![]() It’s easier if you pause syncing until you finish reorganizing. If you don’t do this, in step 5 you will end up having to manually track down photos in Lr and remove them. Hit the cloud icon again and click Pause syncing. OK, now we are ready to start migrating things out of the cloud. Pause syncing in the new Classic catalog once everything is downloaded Just leave your computer running and come back in a few hours (or days). This step might take a while if you have a lot of photos in the cloud. ![]() Yes, this creates duplicates (unless for some reason you don’t have your original photos stored on your hard drive already), but we are going to fix this in step 6. Lr will now force a download of everything that is in your cloud storage onto your local drive (in the location you have specified above). Wait until everything downloads from your Lightroom cloud storage to your local machine The synced photos location that you set in Step 1 will also show up in the Folders pane. The photos that are synchronized with Lr will appear in the Collections pane of your library, and under All Synced Photographs in the Catalog pane. You can also connect an existing LrC catalog to Lr.

Create a Classic catalog to sync with your Lightroom catalog Click the cloud in the top right of Lr to see how much storage your catalog is using in the cloud: this is how much space you’ll need on your local machine to migrate things out of Lr. I’ll refer to Lightroom as Lr and Lightroom Classic as LrC for the rest of this walk-through.īefore you do this process, you will need enough clear hard drive space for your Lr catalog to fit on (temporarily, see step 4). In this article I am going to dive deep into each of the steps, so that you can rescue your bloated Lightroom catalog!
