I always shoot with 2 devices - Sony 6500 w/Hasselblad 18-210 lens and the iPhone 14 Pro Max (my just in case camera). I am beginning to see a trend where 1/3 of the photos from a shoot I decide to edit were taken with the phone. However, I feel like a juggler at times putting the phone in my pocket to shoot with the Sony or sticking the Sony under my arm to take a second shot with they of you phone.
My options are (just being funny here to get to my main point #4)
1. use a shoulder strap on the Sony so it's at the ready and won't drop
2. use only the Sony
3. use only the phone -or-
4. continue to use a combo (strap and a phone 'rig' like the Pro Grip)

Whew ... so I am interested if any UHH folks have used the ProGrip and can you share your thoughts

Everyone - thanks for sharing
My takeaways (as best I understand from feedback):
.. most are not sure if I can or cannot delete XMP files
.. appears few if any worry about this and don't save the XMP files along with the edited RAW
.. I don't intend to abandon Adobe software for another editor
.. One process I can implement (if I'm really am concerned) is either a) quarterly export star-rated 4 & 5 post-processed RAW images as tiff images to a separate drive -or- as I complete my raw edits - save the original RAW (with the edits applied i.e. before I export as a JPEG for posting and sharing) as a tiff.

I have under Catalog Settings> Metadata > Automatically Write Changes into XMP.
I noticed recently outside of Lightroom (using Finder on Mac) that XMP files exist in the JPEG folders I export RAW images to. After posting the JPEG images on my website, I typically drag the folder to it's final location on my hard drive.
Questions:
1. where can I see the XMP files are with the RAW images
2. I decided to have XMP files written in case I ever leave Lightroom or they go belly up, I assume other editing programs would be able to view/see the changes I made to the RAW and can recreate - yes?
3. Can I delete those XMP files in the JPEG folder that appear to remain
4. Do UHH members typically set to write XMP sidecar files

I vote Time Machine
I also vote FreeFileSync (both free and donation versions) - I use for monthly extra backup of photos

As always - Chg-Canon offers sound suggestions. This interested me ...
Background: I added a keyword 'Zorro' to my exported photo of a historic building I shot in Florida. No other 'Zorro' word exists in the folder, subfolder, image etc. The photographs were previously export as jpegs to a folder on my Mac desktop named 'Trip 2023-0212' and the file name is Shephards_Mill-DCS00070.jpg
Search: Slected desktop and search Zorro - image found in a second

Export 20, and place onto the drive, and open with the applicable File Manager. See what you can search / filter and how the process works.

I currently keep a copy of all photos I exported as Jpegs (in addition to the RAW originals and original Jpegs).
Of course I can reduce storage space by simply re-exporting the edited original image (Lightroom Classic) should I need to share again, post or whatever. And storage is cheap
I am interested in what members practices are since I starting to feel that I am adding an additional level of complexity by saving the Jpegs which then have to be imported into Lr, add keywords, create duplicate folders and manage all that. Maybe I am best to 'just' maintain the originals and fully utilize Collections.
Thoughts?

Does anyone use or know of a software program (Mac) that will find and delete duplicate photos.

I have used Teekesselchen for some time. It doesn't delete images ... it uses criteria you set and searches a folder or folders to find duplicates. Once found, the keyword 'duplicate' is applied to those images and places those images in an auto-generated duplicates Collection. You then examine and decide 'dupe or keep'.

Why would you even use a Windows PC after the Mac?? Once you go Mac, you never go back!
Seconded!

One option - transfer iPhone pics from the Camera Roll to Lr Mobile and auto-sync to Lr Album (desktop)
