Save Album to ext. storage - but have it still available // Keep Album in LR CC but not in Cloud

Alright folks, I need to ask. I just don't find the right solution online.

WHAT DO I LOOK FOR?

1.) Outsource a specific album

As I do in Premiere Pro with whole projects, I want to transfer special albums to an external drive. Then I want to have the possibility to go that ext. drive, select that particular album incl. all the files and settings and do some further work within LR CC. So that I outsource particular 'high volume' albums to my ext. drive and still have the permanent possibility to enter them by plugging in my ext. drive. But I just dont see a way to do so. In Premiere Pro I just copy the whole project folder to the ext. drive and that's it - that's what I want to do as well within LR CC.

2.) Separate an album from the cloud

Seperate a specific album from the cloud. I mostly don't need the albums in the cloud so I thought there might be like a button or sth. which allows me to decide whether I want to connect the album with the cloud or not. Simple as that.

So what do u think? Any help?


All the best.

Sascha

It's called Lightroom Classic CC, the desktop Lightroom. Lightroom CC (the cloud-based Lightroom) is not designed to provide any off-line editing.

Hi,

do I understand this correctly,

If i want to edit my photos within my desktop  i need the version that has CLASSIC in the name?

If i want to save and album with all the edits i have on the cloud on a stick or external hard drive to take to the printers how do I do that?

Lightroom (Cloud version 6.5) installed on your desktop computer can edit you photos, but the original files are still stored in your cloud storage.

Lightroom-Classic v12.5 needs the Camera files on a local folder location.

COMPARE LIGHTROOM & LIGHTROOM-CLASSIC FEATURES

In Lightroom-v6.5 You do a [Share/Export] of the edited images.
