Terrix, The workflow you describe is sorta possible, but still pretty much a confusing mess. Here’s how it works. Files uploaded to Lightroom on a mobile device are uploaded to the cloud. The original raw files go to the cloud. They do not stay on your device. - This part is good! If your LIghtroom Classic catalog is set up for Mobile Sync, those images will also get downloaded to your computer. This is the screwy part, because they actually live in two places, in the cloud and on your computer. Only one Classic catalog can be set up for Mobile Sync. If you have a catalog at home already set up for sync, and create a new catalog when you get back from your trip, you can’t sync the new catalog. Therefore the new catalog will not see the edits you made on you mobile device. Whatever catalog you have set up for sync will see edits made in Lr Mobile. This is good. The challenge is figuring out how to manage the actual files. Ideally you don’t want them in two locations (cloud and computer). Also eventually you will want to remove them from sync without losing the images and the edits. I recently took a trip and used my iPad only. I made it work, but it took some advanced file management skills when I got back home. I don’t recommend my workflow, so I am not even going to outline what I did. But it is possible. I just haven’t figured out a smooth workflow for the files yet.
