That said, you may find Lightroom CC more flexible if on another computer or mobile device, because your images are on the cloud and you can access them from anywhere. This should be sufficient for onscreen viewing / editing, as changes save on your parent desktop. Lightroom Classic readily synchronizes with Lightroom Web and Lightroom Mobile, but the images are lower res than in DNG smart preview mode. Of course, you could also store your images on the Adobe cloud, but these would only be low-res previews in particular collections in your image catalog. The default storage is on your computer or another drive. However, Lightroom Classic is only half as good as this. This can be a handy way to keep your current work, so another case of ‘best of both worlds’ perhaps. The format remains the same, regardless of how you access them, and you can store them locally too if you like. Your images are on the Adobe cloud with Lightroom CC, meaning they are theoretically as ‘safe as houses’. Here’s a summary of the most important practical differences on your desktop: 1.

This lets you carry on more-or-less as before, with the bonus of playing around with Lightroom CC. The Photography Plan $9.99 monthly includes Photoshop, both Lightroom versions, but only 20 GB storage on the cloud.Louise Myers helped us out with this simple summary: Before you jump for the cheaper Classic a month, let’s see what more you could get if you stretched your hand deeper into your pocket. Your choice when upgrading now is between the trend-setting new version of Lightroom CC on the cloud, and the more lightweight Lightroom Classic that resides on your computer. If you are not planning to make a jump to Capture One, you will now have to get on with the Adobe subscription and have two Lightrooms to choose from, since Adobe split the old Lightroom CC into two options. If you have been a loyal Adobe Lightroom user, you probably already know that Adobe discontinued perpetually licensed Lightroom 6 in 2017, and most likely support for it will eventually be dwindling too.
