I think somewhere along the line I fell prey to a post on a KO forum that suggested turning "add photos from camera roll to LR on " and at the same time "turning off" the iCloud feature which I neglected to do. So that could and might possibly be the culprit, I will investigate that further. Under the "Import" tab in Lightroom settings I have "Auto Add From Camera Roll" "Photos" and "Videos" enabled. In regard to Lightroom, I have "Only Download Smart Previews" enabled. I do have the photos app photos going to iCloud with Optimize iPad Storage checked. I do tend to take quite a few photos with my iPhone XS, especially with location scouting and in use as a sort of sketch book for future image ideas. So just to clarify, when/if you take a photo with your "smartphone" the photos then go directly into Lightroom instead of the Photos app on the iPad? And then to Adobe Cloud. I will do some research into my usage of Photos app. I can definitely see, based on your description of the Photos app, where I might have some issues. It provides me with some good food for thought! I did clear the cache prior to transferring the data and apps from my old ipad Pro to my new iPad Pro yesterday. I stopped traveling with a MacBook more than 3 years ago and I have found that the iPad more than meets my requirements for traveling with much less weight.Ĭlick to expand.Thanks very much for your response. While on the road I cull my photos and sometimes start editing some of the photos from the trip using the iPad. They are then uploaded to Adobe Cloud and copied to my external hard drive attached to my iMac at home.

After that, I insert the sd card into an sd card reader plugged into my iPad and import them into Lightroom on my iPad Pro. Then I use iPad's Files to copy all files onto a Samsung T5 2TB drive for a second backup.

I first import all my photos from a day's shoot by inserting my sd card into a Gnarbox.

My workflow: I use my iPad while traveling. How can I find photos on my iPad that Lightroom might be storing locally on the iPad? Which makes me think some of my import photos are being stored "locally" on the iPad instead of being bumped up to the cloud. How much space should Lightroom take up on my iPad Pro (2nd gen)? My system's iPad Storage shows Lightroom occupying a healthy 316.45GG (of my 1TB iPad Pro).
