Photo Plan

You did reply to the messages. It's better to come to the forums in your browser however, not to respond by email.

Your First Question.

LR Classic, the traditional version of LR which comes with the Photography Plan, does not Sync the Catalog across to a differetn install on another computer. It only knows about the images imported into the catalog file on that one computer you are using LR Classic on.

So the REAL Question is Which EXACT version of LR have you installed on both your desktop and on the notebook.

To find out open LR go to the Help menu and select System Info. Copy and paste the Version number from both your computers into a reply to this discussion.

The photo plan comes with two versions: Lightroom Classic and Lightroom (cloud). Lightroom Classic uses a local catalog and locally stored images. If you install it on two computers, it will use a different catalog on each computer and so you won't see the same images. Because you cannot sync two Lightroom Classic catalogs, most people place the catalog (and the images) on an external drive that they can then use with both computers.

Lightroom (cloud) stores the images and edits in the cloud. If you install it on two computers you will see the same images and edits, but because you store everything in the cloud, the default 20 GB storage space of the Photography plan will not be enough in the slightly longer term. In that case the Lightroom plan may be the better choice.

To see your photos on the Android phone you could use both versions. In Lightroom Classic you can choose which images you want to see, and sync those to the cloud. You can only do this from one catalog, however. If you use Lightroom (cloud), you will see all the images on the phone as well. You can't selectively sync them.

Hi
Since your question is about Lightroom, I have moved this from the "Get Started" forum for you.
