First mobile experience with Lightroom cc

[bellevue scott]

I’m a week into my first mobile experience with Lightroom cc, and in a nutshell it’s nothing short of a complete sh*t show. I thought I could take my camera and an iPa, and LR cc would be sufficient, but it’s been the biggest kluge and disappointment ever from Adobe.

First, you have to import photos into the iPad first, then add them to LR. Obviously the product management team didn’t think this through at all. It’s a kluge! Now I know that Adobe will blame Apple, saying they don’t have access to direct imports, because that’s what Adobe always does. But regardless of who is to blame for the need to import photos and them add them to LR, creating two copies, and the need to then delete them from your photos to not have two copies, it’s a mess. And if I had brought a laptop, there would be no need for LR cc, I could just use LR Classic CC. Anyway, in deleting all these copies, I also deleted some photos I took with my iPhone by accident, making me angry and resentful at LR. This is the first time in 10 years I’ve lost valuable photos, and for that I’ll never forgive LR. This will be the bad experience that leads me to finally trash LR. It’s time for a new program.

The subset of tools available on LR cc is very lacking, and I’ve been very dissatisfied with the tools that are available. It’s OK, but it‘s Not Lightroom quality, and nowhere near what I’m used to with the old lightroom in the desktop.

Adobe, I’m done with LR. When I return from my trip I will convert all my catalogs of 10 years to a new program and say good bye to what was once an amazing piece of software that I recommended to everyone. I‘m finished being a guinea pig for Adobe’s failed attempt to push its long time LR users to a sub-standard, poorly implemented cloud solution.

If you only want to vent at Adobe, you've probably picked the wrong place to do it. This is a "user-to-user" forum, which typically means users with problems come here to try to get help from other users such as myself. Adobe staff do sometimes post here, but if you want to be sure you get your message to Adobe you'd be better advised to post it perhaps at the official Adobe feedback site:

Lightroom CC | Photoshop Family Customer Community

I respectfully disagree. The forum is for users, but it helps to see what other users are thinking, and Adobe should be watching its own forums. Where am I supposed to "vent"? On Twitter? There is no better forum for venting than the user forum for that product.

I agree, which is why I gave you the link to the correct user forum (which isn't this one).
