Hi id like to buy Adobe Lightroom for MAC OS X but i'd like to buy a single license, pay once and forget, i don't need all the cc suite and don't wanna pay every month. Is this possible? where and how can i do it?

    If you already have an earlier version you can upgrade otherwise you need to buy the full version as a first time purchase.

    LR6 will offer you the chance to convert your earlier LR catalog; so nothing will be lost. Use the link below to buy directly from Adobe and you will qualify for the upgrade price. Click Buy and select:

    • - I want to buy (change from Full to Upgrade)
    • - I Own (Choose Lightroom 5X)

    The upgrade price will then be displayed and you can click add to cart.

    You can buy Lightroom 6 with a one-time payment from many online stores like Amazon, B&H, and Adorama.

    Thanks!!! can i upgrade to lightroom from a previous version? i'd like to check the cheapest way of having lightroom 6 installed in my mac. Would it be buying lightroom 6 or buying a previous version and upgrading later to lightroom 6?

    i fact i only need lightroom to support my fujifilm x100s raw files...

    ThankS!

    Just bear in mind that CC has more features than Lightroom 6 such as Dehaze, Boundary Warp and syncs with Lightroom Mobile. Lightroom 6 does not have those extras.
