Lightroom Albums (formerly known as Collections) Are there any other Limitations to using Lightroom? This will undoubtedly change, but until then, you may be looking at archiving older files to another, more cost-effective cloud storage when your 1 Terabyte Adobe Cloud Storage is nearly full. Adding additional storage above and beyond 1 Terabyte is expensive and not easy to access the upgrade. Lightroom does not include the Book, Slideshow, Web or Print modules that are included with Lightroom Classic. I do NOT recommend the new Lightroom CC if you do not have a fast Broadband Internet connection and a generous data allowance from your Internet Service Provider. If you capture images in the Raw quality setting and shoot lots of images you are looking at significant uploads of data. The new Lightroom imports all of your images and stores them locally and at full-resolution in Adobe’s Creative Cloud. Image editing is still non-destructive (quick and easy but with slightly less advanced options) and any changes are quickly reflected in your Lightroom Apps on all your mobile devices (no need to sync collections of images from the desktop software). We simply see the images in a Grid or Edit view (no separate Library and Develop modules when we see the full-sized preview image). Adobe has essentially done away with the modules. Lightroom will be a lot easier for newcomers to Lightroom to manage and edit their images. What are the advantages to using Lightroom compared to the Classic version? Editing an image (formerly known as Develop) is still non-destructive and has most (but not all) of the editing features of Lightroom Classic. For some users who have found it difficult to effectively manage a Lightroom Catalog, and are regularly frustrated when they see that their images or folders of images are missing, the new software will be a streamlined, simpler and welcome change. For many users this simplicity will be reason enough to choose Lightroom over Lightroom Classic. A second copy of the images is key on the users device until storage runs low (thus enabling offline editing and sharing of recent files). Users will not have to worry about where their images are stored or if the images are securely backed up onto a second drive (in case of hardware failure). The new Lightroom also offers a 1-Terabyte option (required to store the full resolution images imported into Lightroom CC. Adobe’s Artificial Intelligence (called ‘Sensei’) is integrated into the new App and can recognize most subjects and descriptive words, such as colours or tones and will quickly find any image in your Library (so long as you describe it). It will offer many users an easier way to find an image they are looking for, even if the image does not have keywords and the user cannot remember when they captured the image. The new Lightroom is now designed to work with Lightroom on Mobile devices and will offer a seamless transition when users switch between Mobile and Desktop apps. Lightroom Sensei Search: Describe your image and Lightroom finds it. The Import Workflow in the new Lightroom has but a single option – choose to import to an existing Album or not. The idea behind the new Lightroom is that it is much more tightly integrated into working with Adobe’s Creative Cloud when compared to Lightroom Classic. Project Nimbus is now branded Lightroom and the program we have been calling Lightroom CC will now be known as Lightroom Classic. Adobe announced they were engaged in developmental work on a Cloud-Based Imaging App during the 2016 Adobe Max conference in Las Vegas. The new version of Lightroom did not just spring out of thin air (or fall from Adobe’s Cloud in the sky). The new Lightroom simply offers an alternative streamlined workflow for users who want to store their full resolution image files in the Cloud and use Lightroom on their Mobile Devices. The newer Lightroom (a Cloud Centric app) has NOT been designed to supersede or replace your existing workflow. For most professional and keen amateur photographers this will continue to be your application of choice. If you have been a Lightroom user for many years your desktop application will now, most likely, be called Lightroom Classic. Adobe are describing the difference as either ‘Cloud Centric’ or ‘Desktop Centric’. Photographers now have two choices when it comes to working with Lightroom to manage, edit and share their images – Lightroom or Lightroom Classic.
