Moved to Lightroom Classic as it's actually a Lightroom Classic question.

By @Sean McCormack

 

"Lightroom CC" was the name of what is now simply called Lightroom, not Lightroom Classic. Adobe dropped "CC" from the name of all apps a few years ago. So I'm not so sure this is a Lightroom Classic question. Anyway, it does not really matter: both Lightroom and Lightroom Classic support Super Resolution. The iPad version does not.

Yes, Lr Desktop (what you refer to as LRCC) supports 'Super Resolution'. It can be found under the Photo > Enhance menu option. See below screenshot.

Hi,

Yes, I have mixed them up. I'm talking about the cloud version. I use this on iPad, iPhone and my desktop. I do not have lightroom Classic installed. I have the other one so I can go on each device and work on photos. 

So, super resolution is then indeed not on the iPad or iPhone version? 

I do have a question. Should I be using lightroom classic on my desktops/laptops and not the cloud version? 

I know it is more powerful than the cloud version. But, I like having fast access to sharing ect... 

 

thanks,

guys

>I do have a question. Should I be using lightroom classic on my desktops/laptops and not the cloud version? 

Your other quetions were answered already. For this question, the answer is it depends. If you regularly need the missing features (there are very many) in Lightroom Desktop (i.e. the cloud based version), go with Classic. If you like the feature that all your images are in the cloud and identical on every device, go with Desktop. Ironically it is much harder to share images with Desktop as it does not have the share button you see on the iPad version. Classic is actually easier in many cases. The share button on the iPad version is very nice and easy to go straight to instagram etc. On Desktop you have to export the file first. Open a webbrowser and browse to instagram, push the plus button there and find your exported file in the dialog (or drag it in). Also "ironically," you can print on the iPad version, but not on the Desktop version!


I appreciate that answer a lot. There are a few things you can't do on LR cloud. Im

calling it cloud lol. I don't think you can stack photos. That's one thing you can do on Classic. 

Adobe should just put the 2 together and have one LR app for all use cases.
