i have auto import enabled in Lightroom to bring in iCloud photos. Is there a way to enable smart previews with auto import?

Correct answer JP Hess

I can't turn on sync for a smart collection. Can I have a collection for last 365 days photos? I only see a way to do that with smart collections.

Smart collections cannot be synchronized. Only "regular" collections can be synchronized with Lightroom Mobile or with Lightroom.adobe.com.

I checked out How to sync Lightroom desktop and the Lightroom mobile app but it's not making sense to me at all. I want to sync the last 365 days of photos to tablet. I must be missing something obvious.

Tried this? In a web browser, log in to your page at Lightroom.adobe,com.

What if you went to the performance tab in the Lightroom preferences and enabled using smart previews for editing? Would that do the trick for you?

Not sure, the reason for smart previews is to be able to use Lightroom on a laptop that may not have access to original photos. Main machine is a desktop. Would that work?

How are you proposing to get the Smart previews onto the laptop? Are you tethering the camera to the laptop? Not quite following the workflow here.
