For every professional photographer that doesn't need or want a major user interface upgrade, that just wants everything to work better, that just wants to keep shooting and do less editing with a speedy editor - this is the release for you. Thankfully, Photoshop CC is still Photoshop CC. This also has some amazing implications and features. The major difference is that everything with Lightroom CC is powered by and lives within the cloud. Meanwhile, Lightroom CC is a new Lightroom product that uses a completely new (but similar) user interface based on the original Lightroom. It has some nifty updates we'll get to soon.

That desktop application that you're so familiar with and that you've been calling, "Lightroom," for more than a decade - that is now called Lightroom Classic CC, not Lightroom CC.

There will be no further updates after this year to Lightroom 6. While Lightroom 6 will still be available for an unspecified amount of time, going forward, there will simply be two new subscription-only desktop versions: Lightroom Classic CC and Lightroom CC.
LIGHTROOM CC CLASSIC UPDATE
There will be a Lightroom 6.3 update that will provide Nikon D850 support (which is here now for Lightroom Classic CC, Lightroom CC, and Photoshop CC), but that's all that we can expect. But it'll make sense soon.įirst, Lightroom 6 will be the final standalone version of Lightroom. But the first thing we have to get out of the way is some clarification when it comes to the new Lightroom branding. We're going to take this announcement on an app-by-app basis. And Photoshop CC improvements help tie everything together no matter what you're using. Lightroom CC is now a completely new, 100-percent cloud-based product that works on any platform: desktop, mobile, and web. But there's nothing classic about it when it comes to its performance improvements. Going forward, the now-old desktop-run Lightroom CC is called Lightroom Classic CC. Adobe MAX is always a big time of the year for photographers, but this year's announcements and updates are the company's biggest since the introduction of Lightroom.
