Question

Possible to move photos from LR mobile to LR Classic without passing through Adobe's Cloud?

Hi all, is something like this possible:

 

1) Take RAW/ProRAW photos on an iPhone, import them into LR mobile, develop them in LR mobile

(I have this much sorted out)

 

2) Move the RAW/ProRAW photos along with their adjustment settings from the iPhone to my Mac running LR Classic -- but WITHOUT syncing them from LR mobile to Adobe's Cloud, then syncing from Adobe's Cloud to LR Classic on my Mac?

 

I'm hoping to take better quality photos with the mobile on the go, but then keep everything centralized in my LR Classic -- and seems much better if I can do this:

 

Developed photos on LR moble >>> Developed photos in LR Classic

 

Rather than:

 

Developed photos on LR moble>>> Adobe's Cloud >>> Developed photos in LR Classic

 

Thanks for any suggestions!

    I'm not sure about ProRAW, but if you export the photos as DNG, then they will have the edits in the metadata. Lightroom Classic will automatically read and apply these edits on import.

    Thanks, I may be a bit daft... how does one export DNGs from LR moble, and then import them into LR Classic?

     

    If both devices are on the same network, is there maybe some way to send them directly?

    When you export an image from Lightroom Mobile, you can select the Files app as destination, and then iCloud Drive. That will make the image appear on the Mac in the same iCloud account, so you can import the image in Lightroom Classic.
