Welp it's a shame to take steps backwards
I can't export photos I have to individually save them with no options for watermark or any other export settings
The histogram is a lot worse and doesn't show clipping
I can only choose to open a file in Photoshop and no other program and only as a JPG
All my photos are said to be stored on cloud now but I have yet to find how to actually get to that you'd figure it'd be easy maybe in the CC app icon in my navigation bar (or whatever you want to call it)
I can no longer print from the app

The list goes on and on they should just call it Lightroom mobile for the people who take pictures. I cannot work on this in the new Lightroom CC I can only hope that Lightroom classic is here to stay Adobe what are you doing! I like the more modern look but please don't try and put something that should be an app on my phone in my computer it is not professional.

Correct answer Brad Lawryk

Lightroom CC and Lightroom Classic are meant for two different workflows. If Lightroom Classic works better for then stick with that. You don't have to use Lightroom CC.

The tools may be named the same in CC but they don't work the same or end up giving the same result. So if you reduce Exposure in a mask and choose a big brush to make a slight reduction of the background exposue around your subject in Classic you need only do this once. But in CC, even if you turn the flow up to 200 (twice the default) you'll need to circle your subject 6 or 7 times! And worse, the effect is harsh. You can't reproduce the subtle effect of Classics Exposure. Ditto Dehaze. Someone at Adobe rewrote the code and it simply does not work the same, though named the same. Very poor effect in CC and nearly unusalble. It's an iPhone app for casual picture takers who will only ever see their work on social media on a phone.

You’ve posted to a very old thread. It is highly unlikely that the issue described in this thread, though not impossible, is the same issue which you are currently experiencing. Rather than resurrect an old thread that is seemingly similar, you are better posting to a new thread with fresh, complete information including system information, a complete description of the problem and step-by-step instructions for reproduction.

In the unlikely event the issue is the same, we will merge you back into the appropriate location.

Thank you!

The biggest issue is that after the new update it really does not work on my Macbook Pro. It crashes all the time, and the update circle just runs. I litteraly cannot deliver my work to my client. I have no tool to use any more.

This is not "solved." Lightroom's programs are becoming less professional and more expensive.

Totally agree. Whomever designed the CC version of lightroom should be fired. It is absolutely awful. Its mot even good as a mobile/cloud version. They really shoud have called it another name because it in no way resembles what the original lightroom was designed for. Leave it to Adobe. Back to Capture One. Itll do everything LR Classic and CC does in a single software from a company that cares about its customers. Adobe stopped caring about its customers a long time ago.

I agree this is a confusing disaster. I am desperate to get the mobile functionality integrated into my "Classic" work flow. I have switched to the new deal and back to the old one. My photos (including the edit history etc) are trapped in two places and I cannot see any way to synchronise them any more.

I have lost hours of my life for nothing. The subscription costs more than my business MS Office subscription, but the product is paralysing me.

Yep. It is getting worse - not better.

Yes, even as (very) early beta such an incredible crippled piece of software would be hardly acceptable.

But as paid software... NEVER!
