Good video! i started with cc a few weeks ago, not knowing there was (such a big) difference between the two versions. I thought it was more like the successor of classic and that the people who've been using classic and didnt want to switch to something new still got their own version, and that in the future they'd have to go to cc anyways. But now i totally get it! (finally!)

Thanks for the video. Excellent summary of the two applications. My question is this: If I'm using Lightroom Classic on my home PC, but I store all of my original images to my own cloud account (say BT, or similar), don't I get the same advantages of LR CC if I just have Classic loaded on my laptop / tablet and just access & store image files to this cloud storage while I'm out and about? If both PC and Laptop installations of LR Classic know where the original files are, then don't I have the best of both worlds? It feels like I'm missing something really important and obvious here!! :-)

This is the best video I've viewed on Lightroom Classic vs Lightroom CC. Marc explains the difference in a perfect manner, explaining it in words and also showing it as a visual comparison. Basically, Adobe has produced a Lightroom Elements package but named it Lightroom CC. Adobe is so interested in making money, which is why they've gone to the SUBSCRIPTION requirement on Photoshop, and now Lightroom. Along with that, Adobe wants even more money by requiring images to be saved (stored) in their Cloud. Sure, they start off with a tiny bit of storage space in the Cloud for the CC user, figuring that eventually the user will need to pay for more storage in the cloud. Anyway, thanks for the excellent video, Marc. And I'm going to join up with The School of Photography.

Probably a dumb question, but it sounds like I should be sticking with LrC, because I have hundreds of thousands of images in my catalogs, and this represents pointers to terabytes of images on hard drives. I probably don't want to pay Adobe for additional space, so I will always have to use LrC, is that correct? I pay for Creative Cloud - have all the apps. But having all of my images "in the cloud" scares me a bit. Plus on-going additional cost. The only reason why I'm considering switching to Lightroom CC is because all the new features are coming out for that, while many of the best ones aren't being developed for LrC. Feels like Adobe wants it to just go away, which is sad. I'm a "work local/fast" type of guy. Thoughts?

Still trying to wrap my mind around where the master photos live on my iPad. So I take some photos and then I connect my camera to my iPad which then asks me to import the photos off of the camera. I select the photos I want and import. These are raw photos which are now in my camera roll on my iPad. From there I open lightroom cc and import the photos I have just imported from the camera into the camera roll. Here is where I get confused. When the photos are being copied from my camera roll into Lightroom cc are they being bounced into the cloud immediately leaving behind the preview? My next question is if I am not connected to the Internet and Lightroom CC cannot bounce the raw files up into the cloud what am I left with in Lightroom CC? Am I left with the original photo that just came from my camera roll?

Would that work under the Classic model they offer? Or if you get classic there is no way to use iPad also? Thanks for your videos! Also, I thought Lr Classic Photography was $9.99 with only 20GB and Lr CC was also $9.99 but did not have Photoshop or desktop but gave 1TB. Now it seems one is $9.99 and other is $19.99 both having 1TB. Very confusing

Thanks for the video - great tutorial! I still have a lack of understanding when it comes to syncing and hope that someone might be able to clarify my lack of understanding ;) I was yesterday with the Sdobe Hotline on the phone but they were not able to answer my questions. I have Lightroom Classic CC installed on my iMac and on my MacBook Pro as well and I have Lightroom Mobile on my iPad and iPhone . I want to sync only specific collections and not all of my photos. Based on your tutorial I understand that I can chose which collections to sync. (1) They (and only they) will be synced via Adobe Cloud to my MacBook Pro as well as the iOS devices, right? I had for a test-drive Lightroom CC installed on my iMac and that caused the program immediately to sync a large chunk of my photos to the Adobe cloud - which I did not choose to do but - as I was told - using Lightroom CC will cause all of the photos to be synced. After testing Lightroom CC and deciding that it was not good enough I decided to uninstall Lightroom CC and install Lightroom Classic CC only. Within Classic I have not yet checked any of the collections to be synced. (2) Can I delete all of the synced pictures in the Adobe Cloud without them being deleted on my iMac? I want to have a cleaned up cloud before I start syncing from Lightroom Classic but obviously I do not want to loose any pictures on my desktop system- I hope these questions are not too much to ask for and appreciate the help of the community! Thanks a lot!

Thanks for this. I am a classic user who has just started looking at CC. It has raised some questions though. Firstly, I just saw another vid showing how to adjust the colour channels in the tone curve on CC. As far as I can see, you can't do this in classic, and that made me think that Adobe is going to move us all from classic eventually. That then raised loads of questions about catalog management, etc The next question was to do with storage. I checked I was syncing by clicking on my name, as you showed, and it says I have use 1.77 GB out of 20gb, so I don't have the full 100GB. Just wondering if this is because I only have the basic £10pm subscription. Finally, I only have 5 collections out of probably a couple of hundred available collections in LR classic. Those I have are root collections and not collection sets, but not all root collections are there.

The biggest downside is when working with CC, that you're working with a preview. The classic CC can work on the raw files, and the raw have a lots bigger range of possibilities stored only in raw. For example when having an underexposed image and work with cc on a preview, there is no way to tickle and see all out of the image to make it look like an normal exposed one. Also the outcome of the image when syncing from CC to classic CC will be different because of the lack of raw range of the preview. So CC is useless stuff for people who don't have a basic understanding of color theory and dynamic range of a raw. That's a app to use for Kindergarden kids, to make oversaturated coloured ugly non realistic images. But for serious Graphics designers and photographers it not worth a try.
