Lightroom CC isn’t what we current Lightroom users will be using anymore. And Adobe has announced a whole new product, called Lightroom CC - let the head scratching commence.

If you are a veteran Lightroom user, the name of your program will change from Lightroom CC to Lightroom Classic CC. Taking all this into account, let me first speak to this head-scratching stuff, because I think once we get past that, there are some very cool things about these new releases, and for the future of Lightroom. We, the Disgruntled, fear change, and I’m most certainly included in that “we.” Change terrifies me. “How will I be affected? Do I have to use both? If not, which version should I use?” And of course, without fail, there will be a percentage of photographers asking, “What the hell was Adobe thinking?” However, they are indeed two distinctly different versions of Lightroom, and I’m sure that some photographers will be left scratching their heads wondering what this all means. Overall, I feel quite positive about the announcement of Lightroom’s new versions and what this means for the future of the program. As of yesterday, you have the option of getting either Lightroom Classic CC or Lightroom CC. Let me restate that … they announced the newest versions - that’s plural. Yesterday at Adobe Max in Las Vegas, Adobe announced the newest version of Lightroom.
