Firstly apologies for posting what may seem like a routinely answered question, but I'm having real issues getting to grips with this.
I use an old stand alone version of LR (v6) on my desktop PC.
For quite a long time now, I have struggled to keep pace with the editing of my images. The desire to do so is there but the discipline doesn't seem to be! Part of it is also that I am so far behind with the editing of my images that I am overwhelmed by it all.
In my mind, I have this notion that being able to sort/edit on a mobile device (while sitting on the sofa etc) would re-ignite my enthusiasm, especially as I always seem to have my (old) Ipad near to hand. Seems to be a lot less hassle to turn on the Ipad & edit a few photos rather than trudge upstairs, turn on the PC, etc. My Ipad is old, won't upgrade to the latest IOS and needs replacing. I've thought about a new Ipad Pro.
Before splashing any cash, I really do need to get to grips with the workflow. I am not a Cloud user and so my first thought is "how do I sync my Lightroom catalogue"? Is it correct that you cannot sync LR locally? If I decided to go with just an Ipad, presumably you can't store the LR catalogue there?
I guess my other options are a Macbook of Windows laptop. Guess this would resolve the sync issue, but they're different beasts to the Ipad Pro.
I realise that there is recent forum post about LR sync but didn't want to jump on that - hence this post.
Thanks in advance for any words of wisdom.
