Photography Plan subscribers get both Lightroom Classic CC and a simplified, mobile-oriented, cloud-friendly Lightroom CC (formerly Lightroom for mobile) with their subscription, along with 20GB of cloud storage and the Spark suite of cloud apps. The standalone Lightroom 6 will continue to be sold, but it’s the last perpetual Lightroom version, with Adobe’s support for camera updates coming to a halt at the end of 2017. With Photoshop CC 2018 and a rebranded Lightroom Classic CC for desktop, Lightroom is now subscription-only. How? For several years, Photoshop has been available only by subscription, either via the standard Creative Cloud for $49 per month or the Creative Cloud Photography Plan for $9.99 per month, but Lightroom was still available as a perpetual license. However, occasionally, downloading was slow or failed entirely.Īlas, Adobe giveth and Adobe taketh away. Most of the time I was able to access photos from the cloud fairly instantaneously.

No fuss, no muss, and a genuine time saver. All you need to do is click on the photo you want, and it will be imported directly into the app. Photoshop users can now hook into their Lightroom photos via the cloud, with all synced images accessible from the app’s Start screen. Adobe Photoshop CC 2018: Easy access to Lightroom Photoshop jockeys who know every tool by heart, can disable the feature in the preferences. Perhaps Adobe will build out that feature so the majority of tools have visual tips, but this is a good start. Tool Tips are enhanced with tiny animations.Īlso new are Rich Tooltips-enhanced labels complete with tiny graphics and animations-that demonstrate how each tool works, though not every tool has annotated instructions. It would be even better if you could start with your own photos in the interactive examples, but it’s a step in the right direction. You can follow the steps in the example or bring up the additional text instructions, available from the Help icon.

Instead, Photoshop CC 2018 provides annotated steps using its own sample images covering categories like Photography, Retouching, Combining Images, and Graphic Design, each containing three to five instructional modules. Workflow recipes arrive with Photoshop CC 2018.
