Thanks Piers. That 'gotcha' was also mentioned in Tim Grey's newsletter
today.
The panramas [sic] look fine. No doubt some pixel-peeping will reveal the
odd artefact here-and-there but they're good enough for me. (In fact
Jemimaville seems to have some strange banding (or telegraph wires?) in the
background trees at the right-hand end.)
I've been using a third-party app "Mosaic" as a way to sync my LR pictures
to my iThingies - it works fine, uses Google Drive cloud storage, but it
has a flat structure of the Smart Collection I have sync'd. I've seen in
Julianne Kost's demo that LRmobile will show the sub-collections in a
structured way.
I'm ok with my ISP upload speed now, having got BT Infinity a couple of
months back (40Mb/s down and 9Mb/s up). IIRC the pictures you upload to
the Adobe cloud ARE retained, and accessible from a web-browser.
cheers
Jez
