    Adobe just keep making the Lightroom system better and better. I saw an update recently that talked about the ability to start sharing presets from LR Classic to CC and the mobile app, and figured it meant I could start organizing them in a new way to share them. Figured it would be a process of syncing certain ones, more organizing, etc.

    Nope. They all just sync automatically. It's perfect. I didn't have to do anything. All my photos live on an iMac and are managed in LR Classic. I sync new collections to LR CC for access on a MacBook Pro, my iPhone, and Lightroom web. All the presets are available on any device now, fully organized. Fantastic update.

    • I was totally confused by the 2 versions, at first. But I thought it was an either/or situation. I didn't realize you could use both effectively.Gnash
    • Yep. It's a godsend, seriously. It came along right at a time I was doing a serious "WTF" on my editing process and having photos available on other devices.mg33
    • hmm. so your laptop has CC, and your workhorse is Classic. Do you sync all your photos to the cloud now from Classic?Gnash
    • I don't sync everything. My main LR catalog is gigantic, hundreds of gigs. I've been syncing new photo collections organized by monthmg33
    • so that I have them for editing anywhere, posting, etc.mg33
    • It's really crazy how quickly I've gone (and happily) from a "I need to sit at this computer to do my edits" approach, to being able to do it anywheremg33
    • with the results being just as satisfactory as if I used the computer. A lot of that has to do with using a Fuji camera and using their jpg film simulations.mg33
    • I'm less burdened by starting with RAW photos and endless editing potential, and with Fuji shots use more simple customized presets of the film sims.mg33
    • so once you do the edits you take them off cloud to make room for more? don't the libraries get mixed up in the sync? (i have visions of the iCloud/iphoto mess)Gnash
    • Nope, no mix up, no nothing. As soon as you unsync a collection, it's still in LR classic and no longer on the other devices.mg33
    • sounds to good to be true! -- do you use adobe's cloud to sync or can you use a diff server?Gnash
