Has there been any resolutions here for this awesome issue? My story is not much different. I was in the middle of syncing a collection to Lightroom on my ipad to be able to edit while traveling. IN the middle of the transfer my darling macbook pro died. just black screen and done. While waiting for a replacment i edited the 65 or so phots that made it over to the lightroom on my ipad. Not great but not bad work was done. Then i got a refurb quick deal on a 2017 macbook pro. restored all my goods and went right to work to finish a wedding from the summer.. killing me slowly. mind you im still getting the hang of the whole syncing between lightrooms thing. so once i managed to move ALL my synced photos from lightroom (on acccident) i found the folder under "from lightroom" with my edited images. however they are jpegs and not synced up with my existing collection. i have read this thread many times and tried all the tricks. still no edits. i have been begrudgiingly been copy settings in groups and pasting to the colletion. i probalby could just share the jpgs with the bride and stop being so ocd about it but consistency is hard to break. any advise is welcome. I think im screwed because i edited the images in lightroom but never synced the whole album over? so i feel like they are on 2 playing fields but that shouldnt be right. aye.
