ELEMENTS 2020

FOLKS: I admit I do not understand working with ' the cloud'. I have an APPLE laptop and have about 20,000 high quaality photos stored on the laptop. I am being pushed by some friends to put my photos into the APPLE CLOUD. I do not really understand how I could bring a photo from the cloud into my machine to work on ( ELEMENTS 19). Now, the newest version of Elements (2020) has a number of new features that I would like to have. I am thinking this might be the time to upgrade my Elements and move my photos to the APPLE CLOUD. I question if 2020 is easy to work with utilizing the cloud? 

Any suggestions/help would be appreciated.

    It’s not a good idea to put everything into the Apple cloud unless you wish to continue using the Apple photos app instead of the Elements Organizer. Make a choice. It’s one or the other. Of course the Apple cloud provides sync to all iPhone and iPad devices if needed. The only way to edit directly in the PSE editor is by installing an extension in the Photos app. Then it’s possible to edit directly in Elements, saving a copy back to the photos app.

    My question is similar.  Is there a way to edit directly from Light Room CC?  And then save directly back to LR?

     

    I am hoping it is as easy as you make it sound with Apple Photos.  

    Thank you.

    I'm not clear I understand what you are asking? Are you using the cloud version, Lightroom 2.4.1 or Lightroom Classic 8.4.1 

    Are you wanting to use both?
