Question

Sync only photos taken in Lightroom Mobile.

Is there any way to only sync photos taken in Lightroom mobile? If I want to take an "art" photo with my phone, I use Lightroom mobile and shoot in RAW so that I can have more editing control.  I would like those photos synced to the Adobe cloud.  But I really don't want to sync the photos I took with my regular phone camera to my Adobe account.  Those photos are already backed up to iCloud and I never edit those photos in Lightroom so I don't want them taking up space in my Adobe cloud account.

    Just disable auto-import in Lightroom app settings.  In Settings > Import, it's actually the section called Auto Add From Device Photos.  Images and videos from your camera roll will no longer be automatically imported.  

     

    Camera roll images and videos you edit in the "Device" tab in Lightroom do get imported and synced, just fyi.  Over in the "Lightroom" tab, you can tell which images you captured using the Lightroom app camera by going to the "Lr camera photos" album that's automatically setup for you.
