Lightroom CC

Lightroom moves to the cloud as part of a radical overhaul

- Hollin Jones

Lightroom has been popular with pro photographers for many years thanks to its cataloguing and editing abilities. The desktop version, now called Lightroom Classic CC, is still available and little changed from the previous version. Co-existing alongside it, however, Adobe has released a new, cloud-focused app called Lightroom CC. Although it has many of the core features of the ‘old’ Lightroom, it’s been given the ‘prosumer’ treatment, with more advanced tools removed and more focus on automatically doing things for you.
