I love your tutorials, happy 2025 .

Thank you so much for your shared creativity. This is exactly what I’ve been looking for so long.

Hi Lori, Thanks for the video. Years ago, I switched from Lightroom Classic to using a combo of Bridge/Camera Raw/Photoshop. When I made the switch, I moved all of my photos from LRC with one easy step. It's a process that works with Bridge, Camera Raw and the new Lightroom Desktop and it doesn't involve the cloud at all. Just go into LRC and into the Library module. There, select 'All Photographs' from the Catalog Panel. For me, that's the top left panel in the LRC interface. Select all the photos using Edit>Select All. Then save the metadata for all the selected imaged by choosing Metadata>Save Metadata to Files. For me, the process just took a few minutes. If your files are DNG files, the data will be save inside those files. But for me, since I'm a Canon shooter and my files are cr3 files, the data was saved as a sidecar file. After this process, my files along with any edits made inside were available inside Bridge (in terms of seeing the file as edited in the interface), Camera Raw and in Lightroom Desktop. Note that an xmp file will be saved for all photos, not just the ones with edits. But these are tiny files so that doesn't bother me. And it allowed me to not worry about what is still in my LRC catalog. Anyway, hope this is helpful. Mary

Hi Lori, I'm a bit confused by Lightroom Classic vs Lightroom. Do you meant make the Switch from Lr Classic to Lr CC? Please correct me if I misunderstand: in the Cloud you do not need catalog?

Gosh: Did I get this wrong all along? Isn't that: Catalogs are where the edits reside. The raw-original files are stored where they are stored. That's what goes bonkers when the files are moved. The Catalog, the files with the info on the edits, can't find the Raw that they refer to. For instance: Right now, after a 5-year hiatus from photography, (family emergencies, injuries and sickness) I need to work out what to do about how to carry on. One issue is that I need to upgrade my computer. It was old and slow 5 years ago! How to proceed? On the one hand, those old files need to stay together then somehow the catalogue files and the raw files need to snuggle down in the new computer. On the other hand, I want to consider using the new more cloud-based system. My thought ranges from doing whatever painstaking procedure needed to keep them all together, to the outrageous option to simply moving the raw files into their new home and starting over. Through the smidge of work I've done processing these years and the bit I've been seeing on new features to keep up, along with my advancing sense of esthetics, I can redo what I am moved to, as I have time. I need to focus on the new work anyway. What I like about the cloud-based system is that I can have my cake while I eat it! Either or seems lame, doesn't it? What do I want? Well, the bulk of my raw files here in their primary home, while being able to move selected ones from my cameras, onto my tablet and laptop, to process along the way. Then, when I get home, I can polish off what I wish, here, while moving the raw onto my local drives. I can move finished photos back into the cloud to have available as strikes my fancy, serves my needs. Given that the 2ndary home for the photos are on a NAS, those, ultimately, are available at my whims, too. Is this too much?

Smart Albums only working with Cloud sync is a showstopper for me; I need that capability in desktop Lightroom as well. I therefore rely on the Smart Collections feature in Lightroom Classic meeting the crucial requirement for me.

😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

Unfortunately collections, virtual copies,… only apply to your photos in the cloud. Local partition of LR doesn’t have these useful functionalities. And if you have a lot of photos, you can’t move them to the cloud. If Adobe wants its LR (non-classic) to become more popular, they need to find a solution… I don’t like cataloging my photos because of the valid reasons you covered. My solution is using Bridge plus ACR. It has its own challenges….

멋진 작품에 박수를 보냅니다.

The remove tool is so great for cleaning up pics. Sometime the generative remove is better.

Hi beautiful edit thank you, but there is a lot of the house missing from the reflection. Only the top of the house is reflected? Doesn’t seem to look quite right?

Prachtige uit leg .

Dank voor de uit leg

Excellent video.

Gelukkig nieuwjaar voor 2025, graag zou ik wat meer willen weten over zwart/wit fotografie. En verder geniet ik van elk filmpje die erg leerzaam zijn , groet uit Lage Zwaluwe,in Nederland.

Hi Lori. My question is about your photoshop panel on the right side. I’m wondering why yours looks different than mine. Is it because you are using a Mac or have you reworked the panel. It looks less complicated than mine. I love your video! I’m not very proficient with photoshop but you are excellent at presenting your techniques that I can easily follow along. Thanks again.

Also wondering if you plan on having a video or course on how to transition away from LRc to LR. I’ve been a classic user since before there was ever any other LR options. I never have loved the catalog system (still so confusing) and would love to switch but I’m honestly terrified of making a mistake. You make it look so easy.

Hi Lori. Happy New Year ! What a gorgeous sunrise and beautiful way to start 2025!

Happy New Year Lori🎉I so enjoy your videos and your teaching methods. Thanks much and I’m really looking forward to seeing you in 2025.

Nice work. I'll try.

Great video. Thank you!

I typically like sunrises at the beach when I’m doing ICM. Additionally, if you happen to be at a location where dogs are allowed you can get some very good abstract shots with their movements. I really like your winter tree images. Thank you for your educational videos.

Very interesting shots Lori. I have dabbled in ICM with mixed results. I particularly liked your results with the jiggle effect, such as the empty park bench at 5:26 (lower center). It looks like something Claude Monet might have painted. I have a question -- When the shutter speed is a fraction of a second, how do you normally sequence initiation of camera movement with pressing the shutter button? Do you move then shoot or simultaneously do both or.........? Thank you.

Happy nieuwjaar

Dank weer voor je fijne uitleg , en wens u een goed 2025

Thank you for another great tutorial, always very inspiring. I've been wanting to try frozen flower photography for a while now and you've offered some valuable advice.

I love watching you edit, Lori, so would love to see more like this please 🌸

This is a great edit. I’m going to get busy & try a few of the ideas you used. Thanks so much. Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year 🎉.

Thanks for unraveling a messy situation. I have had a kind of mixed approach necessated by the lack local storage options. 2025 roll on Thanks 😊

This was a great tutorial! Send like every video you watch anymore is LrC. Thank you for posting!

Merry Christmas 🎄 Thanks for sharing - I really love learning editing/playing techniques from you - I so appreciate your time & talent. I wish I could be as proficient as you are with editing❤

very nice thank u Merry Christmas

Thank you Lori 👏🏻👏🏻😊

Dank voor de fantastische uitleg , ga er zeker mee aan de slag.

Excellent tutorial, just what I needed in the transition from LRc to LR. I think your Lacie drive may be 10TB (terabytes) not 10GB (gigabytes). 10GB is a fraction of a single camera's SD card now 🙂

This is a brilliant tutorial. After watching this, I am very likely to move my workflow from LrC to LR.

Dank weer voor de interessante site .

Really helpful tutorial demonstration. And beautiful image! Thank you!!

Shutter speed?

Prachtige les , dank daar voor.

Thank you! Have a happy day❤💙💚

Thank you very much ❤💙💚

Thank you very much ❤💙💚

i am strongly considering switching to local LR instead of LRC tbh. The entire UI in Classic is so ridiculously outdated and... inefficient. all the module things and whatnot take up so much space on my screen, it is bloated with so much stuff i have no use for and... i mean just looking at your LR screen and you have filters and whatnot straight on top... in LR every time i want to filter stuff or do anything i need to click pull out menus or submenus and go back and forth and i cant stand it anymore. LR ui is so beautifully clean and efficient. also the more time passes, the less i enjoy catalogs tbh. its like a skin ontop of folders making everything more complex. if i want to quickly go to a folder and copy some photos over... i dont even know where they are because LRC manages the folders on its own. i need to go into LRC for everything. And when lets say your catalog gets corrupted... you are basically f**ed. It just feels like you have no control over your own files and you are depended on LRC for your files. Back in the day i used bridge with my own folder structures. i was easily able to move files around, or edit files directly or backup my entire folder. Everything is just that bit more complicated. want to delete some photos... guess what LRC only throws them out of the catalog and you re left with like thousands of accidental dead files somewhere in random folders instead of just clicking delete... and it actually means delete because its the file itself.

Nice images thanks for sharing these and the ideas.
