My experience was that I utilized one of the connections gave above to download the most recent variant of Lightroom, yet when I attempted to open it, there was not a single form 6 in sight. If it's not too much trouble, acknowledge my earnest thanks indeed.

As a matter of fact, when I tried to open the latest version of Lightroom I was told that the version 6 could not be found, even though I had used one of the links provided above to download the latest version. It is with great pleasure that I once again extend my sincere thanks to you.

You resurected a 6 year old topic about an even older product from 2012.

The bigger question is why are you clinging to 10+ year old software when you don't have to? 🙄

Creative Cloud Photography Plan ($10/month for 12 months). Includes the following:

Photoshop CC and Photoshop on iPad,
Camera Raw,
Lightroom on desktop, mobile and the web,
Lightroom Classic (similar to LR6),
Portfolio website + hosting,
Adobe Express (free starter plan),
Bridge,
20 GB cloud storage (upgradable to 1 TB).

I think, simply put, because many of us don't want to be tied to an ongoing subscription model. I know it may sound counter-intuitive to YOU... but I'm about to give another company $300 to replace the aging Lightroom 6. (Not mentioning the company, since I don't know if that's allowed; and I'm also not trying to convince anyone else to switch (or stay... just explaining my position.))

If subscription model works for you, then great. It is a good package of software for the price, if you use it all regularly; understood. Please realize, that it is not for everyone. In the perpetual license days I was happy to pay for the upgrades too... it was understood in those days that new features had a cost (upgrading.) But having used Lightroom since the early public betas, it was nice the one or two times that budgets were tight that I could skip an upgrade and retain full functionality of the software.

I just know they are not getting MY money anymore. I know that means very little to anyone at Adobe.... I also know that other companies are also in business to make a profit. But I'll support the ones that at least are willing to PRETEND to be customer focused.

Thanks to whoever first posted the above links to the last LR6 version (kglad, I think); I was able to grab and archive it before end of 2023. (I'll probably copy it to my Google Drive and DropBox as well my regular backup of LR catalog & images.)

Personally I'll probably keep LR6 around for awhile -- but right now my plan is to eventually:

Use LR6 to render any images that have edits applied --- to be sure I have a 'final' version of any edited images.
At that point, make a special backup (in addition to my normal backups) of my entire image library folder structure & LR catalog & Installer for safe keeping.
From then on, use alternative RAW editors / Image organizers in my workflow.

David

As a result, I am giving up and switching over to Adobe Bridge or Digikam. We need them both to be doing what they are doing right now.
