Then you can’t use LR CC, simple as that. You’ll need to find something else to edit and render your photos on the move. > > I tried on one trip, based in part on your positive experience Bob.

You could make the argument that software developers should support the actual processes that people want to use, and many of them do a lot of ethnographic research to support that. However there’s always going to be a limit to what can be done. With LR I’ve tried to understand the process they support, and use that, the line of least resistance, rather than try to force it to do things my way. Again, there’s a limit and if software is too different from my approach I don’t use it. In the case you’ve outlined I’d import everything from the SD card into LR on my phone or iPad and do whatever work I need there. Back at home I’d just let it sync with the classic version on the desktop in the way Adobe designed it rather than try to import into the desktop version from the storage devices and merging as you’ve described. The second half of this link, which I’ve mangled to try and bypass the PDML’s guard dogs, has an explanation. < helpx.adobe.com/uk/ lightroom-classic/how-to/sync-photos-lightroom-mobile.html > > > The Cloud-based approach is ok if that is all you use, if you always or > usually have a robust connection to the net.
