Lightroom Classic and CC - keep catalog local, sync pics from iOS and move to local catalog

Hi,

I own Lightroom 6 and have subscribed to the photo plan (Lightroom Classic, CC and Photoshop) along with 20gigs of cloud storage.

I want to stay with my local catalogs in Classic. No discussion please.

One collection ("Lightroom Mobile Sync") is being synced.

My dream would be this:

-keep catalog local

-have one collection synced between Classic and CC on iOS

-import images while on the road to the iPad and sync it to the cloud

-when home, sync with Classic and move files from cloud to local catalog

Is this possible and if yes, how?

Yes that is possible. Everything imported to iOS will download as originals into Lr Classic when sync is turned on.

When the files are on your hard drive simply log-in to your Lr Web app in any browser and delete the images. That will remove them from the cloud and all devices but not from Lr Classic.

In Classic you can nominate a single folder in Preferences >> Lr CC

Removing images from the cloud will also remove them from your iPad. Is that your intention?

basically, yes Images shall disappear from iPad and cloud and instead appear in my local catalog.

The idea is that i don't have to put in the CF card into the CF card reader on the computer but instead can load all images to the iPad so that it doubles as image tank.
