Transition from Classic to CC

Longtime user of Classic version.  Just started using CC recently.  What happened to all the features of Classic like skin smoothing and teeth whitening etc? The entire layout has changed so much I can't seem to find anything, even after watching the tutorials in Help and some others.  I guess, bottom line, how do I change to a look that's more like Classic and gives me all those tools back for editing portraits?

 

Thanks for any help.

You are comparing two different applications that serve different purposes. Classic is the full-featured desktop-based application, and CC is designed for mobile use and doesn't have all the same features.

It is different software! Different features! No Brush Presets. No Print module. No keyword hierarchy, etc.

It is made for 'Mobile' people and is not a Lr-Classic replacement.

I suggest you stay with Lr-Classic!

COMPARE LR & LR-CLASSIC (Lr Queen)
