Hi all,
I have images in my Lightroom cloud account that were directly imported into Lightroom Mobile from my camera card during an initial cull in the field. All my images are stored on a hard drive after I return home, and these can be viewed through the local tab in Lightroom desktop.
When I want to review all the images after returning home, I can choose the "Add photo" option from the Cloud tab, and lightroom desktop recognises the previously imported images in that file structure and wont let me re-import them. But if I browse these same folders on my hard drive through the Local tab, Lightroom does not recognise the versions previously imported and now in the cloud, meaning I can easily end up with many duplicates in the cloud.
Is there a way to search/identify from the Local tab these previously imported images? The "Copied to cloud" filter only seems to return images copied to the cloud from the Local tab, and won't find the images imported directly from the card in the field (even though the add photos option from the cloud tab will identify them from the same folder structure). This would not be an issue, except that the add photos option from cloud tab does not allow large previews, does not show the file name or pick flags, so I cant easily identify which version of a photo I need to import (I mainly shoot wildlife, so usually have hundreds of similar images to choose the best from).
For ref, I am using Lightroom desktop v. 8.3.1 on a MacBook Pro M3, and Lightroom Mobile on an iPad Air (5th Gen).
Cheers!
