P: Lightroom Desktop: Ability to print

We really need a "convenient" way to print.  Some of us still like to create prints to hang on a wall.  While I know the printing is still available in "classic", to be able to move forward with Adode, an integrated print function needs to be added to Lightroom CC.

Why don't you give us either the list of priorities (so we can see how long we have to wait for printing) or a date by which Adobe will implement printing?

You are right. 

Ask them to stop paying marketing fee for useless name changing.
They will have time money and ressources to use native API to add such a function. Serious :)))

OK see you

Everything in life requires prioritization. I do support the request to add print and also to sync properly with Classic, but there's a lot of very valid requests and Adobe has to prioritize those requests. They may not prioritize the way you would like them to, but there's no conspiracy to it. There's just a finite amount of resources and a lot of things to do.

When I say "Your asset are captive" it is some kind of rhetoric.

BTW, can you explain why Adobe is not f***g capable to implement such a basic request (printing)?
Is it because everything is done to push you to let your asset intos closed cloud.
Maybe they are afraid people print and leave (?). Lol

Why do you think keyword are not sync between Mobile and classic. It is intentional to avoid people to use mobile to fetch tags and recover it using classic.

So yes, your asset are not captive. But you need to pay every month to develop. As a result your asset and development are virtually captive.

Thanks, some people are not blind and does not need Adobe to live.

I can use C1pro too.

> your assets are captive in "adobe's cloud"

No they're not. You can download them to a computer for a year after cancelling, either using the desktop app or the separate downloader tool, and you can keep a copy on your local computer storage while your subscription is active too.

If you prefer to use another tool, that's absolutely fine, but it's not fair to spread misinformation.

Do not forget  :
1) your assets are captive in "adobe's cloud". Your asset is adobe shareholding. 
2) Adobe creates. Adobe does not listen their customer. 

ON1 Raw will present sync capability starting 2020 with real open cloud...

Fingers crossed this eventually gets sorted... It is one of the only things stopping me from going to the cloud and leaving the desktop lightroom behind.... oh and the book module....

Please...

You're right, Adobe does not live in apple centric system. But because Adobe offer a centric cloud solution (20Gb, 100Gb or 1Tb) available across Mac, iPhone, Windows, Adroid and Web, why not use a tiny string to synchronise through adobe's cloud (instead of iCloud) for this kind of data. (I don't know if windows and android manage watermarks in fact)
Anyway for a cloud centric solution the way Adobe offer with CC, everything this way should be possible or at least on top priorities.

But once again, I'm okay with you, ressources are not unlimited. Nevelseles,  as a simple customer, we sometimes just asking if those ressources are efficiently used or to stay positive, we are wondering about what's in the pipe. Thats the big question in fact.

But finally and it is the more important, we are hopping those limitation are not just a case study of segmentation (marketing) to catch some news customers (with CC) and not allow existing customer (from classic)  to switch from classic to CC.

If everything was running through a single company's operating systems (e.g. Apple macOS/iOS), then yes, that would be a lot simpler. But Adobe doesn't just live in an Apple world. What happens on the macOS desktop needs to work on Windows version too, so it's not as simple as using the built-in API's.

> Because as simple it is, it is not on top priority of adobe developers. 

And yes, prioritization is the crux of the matter. Like everything in life, there are limited resources, and they're trying to balance the needs of a wide range of customers. Of course that doesn't make it any less frustrating when that's the missing feature is the one you need.
