Question

Sync develop settings from Lr (IM) to Lr Classic (Print)

Hi,

I am often traveling with my camera. During travel I download some of the photos from my Fuji X-S10 to the phone through Fuji-X app and edit those jpegs on phone in Lr Cloud. It works perfectly and I have set of edited and polished images ready for my social media. When I get home from travel, I import RAW+jpegs from SD card to Lr Classic and I want to print high quality prints on my printer.

 

Its there any way how to batch-sync all those development settings to imported RAWs or at least high quality jpegs? I did try syncomatic plugin - but it is not exactly that - photos has to be side by side to apply sync and direction of sync is somehow presetted - I couldnt find way how to do it right. Do you have any workflow suggestion how to do this?

 

Thanks,

Miloslav

Copying the edits from a (pre-processed in camera) JPG to a (un-processed) raw file is not going to give you the exact same results.

There is a Plugin available to purchase (and a trial) at -https://www.photographers-toolbox.com/products/jbeardsworth/syncomatic/

 

 

Regards. My System: Windows-11, Lightroom-Classic 15.3, Photoshop 27.5, ACR 18.3, Lightroom 9.3, Lr-iOS 10.4.0, Bridge 16.0.3 .

I'm not sure, if I completely understand.

Why do you import again in LrC? If already imported to the cloud, the original you imported will be synced to LrC already.

Did you try to import and work on the RAWs while being mobile? This then syncs the RAWs including the edits made.

Hi, thanks for reply and sorry for confusion. While I am on the go, I am able to only import JPEGs to Lr due to fujiX app restrictions, internet bandwidth restrictions, adobe cloud limited disk space and so on. It is more convenient from many reasons. Then, when I get to the home, I do import RAWs - at home, i want the best quality for prints and I am no longer limited by those things. The question is - is there any way how to sync many hours of work on editing those photos again by syncing developments settings from those JPEGs to those RAWs to be ready to print?

I don't know of any officially supported way of syncing these edits as you expect.

However, in your case, the jpg is downloaded to LrC, including the edits, correct?

Does syncing the edits from this download to the locally imported RAW not give you the expected results?
