Lightroom Classic vs Lightroom CC + Black Friday 2021

Dear community,

 

1. I'm new to photography and Adobe. Would you recommend Lightroom Classic or CC? To me the most common difference is that with CC I can edit anywhere and knowing that my files are backed up in the cloud.

 

But I would like to know which one is best according to photographers?

2. Is the Black Friday applicable to individuals that have already purchased one Adobe application?

Thank you.

Good article on the subject:

From a Black Friday ad for the All App plan. Available to first-time subscribers of Adobe Creative Cloud All Apps. There may be other plans so you will need to read the "terms" for each specific offer.

There is no software known as Lightroom CC. Adobe's current offerings are called Lightroom Classic and Lightroom.

 

But I would like to know which one is best according to photographers?

 

No such thing as "best". Photographer A will give one answer and Photographer B will give the other answer. It depends on what you want to do.

 

You are correct that Lightroom does allow photos to be edited anywhere and backed up in the cloud. If that's what you want, choose Lightroom. Here's a bigger list of differences: https://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop-lightroom-classic/lightroom-cc-vs-lightroom-classic.html
