P: Ability to sync Lightroom Classic keywords with the Lightroom Ecosystem

Keywords do not sync correctly: When added on the mobile app (iOS), they do not appear in LR classic and not in LR Web (I deleted the new LR CC immediately, this version does not make sense to me).
Same problem into the other direction: Keywords from LR classic do not appear on the mobile app. 
Attention: At this stage the whole keywording within the iOS app should not be used!

    Hello!

    I have some issues related to meta-tagging a rather large collection of images. Specifically I need to know how to manage images in Lightroom CC vs Lightroom Classic.

    I need to metatag about 10K images with many different tags - e.g. animals, history, buildings. When I save the meta-tags for an image I want the tags to follow the image from Classic to CC and vice versa.

    With Classic the tags AKA keywords can be saved to the image file. When I upload the images with keywords to CC it is not obvious what happens... I need a safe workflow to secure my keywords and I am not sure if the best way will be to do all the keywording in Classic or in CC. Obviously I want to be able to move images from CC to Classic and vice versa and still be able to search the images for given keywords.

    I would prefer not to have to choose between them - I need the best form both of them...

      That's annoying.

      Choice is made for me i'll stay with classic.

      I don't understand why they remove the keywords feature ; it's essential for a catalog.

        I fully agree with Kaffeesegler. I have been using Lightroom since LR1 and I am really fond of this software. Lightroom CC seems to me a huge step forward and I try to use it on my laptop for more than 2 months. However key-words are a serious issue. Compared to Lightroom Classic Lightroom CC handles key words very poorly and above all sync between LR Classic and LR CC doesn't really work for key words. For me this is a huge drawback and prevents me tu use LR CC efficiently on my laptop. I hope that Adobe will change his mind and reconsider key words in LR CC.

            So they want us to move away from Adobe. Sad.

              why the hell is Adobe designing like that? Do they listen to LR Classic users still?

                Not when I’m on the road using my laptop. I only need Classic CC on my main workstation. Prior to Lightroom CC cloud I couldn’t take my archive on the road easily.

                Isn’t that the other way around? Classic CC for the archive and CC for the botched cloud?

                The features I'd miss from moving over to Lightroom CC full time are mainly around import and export:
                • Applying import preset
                • Applying metadata presets
                • Creating a second copy
                • Push collections
                • Export presets
                • KEYWORDING
                That's before I get onto how much it would cost to have my whole archive in the cloud!

                My way of working is that when I am on the road, I want to get my images processed, keyworded and uploaded as soon as possible. Then when I get back to base, I want them added into my main catalog.

                When Lightroom CC was announced I was one of the few photographers who felt positive towards it - I thought I would be able to do away with my clunky workflow of creating and importing new catalogs each trip. However Adobe were ever so slightly off target - what could have been really helpful turns out to be not much use at all.

                On my laptop I've got both CC to access the important pictures from my archive and Classic CC, to use my clunky workflow for new images.
