![]() ![]() That said, I did encounter one or two delayed syncs when I tweaked a photo in CC and then opened Classic, which doesn’t bode well. You could twiddle with photos on your smartphone in between shoots, for example, and have them synced and waiting for you when you get home to your PC. You can sync a Classic Collection with “Lightroom Mobile” and have those photos available to edit in CC, be that on the desktop, mobile or tablets. You can use Lightroom Classic in conjunction with the new CC app and get the best of both worlds. To be fair to Adobe, this isn’t an either/or scenario. Nothing like the vast array of export options you get with Classic. And once you’ve finished editing a photo and want to “export” it, well… your options are to save it to JPEG in one of three preset sizes. Adjustment brush presets such as dodge, burn, soften skin and teeth whitening are no more – you’re merely left to adjust the various exposure, highlights, whites and blacks sliders manually. The handy histogram revealing where highlights and shadows have been clipped is gone. Advanced controls such as split toning have gone AWOL. Lightroom CC’s editing tools aren’t a patch on those in Classic, either. Nothing is imported automatically – all you get is the pared-back selection of presets that comes with Lightroom CC.īuy now from Adobe Adobe Lightroom CC review: Editing tools If you’ve carefully curated a library of presets over the years, you’ll have to manually copy those over to Lightroom CC, too.

The key difference is Lightroom CC wants nothing to do with your local photo collection. It’s more akin to the mobile/tablet apps that have been on iOS and Android for some time than the full-blown desktop app, and that’s reflected it in its trimmed-back feature set. ![]() Lightroom CC is effectively a cloud version of Lightroom – with the desktop original now ominously rebranded Lightroom Classic CC. READ NEXT: The best photo-editing software Now we know why: Adobe has been working on a new app. Meaningful updates have been few and far between and performance has grown stodgy. Lightroom is practically a staple among photography enthusiasts and professionals, despite Adobe allowing the application to stagnate over the past few years. Having shoved its reluctant Creative Suite customers onto a monthly subscription plan, Adobe is now trying to do the same to photographers – by taking their photo collections hostage. Lightroom CC might prove to be the straw that broke the camel’s back. ![]()
