![]() There is now another option, and that is to get Lightroom CC and 1TB of storage for $10 a month, but you won’t get access to Lightroom Classic or Photoshop. (And if you want a step by step guide to using Lightroom Classic, check out Launch Into Lightroom as that walks you through the entire process, step by step!) This is also your best option if you have a slow or unreliable internet connection, or you don’t want to keep your photos on the cloud and continually having to pay for storage. If you already have your image files stored on the desktop / external hard drive, and that is what you want to continue doing, then Lightroom Classic is for you.Īlso if you want to have access to a much wider set of features, for example, things like:Ĭreating Photobooks, Slideshows and Prints.Įssentially, if you are a professional photographer, or a very keen hobbyists who wants pro level features, then Lightroom Classic is likely to be for you. ![]() (Depending on when you read this blog post, that may not be available anymore) However, since I know that there are many of you that are totally anti-subscription, you can still buy it direct from Adobe and from Amazon. So, all in all, I strongly recommend that you don’t purchase Lightroom 6, even though it seems tempting to purchase it before you are forced down the route of subscribing. What this means in practice is that although you can still buy it, it’s not the best idea to do it.įirst of all, if you buy a new camera model that has just been released, after 2017 you won’t even be able to upload your photos to Lightroom, as it won’t be able to read the RAW files.Īlso, if there is an update to your computer operating system, and that causes a bug in Lightroom, then you won’t get that fixed either.įinally, you won’t get any of the new features that get rolled out in the subscription model. It will no longer be supported by Adobe after the end of 2017, and no new versions will be released as a standalone product. Lightroom 6 is a dying product basically. This has really been created to serve the needs of those who work more remotely, in different locations, or those who want a completely cloud based workflow, or whp don’t need the more robust features of Lightroom Classic. It also allows you to edit your photos, but doesn’t have all the same features of the classic version, but it is still quite powerful. To access your photos, and Lightroom, you just log in from whatever computer you are using. In this version, everything is synced to the cloud - so all your images are stored in the cloud, and you can access them from any mobile device: for example your computer, your phone, your iPad and your Android.

This “Classic” version of Lightroom has been designed for you to work from a desktop. The main difference is in an improvement in performance, plus one or two new editing features such as a new Auto Mask feature. ![]() To begin with, the Lightroom CC 2015 you got as part of the subscription model was the same as Lightroom 6, but over time, Adobe added new features to the subscription version of Lightroom, but DIDN’T add them to Lightroom 6.Īdobe just released a major update to LIghtroom CC 2015, and in turn, have changed the name to Lightroom Classic 7.0. This was originally simply called Lightroom CC 2015, but they have just re branded this as Lightroom Classic 7.0. This is the Lightroom that we are all use and love! Lightroom Classic 7.0 (Formerly known as Lightroom CC 2015)įor the last few years you have also been able to get your hands on Lightroom as part of Adobe’s Creative Cloud subscription model. This download version is being phased out (more on that in a bit) but currently still available, at least until the end of 2017. (earlier versions are Lightroom 5, then 4, etc) The latest version of this is Lightroom 6. ![]() Lightroom 6įor the last few years you have been able to purchase Lightroom as a standalone product, that you simply pay a one off fee for, and download to your computer.
