From Lightroom 6 to Lightroom CC

[Carl lykke0D4C]

I have Lightroom 6 installed on my computer. What happens with the fotos if I buy Lightroom CC. Shall I do something special?

First of all, there is NO Lightroom CC. There is Lightroom Classic, which functions much like Lightroom 6, utilizes a local catalog, stores images locally on your computer's hard drive, but adds many new features. Then there is Lightroom, the version that stores all your images in the cloud. Which version are you interested in?

Lightroom is quite different from the Lightroom you have been using. The feature set is different, and some of the features you are accustomed to using are missing. In order to include the images you have been using it will be necessary for you to install the trial version of Lightroom Classic long enough to upgrade your catalog so that it's compatible with Lightroom. That is necessary in order to migrate the images to the cloud. After you have allowed Lightroom Classic to convert the catalog you can uninstall Lightroom Classic and proceed with the migration.

Beyond that, I can't give you a lot of information because I am primarily a Lightroom Classic user. I'm sure there are others who can provide you with a better perspective.

I will say that Lightroom organizes your images quite differently. They will not be organized in the folder structure that you are accustomed to. They will instead be organized by date. And instead of using collections you will be able to organize them into albums. It takes a little getting used to, but those who like the Lightroom system seem to adapt to it quickly.
