conversion Lightroom <-> lightroom classic

[Aranollo]

I'm an old user of lightroom 6 and now I'm curious about the new cloud lightroom but also I don't want to lost all my previous data and photos.

If I convert my catalog to lightroom classic can I convert or import it to the new lightroom? and if I want to come back can I re-convert or re-import a new lightroom catalog to a lightroom classic catalog?

Hi there,

You can safely update your Lightroom 6 catalog to Lightroom Classic and continue using it. For more info, see https://helpx.adobe.com/in/lightroom-classic/help/create-catalogs.html#upgrade_a_catalog

Lightroom desktop sync all your images to the cloud and does not have a catalog stored locally on your computer unlike Lightroom Classic that works similar to Lightroom 6. You can upgrade your Lightroom 6 catalog to Lightroom Classic and install Lightroom desktop which will show all of your synced images.

Thanks,

I've made the upgrade to Lightroom Classic, but I have to choose between the plan with photoshop, both lightroom and 20Gb on cloud or only Lightroom with 1Tb of space so if I made the second choice how can I pass all my photos and data to cloud from LR Classic? and if, after 1 year, I want to switch to a classic plan can I pass all my photos and data back from cloud to local LR Classic?
