Great overview. Thank you.

[@stevejarvis186]

A fantastic video Tim, thank you so much. I`m currently an Adobe Photography Plan subscriber and therefore mainly use Lightroom Classic. IF Adobe ever gave up on Lightroom Classic, that will be the day I give up my subscription leave Adobe totally and use something else like NX Studio or Darktable for processing my photos.

Thanks for the clarification. Since I’m perfectly comfortable with the catalog, I can’t see a reason yet to move away from Classic.

Cloud based storage is quite expensive- beyond what's included in the Photography plan. For that reason, I use local storage and back up to Backblaze.

Hi Tim, I thought that Bridge + Photoshop could have been a more powerful way to organize and develop my photos compared to LrC. I was too far from truth?

[@jimforbes9119]

I use Lr! Every one of my Lr photos is (obviously) in the cloud. They (the original) are also in a folder on my computer (an external SSD in my case). The photos are all seamlessly (automatically) synced into my LrC library since I have that preference set in the Lr Cache settings ("Storage Locations for Originals") OR "Specify Location for Lightroom's synced images" preference in LrC! This is verified by 'Show in finder' from either Lr or LrC. Since the images are in LrC, and synced, any changes I make to that image in either Lr/LrC version are synced to the other. The point of this comment is that any/every image stored in the cloud is also in my LrC catalog and all of the LrC Modules are available. Every LrC Module can be used. It's humorous to me that people complain about not being able to use LrC modules as a reason for not using Lr.

With all the names Adobe has called 'Lightroom' (no need to mention them b/c we know what they are) it seem that today we could agree on just 2 names: LIGHTROOM CLASSIC AND LIGHTROOM. May I suggest that Pro photographers and photo content video producers (KZbin) stop qualifying names during their presentations. It's NOT "Lightroom in the cloud' or 'Lightroom NOT classic' . . . It's L I G H T R O O M❗ It's L I G H T R O O M C L A S S I C ❗ IMHO: If the viewer doesn't know the difference they may do well to learn the name of the product before they try to use it.

[@TimGreyTV]

Thank you so much for taking time out of your busy day to provide your input. I can assure you that my babble is never aimless. It is definitely babble, but it is most assuredly not aimless.
