your going to think I'm crazy IS that a reasonable 'load' to put on the catalog? The work effort to prep for catalog migration will be way too much before I head to back to Africa ( just in the US visiting at the moment). SO I create a 'africa' collection (huge), then a 'tanzania' collection, then a collection of those folders beneath that (see screenshot). Here is an an example.the Tanzania folder is in a master folder called Africa, then Tanzania, then day count ( i.e days in africa) with a folder title basic info about where that day or group of days was. Really the folder count for the last 20 years is huge and folder name tells me basic context for a grouping of pics as does the heirarchy of folders. Have 20 years photos in lightroom and increasing quite a bit lately as I now live primarily on the road overlanding in Africa and have folder by country, by day of life on the road.

I'm not familair wiht how to nest those in collections to maintain the structure is it possible do you know? It looks like maybe, but thinking I'm not going to be able to maintain it going forward anyway the way this new lightroom classic works. I take it that insrtruction is to create a collection for each folder in my legacy lightroom. The issue is I have probably 1000's of folders, at times nested sometimes four deep. As a workaround, before migrating, create collections in Lightroom Classic mimicking the custom folder names/structures.

Custom folder names are not migrated to Lightroom.

Ian, I am having heartburn already.feeling like Adobe left me out to dry, but here is one big one for me from the instructions Big thanks to the forum and maybe this thread will help others looking for the catalog migration part too. I'll post those issues or questions in a seperate thread if I need to. Perhaps the problems I am getting so far though are resolveable as well as just accepting that some things are just going to be different. I am reading about the new Lighroom Classic CC and have been using a test setup wioth some files and I am not out of the box happy slam dunk this is the way to go. Question I have is whether if/when I to go with the Lightroom Classic CC and migrate my current catalog is whether I can continue to have access to the legacy lighroom and the catalog.that migrating the catalog is not destructive to what I was doing.

When you read about it in the learn more link there is plenty to undertand in the current catalog in the legacy lighroomīefore pulling that trigger to convert.

From there before starting a migration there are warnings With that clarification, in Lightrrom Classic CC, File-> 'Migrate From' option and then the sub option with mouse over of Lightroom Classic Catalog. Adobe refers to this as Lightoom Classic CC I believe ( see this vide ) The About Lighroom in the app help menu says Adobe Photoshop Lighroom ver 6.2 When I referred to new Lighroom 6, yes am referring to the desktop version from one of the photography plans that comes with only 20bg storage and all media files stored on local hardrives as well as the LR catalog. When I referred to lightroom legacy, am referring to the no longer upgradable version ( rev 6) ( in the app Help tab->About menu is referred to as Adobe Photoshop Lighroom 6.0 I'm the orginal poster trying now to catch up on this thread I started.
