Question

RAW Dateien verbleiben in der Cloud

Ich möchte RAW Dateien von der Kamera unterwegs ins iPad Pro importieren, sortieren und bearbeiten. Dabei füllt sich der Clous Speicher schnell. Wenn ich dann am MAc unter Lightroom Classic die Datein vom iPad syschronisiere, auf lokale Ordner verschiebe, verbeiben die Datein als RAW im Cloud-Speicher. 

Während Datein die ich in Lightroom Classic imortiere, bearbeite und synchronisiere nur ca. 8-19Mb in der Cloud benötigen, belegen die verbleibenden RAWs in der Cloud ca. 20 -25 MB. Wie ist dies zu ändern.

If you have the Photography plan with 20GB, then Lightroom mobile will stop syncing when that number is reached. Once you have synced these 20GB raw files to Lightroom Classic, remove them from 'All Synced Photographs' in Lightroom Classic. That will keep the images in Lightroom Classic and on your hard drive, but remove them from the cloud and from Lightroom mobile. This creates room for syncing the next 20GB of raw files still on your iPad. Etcetera.

Thanx, that works - but that is not that what I want. Then now all removed photos from „all synced photos“ ( I tried this just with the RAW-Photos , witch are still in the cloud) disappeared in the Collection… I want to remove the big RAWs from cloud and get just the smart-previews there - so how I goes, when I load my RAWs direct in Lightroom, develope them there and sync this photos after them to the cloud. That‘s why I see this Photos with just 8 -10 Mb in the cloud during witch the RAW photos load over the iPad have the big filesize - understand?
Kind regards, Michael

After they have been removed, you can sync them again from Lightroom Classic. This time they will be smart previews that do not count in your cloud space. That's the only way.

    Hi there,

     

    Thanks for reaching out. I'd love to help you figure this out.

     

    Depending on where you start to import images in Lightroom, the way cloud storage is used can change.

    When you import images in Lightroom Mobile (iPad) or Adobe Lightroom on a desktop, the full-size copy of the original image gets uploaded to the cloud, and the space is occupied accordingly.

     

    If you sync collections from Lightroom Classic, only smart previews are synced. Smart previews do not consume space on the cloud.

    What you are experiencing is expected and can not be changed at the moment. If you are running out of cloud storage, you can upgrade the cloud storage with your plan. Check this article for help: https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/upgrade-creative-cloud-storage.html

    Let us know if this helps,

    Thanks!

    I obviously don't really understand the approach here. Most of the time I import my photos on the desktop with Lightroom Classic and then sync my collections via the cloud with Lightroom on my iPad. I don't understand what goes to the cloud and then to my iPad in this context: Smart Previews, 1:1 previews, or RAW with metadata? Smart previews don't use cloud storage according to Adobe, so why is my cloud so full? I can't find a way to set whether I sync just the Smart Previews or RAW to the Cloud.
    If I am traveling, I only want to import and edit my photos on the iPad. Here is already times the problem that this can be saved only in the form of collections. The photos then of course also go as RAW in the cloud, so far so good. Now I would like to synchronize the photos of the trip on the desktop back into Lightroom Classic. In doing so, the RAW files remain in the cloud. The solution of deleting the entire cloud and then resending all my collections to the cloud in Lightroom Classic is not a practical workflow. 
    By the way, I can't see the option to upgrade my Cloud Storage range to just more Storage - I see only the switch to die Adobe Cloud with all applications. That's not what I want, sorry...

    It's quite simple. If you sync from Lightroom Classic to the cloud, then smart previews are synced. If you import images in Lightroom mobile or Lightroom desktop, then you'll send originals to the cloud. There is a setting to replace the originals by smart previews on the iPad, but the originals remain in the cloud. Lightroom Classic will download these originals, but won't replace them by smart previews (unless you unsync and then resync them from Lightroom Classic).
