I want to uninstall my Lightroom on my desktop and install Lightroom Classic on my desktop under my current Lightroom Subscription

    If your current subscription is for the original “Lightroom Only” plan, then yes you will need to switch your plan to the current Lightroom plan, which includes Lightroom Classic.

    Thanks for that , it’s asking me to sign up for a package when I already have one , is there any way around this as I already pay monthly for Lightroom. Do I have to take the new package and cancel the old one?

    In summary- Before Un-installing Lightroom- can do later.

    1] install Lightroom-Classic

    2] Open LrC preferences on the [Lightroom Sync] tab

    3] Check the box for [Specify Location for Lightroom’s synced images:]

    4] Choose a disk folder where you want all photos to download from Lr. Also check box to Include sub-folders for Capture dates. (You can specify an external connected drive if internal drive has limited space)

    5] Turn on Sync by clicking on the Cloud icon (top-right UI corner)

    When all photos have downloaded (happens automatically with Sync ‘on’) you can later delete photos from the Cloud. Seek more information before doing this.

    SYNC SETUP IN CLASSIC

     

    Regards. My System: Windows-11, Lightroom-Classic 15.4.1, Photoshop 27.8, ACR 18.4, Lightroom 9.4, Lr-iOS 10.4.0, Bridge 16.0.3 .
