I have been using lightroom 4.1 or about a month now. I have been googling and youtubing lots of how to videos and articles and I have noticed many features I do not have (or see). For example, split toning and range mask. The other (and important to me) is the before and after when using the gradient tool. I can only see the before and after for all settings together.

Thanks!

There were lengthy discussions about the naming. And believe me, most of us here, dealing with other users were everything but happy with the multiple name changing and reusing old names for new products - it's a total mess.

Do not mix up Lightroom and Lightroom Classic, since these are seperate programs.

Lightroom (currently in version 4.1) is storing all your photos to the Adobe cloud.

Lightroom Classic (currently in version 10.1) is storing photos locally and uses a catalog (database for all metadata).

Lightroom Classic is much longer on the market and has some features not available in Lightroom.

Is lightroom classic going away? No matter how much I search (including Adobe site) all results take me to the cloud version. I did eventually find the classic version but took some effort.
Thanks for the clarification.
