Long time LRC user and recent LR convert....Lots of problems w/ synching between the two...Question: How do you move pics created in LR (say from iPad) onto my LRC (and thus my PC w/ a 4 media back up system: PC/Ext HD/NAS/AWS Glacier)? Move the collection to a folder? Copy it to a folder? Use the NEW Adobe LR Downloader? What does each step do w/ regards to creating duplicates (and are they full image (CR2)-RAW? W/ accompanying side care file of edits? (Thus 2 file) or Previews?)

Great video. What's your advice on using multiple drives. I've just got a r6 mk2 and the amount of space I'm using now is crazy. Already running out from my 1tb hdd.

[@lightroommark]

You can use multiple drives, using smart previews they don't need to be connected at the same time, or go for a large USB drive - amzn.to/3Q5tSu1

Ooh perfect site as still getting my head around LRc🤨subscribed & binging your videos, you are quite clear which I like.

Ha! I use 2 Fuji 102 mp and a 50r medium formats. Joeg plus raw is about 200mb each. My tiffs are 700mb!!

Thanks for this Mark. A question: When you’re in a Collection simply selecting an image will show details including the name of the folder it’s in. Clicking that takes you straight to the folder - easy. But what of the reverse? I’d like to be able to select and image (from a Collection or a Folder) and then see all the collections that it is in. Is this possible and, if it is, how do you do it?

[@lightroommark]

It's exactly the same Peter, in the folder structure, right-click on the active image and from the drop-down menu, you'll see "Go to folder in library", or underneath this " Go to collection", and you'll have a hierarchical structure with all the collections this image is in - just click on the collection you wish to see the image is in if more than one.

Thanks @@lightroommark I though there must be a way - I just didn't' see that it does exactly what I wanted.
