Can I choose which images or catalogs to synchronize?

[dakksolo]

Hello everyone, I'm new to lightroom (I've always used Camera Raw and Bridge) I've desktop/mobile/web lightroom. My big question is: Can I choose what to sync? example: I take 100 photos with Iphone (NOT lightroom mobile photo) every time I go into lightroom mobile App to edit a photo, it syncs all 100 photos that I am not interested in, and I get them in lightroom web/desktop. Similarly, I don't want to import a 30Mb photo to lightroom desktop and find it in lightroom mobile on the iphone. How does one choose what to sync. (maybe it's me not understanding how to take advantage of this automatic thing). Thanks for the helpfulness. 🤝😊

You are in the wrong forum. This is the Lightroom Classic forum but your question is not about Lightroom Classic. Please post in the Lightroom (ecosystem) forum.

Hello everyone, I'm new to lightroom (I've always used Camera Raw and Bridge) I've Lightroom classic desktop/Lightroom mobile/web Lightroom. My big question is: Can I choose what to sync? example: I take 100 photos with Iphone (NOT lightroom mobile photo) every time I go into lightroom mobile App to edit a single photo, it syncs all 100 photos that I am not interested in, and I get them in lightroom web/desktop.  How does one choose what to sync.

In the Lightroom Settings/Import you should see option switches to Auto Import from Camera Roll.

TBMK if you turn these switches 'off' then photos taken with the IOS iPhone camera will only be added to Lr & synced to the Cloud by a 'manual' process. 

Photos taken with the Lightroom Camera will always be synced to the Cloud.
