Question

I feel like a fool, and probably why i never used Lightroom or photoshop.

 

i just signed up for the 1Tb Lightroom subscription last week.  I somehow sucessfully migrated 60,000 photos from Apple photo.

 

Now what do i do ?  i dont see the same home screen that shows Library and Develop, etc.

 

can anyone help me get to a starting point ?

    "i dont see the same home screen that shows Library and Develop, etc."

    You have "Lightroom". The home screen you mention is from a different app called "Lightroom-CLASSIC"

    It is important to understand the difference, and be seeking instructional videos, etc, for the specific app you are using.

    COMPARE LIGHTROOM & LIGHTROOM-CLASSIC FEATURES

    The '1Tb Lightroom' subscription does not include Lightroom-CLASSIC. To have Lightroom-Classic you would need a change of plan to the Photography Plan, but having already 'migrated' to the 'Cloud' version of Lightroom that presents big problems, that would need further research. CLOUD TO CLASSIC - MIGRATE IN REVERSE 

     

    Regards. My System: Windows-11, Lightroom-Classic 15.1.1, Photoshop 27.3.1, ACR 18.1.1, Lightroom 9.0, Lr-iOS 10.4.0, Bridge 16.0.2 .

    THANK YOU !,  my follow on question is....   how do i get started from here to start editing and cataloging my pictures ?  or should i delete what Ive done and switch to classic ?

     

    I have 60,000 photos already, and I take more all the time, the camera takes very arge files, i do have a very fast Mac, and good hard drives.   I went with the cloud version because it seemed like newer was better, I am a total newbie at this. please pardon my ignorance.

     

    I just want to set it up properly and then use it from now on rather than Apple photos
