Question

Do I need to pay for Lightroom Mobile?

Hi all, I am subscribed to PS and Lightroom Mobile. I dont necessarily need the cloud based version as I use NAS and only work at home on one computer. Can I change to a one off purchased version of PS and Lightroom?

Thanks,  Dave.

That is a strange combination. Do you mean you pay about $20/month for only Photoshop, and $5/month for Lightroom Mobile Premium? In that case you can save yourself quite a bit of money by subscribing to the 20GB Photography Plan ($10/month). That will give you Photoshop, Lightroom Classic, Lightroom Cloud, Lightroom Mobile premium features and 20GB of cloud space. The 1TB plan is also still cheaper at $20 for all of that.

Thanks again, I think I have the $10 option, I just find it all a
bit confusing. I will work it out. Cheers, Dave.

No. Photoshop and Lightroom are only with subscription available.

 

My System: Intel i7-8700K - 64GB RAM - NVidia Geforce RTX 3060 - Windows 11 Pro 25H2 -- LR-Classic 15 - Photoshop 27 - Nik Collection 8 - PureRAW 6 - Topaz Photo AI

Thank you for your quick reply, could you tell me how cloud based and PC based Lightroom differs. Is one better than the other? I find the cloud based version file storage confusing.

Cheers, Dave.

Here you'll find a good article about the difference between both versions:
