Recording: “Cloud Sync with Lightroom Classic”

I recently demonstrated some of the great ways that synchronizing photos to the cloud from Lightroom Classic can help streamline your workflow and add flexibility at the same time.

During the presentation I showed how easy it is to synchronize selected photos from Lightroom Classic to the cloud so they are available from virtually anywhere using the Lightroom mobile app or a web browser. I also demonstrated how changes you make to images that have been synchronized to the cloud are updated everywhere across all of your devices. In addition, I answered questions from those who attended the live online presentation.

The online presentation was hosted by B&H Photo, and you can view a recording of the full presentation here:
