You can now simply drag and drop images on to this panel to add them to your Library. What if you’re at another computer and you want to add some images to your catalog? That’s easy – just click the Add button (the ‘plus’ symbol) in the top left corner of the screen to display the Add Photos panel. Lightroom online has another trick, and it’s a rather good one.

How to get Lightroom/Adobe Photography Plans.

You can also select and share Albums via a browser too, and even upload images to your library. What is less obvious, and what you may not even be aware of, is that you can browse your catalog in a web browser too, and carry out many organising and editing tasks in the browser window. The obvious advantage of the Lightroom Creative Cloud ecosystem is that you can access your library and edit images on mobile devices, not just your desktop computer.

How to synchronise photos with Lightroom Classic and Creative Cloud.

You can synchronise photos from Lightroom Classic, but only chosen Collections, not your whole library – and even then you can only sync lower-resolution Smart Previews. With Lightroom CC, the synchronisation is automatic. You can do this with either version of Lightroom, but Lightroom CC is built to do this from the ground up and stores your entire catalog online. If you’ve got Lightroom CC or Lightroom Classic you’ve got an Adobe Creative Cloud account, and this means you can synchronise photos between the Lightroom catalog on your computer, your Lightroom online web space and your mobile device.
