Over that same time period, a mobile-based app for iOS and Android devices, commonly referred to as Lightroom mobile, was rapidly developed and integrated with Lightroom CC 2015. Both flavors were developed in parallel, with both receiving periodic bug fixes, as well as new camera and lens support. For the last 29 months, we had two flavors of Lightroom: one paid for through a Creative Cloud (CC) subscription and one paid through a one-time payment for a perpetual license. Fast-forward to 2015, when we were introduced to Adobe Photoshop Lightroom CC 2015.0/6.0. In 2007, Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Version 1.0 was released. For clarity’s sake, as there’s likely to be confusion, I’m going to use the full names for these products at the start, and then introduce the shorthand I’ve been using to keep them straight. I also want to give you a heads-up that this isn’t just about a new version of Lightroom there’s also a whole new application (for both Mac and Windows) in the mix. It’s been more than two years since we’ve gotten a new version of Lightroom, and I’m very excited to tell you about what’s new, but I have to start by providing some historical context. This article is an excerpt from Issue 34 of Lightroom Magazine‚ just released today!
