The new Lightroom CC now is designed to work with Lightroom on Mobile devices and will offer a seamless transition when users switch between Mobile and Desktop. Lightroom CC Sensei Search: Describe your image and Lightroom finds it. The Import Workflow in the new Lightroom CC has but a single option – choose to import to an existing Album or not. The idea behind the new Lightroom CC is that it is much more tightly integrated into working with Adobe’s Creative Cloud when compared to Lightroom Classic. This brings us today and Nimbus is now officially Lightroom CC and the program we have been calling Lightroom CC will now be known as Lightroom Classic.

Adobe then accidentally made the App available to some of its Creative Cloud users back in July 2017 – this meant that Adobe was still working on the project nearly a year later. Adobe announced they were engaged in developmental work on a Cloud-Based Imaging App during the 2016 Adobe Max conference in Las Vegas. The new version of Lightroom did not just spring out of thin air (or fall from Adobe’s Cloud in the sky). The new Lightroom CC simply offers an alternative streamlined workflow for users who want to store their full resolution image files in the Cloud.

The newer Lightoom CC (a Cloud Centric app) has NOT been designed to supersede or replace your existing workflow. For most professional and keen amateur photographers this will continue to be your application of choice. If you have been a Lightroom user for many years your desktop application will now, most likely, be called Lightroom Classic. Adobe are describing the difference as either ‘Cloud Centric’ or ‘Desktop Centric’. Photographers now have two choices when it comes to working with Lightroom to manage, edit and share their images – Lightroom CC or Lightroom Classic.
