You have all quite possibly seen some of Bruce mentions as the how LR Classic “leverages the cloud.” If you have some/all of your photos synched to your portion of the cloud, then it is quick and easy to make a selection of 10-15 shots, call it a gallery, and generate the URL for others to link to. E.g., here is one of mine: https://adobe.ly/308IbSp Bob in London is doing similar with his occasional galleries though, IIRC, he is using the newer LR CC rather than the LR Classic. While I like this feature, it is great for on-the-road sharing to my travel blog, the cloudy bits can also be a PITA. In particular I do NOT want to willy nilly synch all of my images to the cloud when I am traveling, and certainly when I am at home. Synch can be turned off, but I find it difficult to selectively synch just those images that I want out there. But for a professional, on the job site, sharing batches of images with a client, it seems it could be very useful. stan > > On Thu, Apr 2, 2020 at 1:46 PM Godfrey DiGiorgi <godfreydigio...@me.com> > wrote: >> >> There is a distinction to be made: Lightroom Classic is the "old way", >> desktop-based Lightroom with some Cloud service stuff added on that you can >> choose to use or not.
