What\u2019s in a name?<\/h2>\n<p>Long-term users and beginners alike may be confused about their Lightroom options. Lightroom now exists in two main forms: Classic and CC. Lightroom Classic (previously LR CC) is the same app many LR users have been enjoying for years. By contrast, the new LR CC departs from the traditional method of storing photos on a local drive. Instead, original photos are uploaded to online cloud storage so they can be accessed, edited and synced across your desktop, tablet and phone.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>2. Picking a plan<\/h2>\n<p>Adobe offers three Lightroom and\/or Photoshop plans. At $9.99 a month, the Photography Plan gets you both versions of Lightroom \u2013 Classic vs CC \u2013 plus Photoshop CC. However this only comes with 20GB of cloud storage, which is unlikely to be enough if you want to embrace the LR CC workflow fully. The second option, which is also $9.99 a month, gets you LR CC with a healthy 1TB cloud storage, but no Photoshop CC or LR Classic. Alternatively, you can get all three apps plus the 1TB cloud storage for $19.99 a month.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-123181\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Lightroom-CC-develop.jpg\" alt=\"Lightroom CC develop\" width=\"1000\" height=\"605\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2018\/11\/Lightroom-CC-develop.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2018\/11\/Lightroom-CC-develop.jpg?resize=300,182 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2018\/11\/Lightroom-CC-develop.jpg?resize=630,381 630w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2018\/11\/Lightroom-CC-develop.jpg?resize=900,545 900w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2018\/11\/Lightroom-CC-develop.jpg?resize=562,340 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-123181\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Lightroom-CC-develop.jpg\" alt=\"Lightroom CC develop\" width=\"1000\" height=\"605\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2018\/11\/Lightroom-CC-develop.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2018\/11\/Lightroom-CC-develop.jpg?resize=300,182 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2018\/11\/Lightroom-CC-develop.jpg?resize=630,381 630w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2018\/11\/Lightroom-CC-develop.jpg?resize=900,545 900w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2018\/11\/Lightroom-CC-develop.jpg?resize=562,340 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\n<h2>3. Important similarities<\/h2>\n<p>Both versions share a range of useful features. The Develop controls are mostly the same: there are near-identical tonal sliders, selective adjustments, tone curve, split toning, HSL controls, black &amp; white tools, presets, profiles, spot removal and more. Both also let you organise photos with flags and stars. However there are fundamental differences. The big question is, which version is right for you?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>4. Cloud or local storage?<\/h2>\n<p>Do you want to store all your photos on the cloud or locally on a hard drive? This decision goes to the heart of the Classic vs CC debate. The cloud offers ease of use across devices and is arguably safer than local storage (unless you\u2019ve adopted a rigorous backup routine). But even with Adobe\u2019s 1TB of cloud storage, space will be more limited on the cloud and uploading photos may take time.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>5. Integration with mobile<\/h2>\n<p>LR CC has been designed to work seamlessly across all your devices. All changes sync and update, so you can begin editing on your desktop, then switch to your tablet or phone \u2013 and everything is synced. For those who edit on the go, the seamless workflow offered by CC is the better option.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-123183\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Lightroom-CC-import.jpg\" alt=\"Lightroom CC import\" width=\"1000\" height=\"632\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2018\/11\/Lightroom-CC-import.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2018\/11\/Lightroom-CC-import.jpg?resize=300,190 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2018\/11\/Lightroom-CC-import.jpg?resize=630,398 630w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2018\/11\/Lightroom-CC-import.jpg?resize=900,569 900w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2018\/11\/Lightroom-CC-import.jpg?resize=562,355 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-123187\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Lightroom-Classic-import.jpg\" alt=\"Lightroom Classic import\" width=\"1000\" height=\"547\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2018\/11\/Lightroom-Classic-import.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2018\/11\/Lightroom-Classic-import.jpg?resize=300,164 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2018\/11\/Lightroom-Classic-import.jpg?resize=630,345 630w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2018\/11\/Lightroom-Classic-import.jpg?resize=900,492 900w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2018\/11\/Lightroom-Classic-import.jpg?resize=562,307 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\n<h2>6. Import dialog<\/h2>\n<p>The Import dialog is one of the cherished features of LR Classic (so much so that when Adobe tried to \u2018simplify\u2019 it a couple of years ago the uproar caused an immediate U-turn). Among the comprehensive options, you can apply presets on import, convert to DNG, add keywords, create collections and much more. By contrast, other than an \u2018Add to an album\u2019 option the CC import dialog is completely bare.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>7. Albums or Collections?<\/h2>\n<p>Experienced LR Classic users will be aware of the power of Collections. They let you create groups and categories of images without needing to shift around files or make copies. LR CC doesn\u2019t have Collections, but it does have Albums, which work in the same way. However LR Classic\u2019s Collections are more advanced, with options to create Smart Collections based on parameters like camera data or star ratings.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-123195\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Lightroom-search.jpg\" alt=\"Lightroom search\" width=\"1000\" height=\"617\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2018\/11\/Lightroom-search.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2018\/11\/Lightroom-search.jpg?resize=300,185 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2018\/11\/Lightroom-search.jpg?resize=630,389 630w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2018\/11\/Lightroom-search.jpg?resize=900,555 900w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2018\/11\/Lightroom-search.jpg?resize=562,347 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/h2>\n<h2>8. Clever searches<\/h2>\n<p>One of the stand-out features in LR CC that isn\u2019t on offer in LR Classic is the Search bar. As you\u2019d expect, this lets you search your image library. But the clever thing is that it can recognise subjects and types of scene \u2013 like the search for trees here \u2013 even if there are no keywords or tags attached to the images. Powered by machine learning, this is the future of image cataloguing \u2013 and great news for those who hate keywording.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>9. Dual monitor support<\/h2>\n<p>Using dual monitors is essential to many photographers. It means we can place all our panels and tools on our secondary screen, leaving our main display free to display the image as large as possible. Unfortunately, it\u2019s only an option with LR Classic \u2013 LR CC\u2019s single window interface doesn\u2019t work across dual monitor set-ups.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>10. Slider locations<\/h2>\n<p>Many of the tools and settings found in LR Classic (and Photoshop\u2019s Camera Raw plugin) are also present in LR CC, although in some cases they are grouped together differently. For example, the sliders found within the Classic Basic Panel are laid out in terms of Light, which includes Exposure, Shadows, Highlights, and then in terms of Color, which includes white balance and saturation.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_123196&quot;  class=\"c-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1620px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-123196 size-full\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Lightroom-virtual-copies.jpg\" alt=\"Lightroom virtual copies\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2018\/11\/Lightroom-virtual-copies.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2018\/11\/Lightroom-virtual-copies.jpg?resize=300,169 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2018\/11\/Lightroom-virtual-copies.jpg?resize=630,354 630w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2018\/11\/Lightroom-virtual-copies.jpg?resize=1536,864 1536w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2018\/11\/Lightroom-virtual-copies.jpg?resize=1240,698 1240w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2018\/11\/Lightroom-virtual-copies.jpg?resize=900,506 900w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2018\/11\/Lightroom-virtual-copies.jpg?resize=562,316 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">LR Classic enables you to create virtual copies that won&#8217;t take up additional space on your hard drive<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<h2>11. Workflow tricks<\/h2>\n<p>Lightroom edits images by changing their appearance within the program rather than altering the pixels in an open-edit-save workflow that Photoshop employs. As such, the approach brings several workflow benefits such as Virtual Copies, which let you make several versions of an image without creating memory- sapping copies on your drive. It\u2019s another useful workflow feature that isn\u2019t on offer in LR CC.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>12. History panel<\/h2>\n<p>Found to the left side of LR Classic\u2019s Develop Module, the History panel remembers every single edit you make to an image, so it\u2019s useful if you need to retrace your steps or restore a previous version of your image. LR CC lacks this helpful feature.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>13. How do they sync?<\/h2>\n<p>If you adopt the LR CC cloud-based workflow then your original photos are stored in the cloud and any edits are synced to your library instantly. LR Classic works differently \u2013 you can still edit synced photos on mobile devices using LR Mobile, but rather than the originals you work on Smart Previews, which are then synced back to your main image library the next time you open LR Classic on your desktop.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>14. Syncing in LR Classic<\/h2>\n<p>With Classic, you have to manually choose which collections you\u2019d like to sync by clicking the double arrow sync icon to the left of the collection within the Collections panel. When using LR CC all images are synced automatically across your devices for a seamless workflow. As such, LR CC\u2019s synced workflow is much slicker.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-123194\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Lightroom-range-masking.jpg\" alt=\"Lightroom range masking\" width=\"1000\" height=\"551\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2018\/11\/Lightroom-range-masking.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2018\/11\/Lightroom-range-masking.jpg?resize=300,165 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2018\/11\/Lightroom-range-masking.jpg?resize=630,347 630w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2018\/11\/Lightroom-range-masking.jpg?resize=900,496 900w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2018\/11\/Lightroom-range-masking.jpg?resize=562,310 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\n<h2>15. Range Masking<\/h2>\n<p>One of the best recent additions in LR Classic are the Range Mask controls. These let you create precise local adjustments by zeroing in on parts of an image based on their tonal or colour values, making it easy to isolate and adjust objects or areas of a photo in seconds. Unfortunately the feature has yet to make it into LR CC.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>16. Classic modules<\/h2>\n<p>The LR CC interface is akin to a mixture of LR Classic\u2019s Library and Develop Modules (the two most-used modules), but none of the other modules get a look in. So if you like to geotag photos, create photobooks, slideshows and print, you still need to use Classic.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-123190\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Lightroom-face-recognition.jpg\" alt=\"Lightroom face recognition\" width=\"1000\" height=\"626\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2018\/11\/Lightroom-face-recognition.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2018\/11\/Lightroom-face-recognition.jpg?resize=300,188 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2018\/11\/Lightroom-face-recognition.jpg?resize=630,394 630w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2018\/11\/Lightroom-face-recognition.jpg?resize=900,563 900w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2018\/11\/Lightroom-face-recognition.jpg?resize=562,352 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\n<h2>17. Face recognition<\/h2>\n<p>LR Classic can\u2019t match CC\u2019s intelligent search bar, but it does offer one clever library-searching benefit that CC lacks: facial recognition. This works by searching your image library for similar faces, letting you quickly group photos on the basis of who appears in them. Click the face icon in the Library Module to switch it on, then start naming faces to begin compiling.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>18. HDRs and panoramas<\/h2>\n<p>Creating HDRs or panoramas in Lightroom Classic is quick and easy with the Merge controls found under the Photo menu. Simply choose a set of photos, start the command, work through the simple options, and at the end, Lightroom creates a detail-rich DNG file of the HDR or panoramic image. Unfortunately, both features are not on offer in Lightroom CC.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>19. Export options<\/h2>\n<p>Like almost everything in LR CC, the Export options are very minimal: you can either save as a JPEG or as \u2018original + settings\u2019. There\u2019s no option to export as a TIFF or PSD, but you\u2019ll find these in LR Classic\u2019s more advanced Export dialog. With Classic, you can also set up export presets.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Classic vs CC: verdict<\/h2>\n<p>For organising an image library, LR Classic wins hands down. Besides the Albums feature, LR CC offers minimal control and you can\u2019t even rename your images; however CC does have its amazing Search bar. When it comes to editing images, both Classic and CC are equally good: Classic offers more advanced workflow options, but CC is slicker, and you can edit video. Of course, CC is designed for a different audience to those of us who\u2019ve been using Lightroom for years. The features that aren\u2019t there, aren\u2019t there for a reason \u2013 things like Smart Collections, Import options, Range Masking, Soft Proofing, which are tools that the casual user doesn\u2019t need. As such, for professional and advanced photographers and those familiar with Lightroom already, Classic is still the best choice. For beginners, smartphone-shooters, casual enthusiasts and anyone who wants to edit on-the-go, CC is the friendlier, slicker option.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>James Paterons is as skilled a photo editor as he is a photographer.
