If you used Lightroom before 2017, that’s the one you’ll be familiar with. You might be wondering why there are two versions of Lightroom for the desktop? Lightroom Classic is an older version of the software, and the one that used to be sold on a physical disc, which focused more on regular desktop storage for your photos. But what are the main differences for the price point, what do you really need and how should you choose between them? Read on, and we’ll explain everything you need to know about each Adobe Photography Plan. So, those are the similarities between the three plans. Plus you get easy access to certain parts of the Adobe Creative Cloud, such as Adobe Portfolio, Adobe Fonts and Adobe Stock (opens in new tab), without ever having to leave the Photoshop or Lightroom interface. Another good thing about the subscription model is you’ll also get regular updates for free, every time Adobe introduces a new feature or tool, adds support for new cameras, or just overhauls the software completely. So many of us are editing our images across a number of devices now, and whichever plan you choose from, you’ll get access to your chosen software to download to multiple devices such as a desktop, mobile and iPad. But if you'd rather see the specs, features and prices of each Adobe Photography plan clearly outlined, we're here to help. Not sure which one is right for you? Adobe has a fun quiz (opens in new tab) for helping you choose the right plan.
