Still Confused about which Lightroom to buy?
See the graphic below that I received from Adobe's marketing arm. I add some boxes and text to help explain. I think the problem stems from the poor name choices. But they are also confusing the issue with graphics like these. In point, note how the same application is shown differently on both sides:
Adobe Photoshop Lightroom CC is the same as Lightroom CC. Whew, it gives me a headache everytime I see this stuff from Adobe.
Note: Now Lightroom CC is just Lightroom. Lightroom Classic CC is now Lightroom Classic.

Finding Lost Folders or Images in Lightroom
Finding Lost Folders or Images in Lightroom
The issue is that the files are now on a different disk or have been moved on the original disk. So, Lightroom is confused about the “path” to those images.- On the top most folder that is showing the ? mark icon, do a RIGHT CLICK.
- Choose Find Missing Folder
- Navigate to the folder wherever it is and choose it.
- Lightroom will do the rest. It will update its database for all the images.

How to deal with Lightroom when Traveling
Lightroom Travel Catalogs
Assuming you have a travel disk and Lightroom installed on your laptop...
- Make sure both the iMac and MacBook have the current updated version of Lightroom Classic CC.
- Set your Lightroom preferences and Catalog Settings for each computer to be similar.
- On the laptop, create a new catalog named Travel or Africa or something else obvious. I would make sure the location for this is somewhere easy to find. There is nothing worse than getting confused about which catalog is which when you get home and try to merge things!
- On the laptop create a new folder hierarchy for the images you will be importing. I would make sure the location for this is somewhere easy to find.
- While on the the trip just import, edit, keyword, flag, star etc. as normal.
- At whatever interval on your trip you can manage, copy the entire catalog folder and the image folders to the backup disk. If there is room I make dated copies of these. Then you avoid problems if you have to grab your bags and go in the middle of a copy or something. When you have 2 or 3 copies you can delete the older ones to make room if you need it.
- Back at home, make sure you have copied the latest data.
- Attach your USB drive to the iMac.
- Launch Lr on the iMac and choose File Menu > Import from another catalog…
- Navigate to the USB drive and the catalog folder (not the images folder) and choose the actual travel catalog file.
- You will see a dialog box for making choices about the import.
- You should probably not un-check any of the folders in the list.
- But you should choose the “Copy new photos to new location and import”. This will bring everything to the iMac. When you make that choice, you’ll see the Choose button that will let you pick the folder on the iMac where the images should be copied.
- Then click Import and give it time to work.

Cloud Syncing on in Lightroom Classic CC
To Turn Cloud Syncing on in Lightroom Classic CC....
Click in the upper lefthand corner of the Lightroom application where your name appears. Of course you should have already signed into your Adobe Account.
Then click on the "Sync with Lightroom CC".
It looks like this when you have it turned on with PAUSE icon to stop syncing.
You can only sync to one Catalog. This usually isn't a problem. I have mine synced to my desktop computer and not to my laptop. If I have to change that for some reason, all the images will be removed from the cloud and the new choices will have to sync up.
To make your collection visible to others online...
Right Click on the collection and choose Lightroom CC Links. Then you can copy the URL link and share it.
To sync a Collection back to the CC version, click the the checkbox to the left and a lightning bolt icon will appear. The Jackson 2017-1209 Collection is synced. Note that my Jackson collection has a little note icon. That means it garnered comments from viewers. If the viewer has an Adobe ID, they can add comments to images.
Images from your Lightroom CC on your phone can sync to your Classic application as well. Note that the location for those files can be chosen. I have them going to my "Working" folder then organized by date.
