If you are uploading a large batch of images, it can take some time to transfer them all to the cloud, and for your other devices to refresh and for images to download for editing. Yes, the Lightroom CC-Lightroom online-Lightroom mobile system is seamless and efficient, but it is of course dependent on network speeds. 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.

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.
