That was my thought Jan, I have now downloaded the Lightroom 'lite' onto my MBP. I have uploaded 5Gb of images to the Adobe servers. Took a little while despite being on a 200Mb/sec fibre link because the upload is limited to 12Mb/sec.
I am beginning to think the search facility in the new Lightroom 'lite' isn't so daft as some people make out. It found bridge, sea, Louise, boy, girl, water, sea in a number of other descriptive words from about 900 images almost instantly straight after completing the upload.
OK, it didn't get them all right, but the correct offerings came first, followed by the less correct offerings with the junk selections last.
I have to admit I haven't been a great fan of keyboarding because of the work involved creating them. Despite that, probably 80% of my main images are key-worded. Far more useful to me are names of faces and GPS locations because I can usually find any image I need from the date (year) and location.
I accept all the practical issues with uploading vast numbers of massive very high resolution images but with my modest D3 images it's not too bad. I don't plan to rent the optional 1Tb extra storage, when I have the images on my Mac Pro desktop, I will probably delete the bulk of the images from the Adobe servers.
Up to now It's working OK.
I want to experiment with the new selective tools in Lightroom Classic next. I have some challenging night time images taken with the 16mm fisheye with a very wide exposure range, I have manually bracketed up to five exposures of most shots. I think I may have to erase some blown out areas of the longer exposures to reduce fogging.
