Lightroom Workflow

Hi, I’m hoping someone can help me work out the best Lightroom workflow for what I’m trying to achieve.

I have my original RAW files stored on an external hard drive, and I use both Lightroom Classic and Lightroom (Cloud) on my laptop, as well as Lightroom on my iPad.

What I ultimately want is to have my full-resolution, high-quality original RAW files available across all three Lightroom applications:

• Lightroom Classic on my laptop

• Lightroom Cloud on my laptop

• Lightroom on my iPad

I want to be able to edit the photos on my iPad using the full-resolution originals, not just Smart Previews, and then export high-quality JPEGs directly from my iPad for social media.

I also want my edits to sync properly between all three — so if I edit a photo on my iPad, I want that edit to appear in Lightroom Cloud and Lightroom Classic on my laptop.

Is there a way to have the full-resolution originals available on all three devices/applications while keeping the edits synchronised between them?

If this is possible, what would be the correct workflow for importing the photos and setting up the syncing?

I’m happy to start again from scratch if that’s the best option. I just want to make sure I set it up correctly and don’t end up with duplicate photos or lose any edits.

Basically, I want the best possible workflow where Lightroom Classic, Lightroom Cloud and my iPad can all work with the same high-quality original photos and keep my edits in sync.

What would you recommend?

Thank you
