![]() ![]() Luckily for you there are plenty of alternatives out there that are subscription free. any version between 1-6 your software won’t stop working immediately but, Adobe will at some point stop updating it, meaning that at some point in time the Lightroom Standalone version won’t be able to read new camera formats.īut what if you do not want to move to the subscription model, what alternatives do you have? If you currently are on Lightroom Standalone e.g. Standalone users that upgrade will also get blacks and whites sliders added to local adjustments as well as getting a new feature called Dehaze, as well as not having to wait for a major release each time Adobe adds a new feature to Lightroom CC versions. Some other cool new things are the ability to apply luminosity and colour masks to the local adjustment brushes, gradient filters and the radial filters, making it much faster and easier to control where the adjustment is being applied to your photo both for standalone users and current CC subscribers. This, if you ask me, is something Adobe should have addressed many version ago on either Lightroom platform. They’ve also created a new embedded preview which speeds up previewing photos in the library module. Well, Adobe finally addressed some of the performance issues Lightroom users have been complaining about for a long time, like when switching between the library and the develop module. So with this now forced increase in subscription costs, what do we get in the with the new versions? You also need to take into considerations the longer you subscribe the larger the gap becomes, and we still don’t know how much Adobe will charge for extra storage. Lightroom CC is now a cloud online product only, you do not install it and you store your images on Adobe’s servers.įor someone that is in the business, the difference here is negligible, but for a casual shooter or enthusiast this can be the difference between a new lens, filters, tripod or other gear, heck it could even have paid a vacation to some destination you always wanted to go and shoot. ![]() So to summarise Lightroom Classic CC is the same Lightroom we have knows since it came out, this is the one we download and install on our computers. It also has a stripped down feature set and do not include all tools and features you would find in the Lightroom Classic CC version. The new Lightroom CC focuses on simpler editing, organisation and sharing your photos via social media. ![]() You no longer download and install the application on your computer, instead you access Lightroom from your phone, tablet or computer via an app or website and you store your photos in Adobe’s cloud. Lightroom CC on the other hand is now a new product from Adobe that focuses on cloud service only. In other words, you still store your photos locally on your own devices and download and install Lightroom Classic CC on your computer, nothing really changes with the exception of how you purchase it, more on that in the financial perspective Lightroom CC Lightroom Classic CC is the Lightroom version as we are all used to, wether you used it as standalone or downloaded and installed it via your Creative Cloud subscription on your computer. ![]() Lightroom CC was the same as Lightroom Standalone with the only difference being you paid a subscription and got access to new features directly as they were available, and did not have to wait for the next major standalone release.Īdobe have now killed off the Standalone version of Lightroom, meaning anyone that is currently using Lightroom Standalone and wishes to continue to use Lightroom will have to move to the Creative Cloud subscription model and choose between either Lightroom Classic CC or Lightroom CC, but what’s the difference? Lightroom Classic CC Then Adobe added a Creative Cloud version of Lightroom and named this Lightroom CC. Up until now we’ve had Lightroom version 1-6 also known as Lightroom Standalone. Let’s start with the apparent name change. In this article I will analyse the impact this may have for the hobbyist and enthusiast photographer out there as I feel most “reviews” focus mostly on the features of the app and looking at it from the professional photographers perspective, but there are may out there that are not professional and only use Lightroom for their personal use, so is it worth switching to the subscription model if you are currently using the standalone model and what the heck is the difference between Lightroom Classic CC and Lightroom CC!? What is the difference? In the aftermath of Adobe’s Lightroom announcement earlier in the week that left some frustrated, angry or just plain confused, have you given any thought of what you are going to do? Should you stay with Lightroom or will you jump ship now that it is only available via subscription? Or having trouble deciding on which Lightroom version you should choose? ![]()
