LR Cloud subscription

This is a very basic question I know, but for some reason, I am unclear.

I have started a subscription to LR Cloud, in the description of the software on my MacBook, it is called Adobe Photoshop Lightroom.

I am still going through the tutorials to learn LR, but does my subscription include Photoshop also ?  (My subscription is the one with 1 TB Cloud storage $ 15 per month Canada)

I used to use Affinity, but I find LR more intuitive

Fair question.

 

Adobe's naming convention for Lightroom has aways been confusing at best and downright misleading at worst.

 

For reasons best known to themselves, Adobe insists on calling the product "Adobe Photoshop Lightroom", by which they mean just the software we all know as Lightroom. No-one else calls it by its full Adobe name other than Adobe. Over the years, this intransigence has led to all sorts of confused newbie questions in the forums.

For CAD15 per month, I assume you've got the Lightroom plan (1TB) - 3rd column - which does not include Photoshop.

Thanks, I am clear now

For the very rare and ocasional reason I might need more than LR I can always go to Affinity

If you do not need more than 20GB of Cloud storage, then you have the option to change your plan to the Photography Plan (20GB) that includes ALL the Apps you would want- Lightroom (Cloud), Lightroom-Classic, Photoshop, etc.

 

Regards. My System: Windows-11, Lightroom-Classic 15.3, Photoshop 27.5, ACR 18.3, Lightroom 9.3, Lr-iOS 10.4.0, Bridge 16.0.3 .
