Overview of the Adobe Lightroom programs
Under the name Lightroom, Adobe now offers a whole range of applications that are used to develop, optimize and manage photos. In a rough overview, a distinction can be made between the following variants:
The original desktop variant Lightroom was developed up to and including version 6 and offered by Adobe for purchase without a subscription.
Adobe introduced version 7 of the program in October 2017. Since then, Lightroom has been part of the Adobe Creative Cloud and can be purchased as part of a subscription. At the same time, the software was given a new name: Adobe Lightroom Classic CC.
In the course of the transition from the purchase version Lightroom to the subscription version Lightroom Classic CC, a new program was also introduced: Lightroom CC. This addresses cloud-based and mobile working, for example by storing photos in cloud libraries. In addition, separate Lightroom mobile applicationsare available for the iPhone, iPad and Android devices.
The following Lightroom variants can therefore be identified:
- Lightroom 1 to 6
- Lightroom Classic CC (from version 7)
- Lightroom CC
- Lightroom mobile for iPhone
- Lightroom mobile for iPad
- Lightroom mobile for Android
