Lightroom and Photos for Mac

I really like Photos for Mac as a place to store all my photos as it is pretty fast and it is a single place where I can store all my photo collection and browse it. I also like that it is a native app unlike Dropbox or Google Photos. But I also started working on importing photos to Lightroom to work on stuff there.

  • Import everything into the Photos app. This will be the main library of photos. This is where everything will be stored.
  • When I want to edit some pictures into Lightroom export them from Photos into Dropbox/Pictures directory.
  • Import these pictures into Lightroom.
  • Process and export the ones that you want to continue working with out of there.
