Can anyone tell me how to actually buy LR Classic? Ive gone to its landing page here:

https://www.adobe.com/uk/products/photoshop-lightroom-classic.html

nd clicked on 'buy' but that just takes me to a page for Adobe's cloud products. ????

How does one actually buy this product if it really exists!

Thank you

Lynden

That is what Lr Classic is, A Cloud Product that can only be used with a subscription.

The Photography Plan for $9.99 US a month. you get LrC and Ps.

No it isn't. Classic is the desktop app.

The cloud products you are talking about are called 'CC'.

I'm not interested in those. I just want the desktop app. (which is why it is called 'classic' as a reference to it being the 'old way' now that we're all supposed to move to subscription based purchases; no thanks).

Lightroom Classic is officially part of the Adobe Creative Cloud, but it runs on your local computer as its predecessor software always has. You cannot "purchase" it, you can subscribe and receive a license that let's you use Lightroom Classic as long as your subscription is paid. The Cloud portion of Lightroom Classic delivers the software to you, updates the software, checks to make sure your subscription is paid, and also allows option cloud sharing of photos.


There are no products with Lightroom in the name that also have CC in the name.
