While you’re importing and editing a shoot in Lightroom Classic, just temporarily turn Syncing off. When you have syncing on moving images to your Lightroom (mobile), it eats up resources that slow Lightroom down, so while you’re editing, just temporarily pause the syncing. Then, when you’re done editing (or not using Lightroom at all), turn syncing back on and let it handle all that stuff while it’s idle. To pause syncing: Click on the Cloud icon up in the top right corner of the screen and a pop-down menu will appear (seen above). Click on the “Pause Syncing” button (shown circled here in red). That’s it. Temporarily turn it off now, and then head back there to turn it on again later when...

Photo By Randy Traynor It’s not every day you get to camp on a beach in the shadow of a 200-foot high, 2-mile-long glacier. In 2018, I called this area at Nellie Juan Glacier “home” for a week as I spent time exploring the glacier and wilderness of Prince William Sound with National Forest Service rangers as an artist-in-residence for their “Voices of the Wilderness” program. Summertime in Alaska is home to the midnight sun, and for this Florida boy, what an amazing treat it was having 24 hours of sunlight. Each night, the sun would skim the horizon only to rise again at about 3 a.m. It was a photographer’s dream to have full light in the middle of the...

All Photos in Lr for desktop.All Synced Photographs in LrC. If you ever find yourself in that situation the first place to look is if sync is paused in either application.
