Question

Lightroom on Imac and Ipad Pro

I'm currently managing my LR catalog on an Imac (desktop). I bought an Ipad Pro tablet with the idea to do the same on it. I've just noticed that LR mobile on the Ipad doesn't manage CC catalogs. How is this possible? What do Adobe proposes to run CC workflows on the Ipad pro?

Lightroom for iPad is like Lightroom desktop, not like Lightroom Classic. The catalog is in the cloud. There is no mobile version of Lightroom Classic.

I don't want to pay (significant) Adobe subscription fees to get storage space on their cloud. My catalog is extremely heavy and I have internal means of adequate storage, without having to call on Adobe on top go this. Forcing users to use the Cloud is completely wrongand unacceptable : this is clearly a forced sale scheme that can be severely condemned by the European Community.

Get the facts before you accuse Adobe of all kinds of things. You are not forced to use cloud storage space at all if you use Lightroom Classic. And if you sync images from Lightroom Classic to the cloud, then they'll sync as smart previews which do not count against the 20GB cloud storage space that comes with the Photography Plan. So if you just want to edit some if your images in Lightroom on your iPad and sync them back to Lightroom Classic, then you can do this in your current plan without paying extra.

 

It's just that you asked about managing your catalog on an iPad. That is a different feature, that Aobe does not offer for Lightroom Classic catalogs. I fail to see what the European Cummunity has to do with that, even though I live in Europe too.
