If your concern is taking up HD space, get a bigger hard drive, clean up the one you have got, put some stuff on an external drive.

How do you define easy?Įach of these points could be answered at much greater length, and there are many nuances. If you leave Cloudy, there is an Adobe tool called Downloader which is intended to rescue all your photos just as Titanic had lifeboats. Yes, in that you use a Migrate menu, it then uploads all the photos to the cloud.No, it's somewhere between Cloudy and Classic Lightroom, not as dumbed down as the first but not as sophisticated as the latter (though I haven't used it for a year or two).

If you screw something up (eg set all the ratings to 5) you can't simply go back and restore yesterday's backup. Error free, yes, it's less-clunky, but it doesn't do very much other than adjust and is cloud-dependent. Alternatively, you can download individual images from Cloudy and import them into an unsynced Classic catalogue. Yes, but if you do so by syncing Classic you will use lots of disc space as it tries to download everything in the cloud.
