I’m sure you’ve noticed there are 3 versions of Lightroom.
To top it off there’s also Photoshop and camera RAW. Where do they fit in? I’ll show you that at the end.
Maybe you’ve even felt confused or even betrayed by all this mess.
OK maybe not quite betrayed. But it’s kind of crazy right?
In making the new Moby mobile presets, I was working on all 3 versions and realized I should make a video to clarify what’s happening.
So here’s why there are 3 versions of Lightroom and some tips so you can decide which one is best for you. You can also watch this on my channel.
The quality in all 3 will be exactly the same. But in short, you should probably just use Lightroom Classic and Lightroom Mobile. There’s really no need for Lightroom (cloud desktop) to have ever existed and it can’t really give you anything that Lightroom (classic) cannot.
It’s worth noting that Lightroom cloud can also be used online directly without even installing an app. This is neat, though if anything in makes the Lightroom Cloud desktop version even less needed.
Let me know what Lightroom you prefer and why in the comments.
