Hi. I have 2 subscriptions. One to adobe lightroom and one to lightroom photo and video editor. What's the difference between these 2 and do I need both to edit pictures? I primarily use lightroom PV editor to edit my pictures. Do I still need adobe lightroom? 
thanks so much

    Lightroom Photo & Video Editor is the mobile version for the phone. There is a different mobile version for the iPad, but the Premium plan applies to all mobile versions. The premium plan does not apply to desktop computer versions, but the oppposite does: the desktop computer plans (Lightroom plan, Photography plan) do include all mobile versions. Conclusion: you never need two plans.

    If the Lightroom Subscription is the Lightroom Plan that allows you to use application on Mac / Windows (and had 1TB of Cloud Stiarge) then this includes use on all mobile devices.

     

    The Lightroom Photo and Video Editor is Lightroom Mobile, so you don't need both.

     

    The trouble is that if you have two different Adobe ID (logins) and thus two separate Libraries of photos. Although this can be worked around.

     

    Just to confirm what computers and devices do you use which applications on?
