Lightroom Classic vs. Lightroom

Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Classic is the renamed version of the Lightroom application you have used in the past and it is optimised for desktop-focused workflows, including local storage of your photos in files and folders on your computer. The interface, photo import and organisation functionality and editing feature set are much the same as before. We are continuing to invest in Lightroom Classic.

Lightroom is the new cloud-based photo service that works across desktop, mobile and web. Lightroom Classic is the desktop-focused digital photography product.

If you run out of storage, your new photos will be saved only on the devices they came from. They’ll no longer be backed up to the cloud or synced across your devices and they won’t be automatically tagged for easy keyword search within Lightroom. The photos you have already backed up to the cloud will still be accessible on all your devices.

If you need more storage, you can upgrade a 20 GB plan to 1 TB or boost your total storage to 2 TB, 5 TB or 10 TB, starting at KD 3.400/mo per terabyte. To purchase more storage, call +44 203 0277 764. To upgrade your existing plan, sign in to your Adobe ID account (Plans & Products > Manage plan > Switch plan).
