Marking Up Photos in Lightroom

[normatorti]

Hi, Is there a mark-up tool in Lightroom that allows you to "draw" on top of the image? Thanks.

[Nancy OShea]

Lightroom is a digital darkroom.  For drawing, use Photoshop CC which has a wide assortment of Brushes, Pencil, Pen, Eraser and Shapes.

Thank you.  Is there a Photoshop version that is in the $200 -$300 price range available?

[Nancy OShea]

The best deal is the Photography Plan for $10/month. It includes LR, LR Classic and the full scale Photoshop CC + 10 GB of storage, continued updates, Camera Raw, Bridge, Adobe Fonts, mobile apps and online services.

The plan you are referring to that includes Lightroom, Lightroom Classic and Photoshop for $10/month does not have 10 GB of storage. It has 20 GB of cloud storage.

[Nancy OShea]

@JimHess, I stand corrected. 20GB, not 10. Thanks.

There is also a 1 TB storage plan for $10 more per month.

[JimHess]

Yes, that is true. However, that plan does NOT include Photoshop.

"However, that plan does NOT include Photoshop."

Sure it does.

Ah yes, that is right. The $20/month plan does include Photoshop. I was thinking of the $10/month plan that has Lightroom Classic and one TB  cloud storage. Thanks for keeping me straight.

[Nancy OShea]

No worries.

Hi, I subscribe to the $10/month and get the apps below.  How do I upgrade to the $20/month to have Photoshop too?  Thank you.

[JimHess]

Photoshop cannot be purchased outright. It is only available by subscription in the creative cloud program. Depending on which subscription program you have signed up to, it may be included. The only Adobe program that can be purchased is Photoshop Elements. I'm not familiar enough with it to know whether it would have enough drawing features for what you need. It sells for just a little over $100, I think.
