The passage of 5 Lightroom-Lightroom CC & my library on 2 Macs?

Back story: I keep my photos Lightroom imported into a separate folder named Lightroom_Photos on an external drive. I create intelligent insights for everything that is imported. Currently, I use Lightroom 5 on OS X 10.8.5 on my iMac end 2012 and mid-2012 my MacBook Pro. I copy the catalog 5 Lightroom on my MacBook Pro and Smart Previews feature to view photos. On my iMac, I have access to the original files and do all my editing and save here (in my Lightroom_Photos folder).

I installed OS X 10.11 (El Capitan) on my iMac and do not want to update the OS on my MacBook Pro.

Question1: IF I turn to the Cloud of Lightroom (CC2105) version on my iMac, I always will be able to use smart previews in my LR catalog on my MacBook running Lightroom 5?

In short, the iMac will be a new operating system AND a new version of Lightroom. That will do for me or my files when you try to access it on an older OS and the old version of LR on my laptop?

Question2: If I decide I can keep is no longer the Cloud of LR version, my Lightroom Catalog will still be usable in LR 6 (assuming that I buy this update)?

These questions also apply to Photoshop... boy I am hating the software updates!

Thank you for your help.

Hi Ileneh,

No, you would not be able to access Lightroom 6 catalogue and intelligent previews catalog Lightroom 5 on Macbook iMac as the downgrade of the catalogue is not supported.

Once you install Lightroom CC on iMac, you'll get an option to upgrade your 5 Lightroom Catalog to CC version and it will keep the two catalogs intact (Lightroom 5 and CC).

You can keep two versions of Lightroom installed on your iMac, if you wish.

Yes, you will be able to access to the catalogue Lightroom CC in Lightroom 6 If you choose to upgrade to Lightroom 6 standalone.

Kind regards

Claes

  • CC in Lightroom on Windows 10 crashes during the passage of the library to develop.

    Everyone has a problem with Frost during the passage of the library to develop modules in Lightroom on Windows 10 CC?

    Hi mgmagney,

    This could be because of the graphics processor.

    Go to the Lightroom preferences > performance > uncheck 'use the graphics processor' > restart Lightroom, and then check out.

  • Re-installing Lightroom 5 after the passage of a new iMac

    I bought Lightroom 3 for PC; I have updated to Lightroom 5 PC online.  Now, I have an iMac and want to download it here.  How can I do?  I have the serial number of the two. I hope I don't have to buy the upgrade again.

    I believe that a purchase of Lightroom applies to both PC and Mac.  Have you tried to install on Mac?  The Mac version can be found via the following link:

    You need only the serial number of the version 3 to install/activate version 5.

  • Where is the destination in Import Lightroom 6 options?

    I don't know he is a crazy question, but where are the Destination Options in Lightroom 6 when importing?

    In previous versions of LR, I put my files to import my HD with a folder of the year/year_month/year_month_day involving Convention structure.  My imports will still according to this structure in LR6, but I want to change this and cannot for the life of me see how!

    There was formerly a tab Destination but no more!

    Help!

    First, you must click on COPY or MOVE (but not ADD)

    If the Destination does not appear on the right, and then you click the file tab in the drop-down menu that appears, select the Destination

  • How do you manage and sequence the source photos in Lightroom module book?

    I recently switched to Aperture and Lightroom CC 2015 for Mac and I am putting together a photobook of 200 + photos.

    I've grouped these 200 + pictures in 50 subfolders contained in the library module to reflect the planned sequence or grouping of photos (for example 50 photobook pages).  My question is: what is the best way for this folder structure be reflected or available in ledger?  I have to laboriously create a 'collection' to match each subfolder Library?  If I combine 50 records in a single collection, or see 'All the Photos' in the film, then I lose the file groups and it the film becomes difficult to manage.  Can I restrict or filter the photos in the film to be only in a certain Library subfolder?  Maybe create a keyword for each group of photos and manage this way?  The desired sequence correspond to chronological or order of file name.

    So any advice on how to sequence a photobook with 200 + photos (which are grouped into subfolders of the 50 library) would be very appreciated.  Thank you!

    Thanks for the quick response.  The best solution I have found so far is to drag and drop the folders in the library into Collections, creating new Collections with the same photos as each folder.  In the book Module, you can control and simplify the photos appear in the crowded film by using filters. In this way, I end up having a Collection for each page or a few pages in the photo book.

    It is not necessary to uninstall your current version first. In fact, it would probably be a good idea to leave it installed until you are certain you have everything works the way that you want with the new facility. When you install Lightroom CC 2015 it will prompt you to allow him to create a new copy of your catalog. You should allow this to happen. Then the new Lightroom should pick up right where you left it. Once you are sure that everything has been installed correctly and you no longer need the old version you can then uninstall it. Both versions are completely independent.

  • How to get the lightroom license 6 for the trial version of lightroom cc creative cloud

    Hello everyone,

    I'm new to this Forum. I recently installed the creative Version of lightroom via Cloud test and decided now by. But I would get the Standard 6 lightroom license. On the Adobe website, I'm always tied just to the cc in lightroom + photoshop offers associate . Is there an easy way to avoid the monthly subscription?

    I do not have Photoshop cc, my Version of elements is good enough for editing.

    Thanks for your help.

  • When I start the import of Fotos - Lightroom 6 down suddenly

    When I start the import of Fotos - Lightroom 6 down suddenly - I not changed what it is the victory of system 8.1 - ab since tonight I can't import Fotos - to work with the older Kataloges works - but when I put a new pic at the open library - lightroom breaks down

    I had to install Windows 10 - it still works!

  • I have problems with the standalone version of Lightroom 6.

    I have a problem with Lightroom 6 - so much trouble that I'm currently impossible to use.

    (1.), I bought the standalone version of Lightroom 6 - CC No. I bought the disc, not a download.

    (2) I installed and used for months without any problem.

    (3) when I clicked on the icon on the desktop to open it - about three weeks ago, I got a message that I could buy (1) or (2) try it for 30 days. Of course, I couldn't choose one of these options because two of them would require me to pay for the program, either immediately, or within 30 days, if I wanted to continue to use it. If I deleted this message, Lightroom would not open. So, I was locked out Lightroom even though I had already paid for it.

    (4) given that I got the disc, I decided to reinstall Lightroom. This allowed me to use Lightroom again. I've been using this new facility without problem for several weeks; However, when I clicked on the icon of the office tonight to open Lightroom, I got the same message again: buy it or agree to a 30 day trial. So, I'm locked again.

    (5) I decided to install again. I managed to install the program on the disk; However, when I tried to open Lightroom, I received the message (not the exact wording): "you have installed Lightroom on computers too ' or maybe it was ' you used this serial number for facilities too - something along those lines." (I can't raise the message again, or I'll give you the exact wording). So now I'm completely locked.

    (6) before these challenges, I got Lightroom installed on my main desktop and on a laptop that I used when I travel. That's two facilities, and I installed twice on my desktop computer to try to circumvent the problems described above. However, I carefully watched my installed programs and there seems to have only a single installation of Lightroom 6 - no step three.

    (8.) I would like any suggestions to fix this mess.

    Thank you.

    Roger

    Hi Roger,

    My apologies for the trouble you've had to go through.

    I've updated your records and you should be able to use your license now.

    When you receive the message about the trial or a 30 day program, you should be able to choose the "Software license" option and activate using your key in order to to use without getting to re-setup.
