Lightroom Update

[JimFox]

Lightroom has now ben split into 2 versions of very similar names. There will no longer be a standalone version, and the 2 versions announced are very similar in name, but very different in abilities.

Michael Frye, who is probably the greatest Landscape photographer of this generation has written up a blog to the differences.

I updated to the LR Classic. As Michael said in the link above, more suited to those serious about photo processing.
I've found the $9.99 per month, with forever updates, much better than the new version costs as the old days made you spend every year or so.
The new range mask is something I've been hoping for for quite a while! And it does feel a little bit faster for the limited time I've had try it out.

Definitely faster from what I have seen so far.

I use Adobe CC. I have tried to like LR, but I hate any program that tries to manage my files especially if it is in a data base format. I think ACR does everything LR does other than file management.
