Now, they’ve also introduced a new version of Lightroom which they’ve called “ Adobe Lightroom CC” which is essentially a web version of Lightroom. The Lightroom application that you’ve installed and have been using to process your photos on your Mac or Windows computer is still there – they renamed it, and improved a bunch of features (we’ll get to that in a minute). The desktop version of Lightroom, is now called Adobe Lightroom Classic CC. Now, with the recent update, they’ve changed things up a bit and made it even more confusing (as if it wasn’t confusing enough already). Already, having “ Photoshop” in the name was quite confusing to many users, but the general consensus was that people simply called it Adobe Lightroom CC.įor the purpose of this article, I’ll refrain from calling it “Adobe Photoshop Lightroom” because that’d just confuse things even more.

Previously, the desktop version of Lightroom that we’ve come to know and love (and hate sometimes), was called Adobe Photoshop Lightroom CC. Adobe is moving everything to their subscription-based Creative Cloud product.Īlright, the very first thing you will notice is the new naming of the Lightroom apps. Don’t wait for Lightroom 7 to come out with awesome updates, it’s not going to happen. Lightroom 6 is the last standalone version of Lightroom you can get (i.e.: buy it once, use forever).

So What’s New With Lightroom?įirst, let’s get this out of the way: Lightroom, as a standalone application, will not be updated anymore. I’m also happy to report that all of our premium Photoshop Actions work fine with this new version of Photoshop. They also pushed an updated version of Photoshop that includes more streamlined brush management, the very cool variable fonts feature, the curvature pen tool and much more. Of course, this recent Creative Cloud update included updates for other applications such as Illustrator, InDesign, Dreamweaver, and many others.

I wanted to share some thoughts, and address some of the concerns I’ve heard both via our own contact email and via various forums, blogs, and social media. They recently released quite a massive update – which includes significant updates to Lightroom and Photoshop. Every now and then, Adobe releases updates to their suite of applications.
