New to editing - Lr or LrC?

[MHill]

Hello all,

I am new to photo editing and have just learned about the existence of Lightroom Classic. I was wondering if it was worth the upgrade if I am currently only using Lightroom. From what I've read, LrC seems to have more options, but is not as user friendly.

Thanks in advance for any response!

Lightroom Classic—LrC is supported by a mass of tutorials, especially on YouTube; Lightroom—Lr has almost no comparable support, and that which exists is nearly impossible to find.

Totally agree, LRC hands down.

The Adobe photography plan has lightroom, lightroom classic, and photoshop included for 9.99 per month, so you can use both. Classic is better if you always use a desktop computer, but lightroom is good when mobile. There are ways to sync the two.

Here is a great blog post about which one to use:

Lightroom cloud ecosystem vs. Lightroom Classic - which do I need? | The Lightroom Queen

Do you need the cloud-native Lightroom CC or the traditional folder-based Lightroom Classic? Detailed feature comparison and decision tree to help you decide.

And you should look in to the "Adobe photography plan" as mentioned earlier so you can evaluate both of them.
