Newbie made setup errors
- After subscribing, I was so excited to get started that I messed up my setup
- I installed Lightroom rather than LR Classic
- I forgot to tell it to store images locally
- I spent several hours importuning Gigs of images
- After discovering error, I installed LR Classic
- Now I need to figure out how to tell LR Classic o store locally, and how to migrate my catalog, albums, and images from LR to LR Classic
- Any advice on all this will be greatly appreciated!

I wish I could help you out but unfortunately, the only thing I want to share is that I completely understand how this could happen. Everytime I want to set up LR on a new machine I install Lightroom and then remember that Adobe changed the naming out of reasons not known to me. I wish it wouldn't be that easy to confuse the two...
Hope you find a fast solution!

However, if for some reason you no longer have those original source files on your computer system or you've done loads of image editing in LR/Cloudy that you'd prefer not to have to redo in LR/Classic then you should be able to just turn on sync in LR/Classic (assuming both apps are hooked to your same Adobe ID). Once you do this, all the original full image files from LR/Cloudy will come down to LR/Classic. However, you will lose any keywording you did in LR/Cloudy and you will also lose your album structure from Cloudy - all images will be in one folder. At least that is my understanding of how it should work.
