Show embedded previews after cloud sync

Hello there community, I have the following workflow:

I categorise all my photos using Lightroom Classic, put the best ones in collections and sync those to the cloud (Lightroom CC). Now, I heavily rely on embedded previews since I shoot Fujifilm and my JPEGs are pretty much perfect most of the time. I keep all RAW files too because I need to ocasionally do some tweaks/edits.

The problem I'm facing is that when I sync the photos to Lightroom CC the embedded previews disappear – I only see the smart previews. Any ideas on how to sync the embedded previews too? Anything I'm doing wrong? Any tips are appreciated! 

 

Cheers,
Yav

Do you happen to know what would happen if I do that on a large catalog with embedded previews already applied? Would I also be able to automatically stack the JPEG/raw files?


If you change the setting for raw+jpeg in the preferences, then that only applies to new imports. I think that if you use 'Synchronize Folder', those jpegs will be imported after all. There is no auto-stacking, but you can try to auto stack by capture time (which is obviously the same, so select zero difference).

You want the impossible. What gets synced is a smart preview, which is not really a preview but a proxy for the original file. The normal preview is what you see, and that one gets generated on the device, from the smart preview. That means this preview can never be the embedded Fujifilm preview.

I see, thanks for the response @JohanElzenga! I guess the only way to sync the Fuji jpegs is to toggle the "treat JPEGs files next to raw files as separate photos" setting?
