I have just purchased Lightroom 5.5 after updating my Mac to Big Sur, i formally used an old version of Lightroom which no longer worked with Big Sur .
I'm trying to find my why round this newer version and there are a couple of things i can't find.
History of what i had done to an image and in the filmstrip at the bottom on the older version there was an icon on an image if i had done any work on it now there is nothing on the image.
Adobe's marketing is extremely confusing. Lightroom 5.5 is NOT the new version of Lightroom. It is a port of the version of Lightroom for mobile operating systems to desktop operating systems. It stores all your image in the cloud but It misses many features that you might have been aware of before. The new version of Lightroom is called Lightroom Classic. It is far more powerful and stores your images locally. To switch you need to get with adobe support to switch your subscription to one that includes Classic. The cheapest is the photography plan that also includes photoshop. You might actually have this plan but installed the wrong Lightroom so check that first. Many people fall for this marketing confusion. Cloud based Lightroom can be useful for some people as all your images are in the cloud and will look the same in every device but you miss many features unfortunately.
