Years ago people asked for keywords in lightroom mobile.

The answer was “LR mobile is in development“.

Years later: there are still no keywords available in LR mobile.

But a new feature: Sensei provides automated keywords.

For what I need automates keywords if my own are not accessible?

Why goes keywords not implemented in LR mobile?

Not sure if you have seen this. We added a new room where you can add your keywords. Can be found in the same area where you toggle between Info, Rating, Comments... Hope this helps. _ Guido

Oh wait, it's getting even worse: I can't even run Lightroom CC on Windows 7 or 8? So in order to have my mobile keywords on my desktop I have to buy a new computer?

Please tell me there's a workaround. This is becoming a nightmare.

Hi Guido,

as you can see, the “new room” was not shown in my app. But now, after playing around, these 3 icons appear above the . And now, the Icons for rating, keywords and “Freigabe” are persistent.

It looks like the keywords set in the desktop application are synchronized too and searchable.

However, I can see the keywords I set in the mobile app itself, but not the keywords synced from the desktop LR.

How can I see all the keywords?

Thank you so very much for the hints.

Oh, and now? How can I work?

I pay'd for a photoshop / lightroom (6) abo and updated regular, at last to lightroom CC classic.

Shall I install a second program (lightroom CC) on my Desktop to sync the keywords?

Will lightroom CC and lightroom CC Classic interfere each other?

Do both programs use of the same database (katalog)?

Can both programs run parallel?

Like you did before. Lightroom Classic hasn't synced keywords to cloud storage for quite a while. Just use Classic as your main system and Lightroom CC as a side thing. That for now is probably the best strategy for this for people that have large existing photo libraries and do anything mildly complex such as printing.

Shall I install a second program (lightroom CC) on my Desktop to sync the keywords?

I don't see why. Do you really need your Classic keywords on the cloud?

Will lightroom CC and lightroom CC Classic interfere each other?

You can use both concurrently. There is possible interference indeed but it is quite manageable.

Do both programs use of the same database (katalog)?

No. Lightroom Classic can use many different catalogs but they have to be on your own hard disk. Lightroom CC can only use a single catalog and it HAS to be in the cloud. So they are always different. Lightroom Classic can sync the CC catalog into it's own local catalog as a subsection of it but it can't use a cloud catalog.

Can both programs run parallel?

yes that works just fine. Just like you can run Lightroom on a mobile device at the same time that you are running Lightroom Classic, you can run CC on the same computer at the same time. You should think of Lightroom CC as simply a port of Lightroom mobile to the desktop. In fact this is very much what it is.
