If you wanted to find just Photo B you might try searching for “San Jose” and “Costa Rica” but that won’t help you, because in Lightroom CC a multiple keyword search uses “or” not “and”. If you search for “San Jose” in Lightroom CC you’ll get both photos in the results. But the “San Joses” are not unique in any way. Photo B, with the second “San Jose” applied, would end up with the keywords “Places”, “Costa Rica”, and “San Jose”. The photos get all the keywords from the hierarchy, so Photo A, with the first “San Jose” applied, would end up with the keywords “Places”, “California”, and “San Jose”.

Picture a keyword hierarchy that looks like this: There is no keyword hierarchy in Lightroom CC, so your keyword list gets flattened. I know that my Lightroom Classic keyword tags won’t sync with Creative Cloud, but when I migrate, will they be converted to keyword tags in Lightroom CC? I want Creative Cloud to be my canonical place for all my photos, but given Lightroom CC’s stripped-down approach, I imagine I’ll still want to use Lightroom Classic for some things. When I eventually do migrate, what I’m aiming for is to get my entire collection of photos, all 335,731 of them, comprising about 4TB, onto Adobe’s Creative Cloud servers with as little disturbance to my workflow as possible.

In cases 2 and 3 above, I’ve configured Lightroom Classic to download the originals to a location of my choosing - that same big external drive.

I’ve known Ben since we were kids, and we’ve long had a mutual love of photography. In my last Lightroom post, I mentioned that my friend Benjamin Warde is a product manager on the Lightroom team.
