Hi,

 

I'm going away soon and thought it might be a good time to do some photo editing.. but i'll be off the grid and so would like to sync (download) my photos from Adobe Cloud to my laptop before I go... but I can't work out if thats possible ? (( I'm using Lightroom CC - not Classic))

Any adivce would be great.

 

Thanks,

Bradley

You can go into the preferences and turn on "store local copy". This will download local copies of everything (if you have enough storage space) and allow you to work on them while you are offline. You can also store local copies of individual albums which may be a better option. Here's more information. https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom-cc/using/preferences.html

And if you don't have enough space to store a copy of the originals, you could store Smart Previews locally instead. They will work when offline, though because they are smaller resolution (2560px on the long edge) they might not be suitable for fine detailed work
