- [Tutor] Photos that you capture or import
into Lightroom on a mobile phone or tablet,
will automatically sync with Lightroom Classic
on your computer,
if the sync function has been turned on in Classic,
and you're signed into the same Creative Cloud account.
I've gone out and captured some images using
Lightroom on my phone to show you how this works.
I also temporarily paused the syncing here
in Lightroom classic,
we can see that the Cloud icon has the pause icon.
I'll click on the Cloud icon to start the syncing again.
Now Lightroom Classic is working like a vacuum.
It found those photos in the Cloud
that I captured with my phone,
and it's pulling them down to my computer.
They got downloaded to the external photos hard drive
because we set it up for that ahead of time.
Let's take a look in the Folders panel over here,
and there's a new folder; 06-013 is the date.
If I do a right click on this and say, Show Parent Folder,
we'll see that it was put into a 2020 folder,
and let's get the parent folder on that one as well.
So remember, I made a folder on the external hard drive
that said From Lightroom,
the images that I captured with my phone,
automatically got downloaded to that folder
on the external drive.
These photos are now in two locations.
They're still in the Cloud
and they're on the external hard drive.
Photos captured with Lightroom on your phone
count against your allotted Cloud Storage.
So if you want to remove them from the Cloud
to create more space, you have a couple of options.
From here in Lightroom classic,
you can go to the All Synced Photographs Collection
in the Library module,
And the new photos from my phone are the ones
at the end of the list here.
If I select a photo here and delete it,
it's going to delete it from the Cloud,
and it's telling us that here.
The message is telling us that it's going to remove it
from the Synced Collections or the Cloud,
and that's fine because we still have the photo here
in Lightroom Classic,
because it downloaded to the hard drive.
So if I select on the From Lightroom Folder,
we'll see that it's still here.
If you're using Lightroom on your phone
and you want to remove photos,
you can just simply delete them.
They'll be removed from the Cloud.
But as long as they've synced to Lightroom Classic,
they're going to be on the hard drive,
so you won't lose them.
I absolutely love using Lightroom on my phone
to capture photos.
With Lightroom on my phone and Lightroom Classic
on my computer,
my mobile photography is automatically
part of my master catalog.
There's no need to transfer images
and no hassle with importing.
The mobile photos and any edits that I made
on my phone are automatically synced here
from Lightroom Classic.
Let's select this image and go to the Develop Module,
and we'll see this image already has edits,
and those were made with my phone using Lightroom.
