As of this post there are two versions of Adobe Lightroom
Lightroom Classic CC
The SBCC photography program uses Lightroom Classic exclusively.
In a nutshell Lightroom Classic CC is the standard Lightroom application where files; including the application, catalog and original images live on the computer’s drive.
If you are taking a class at SBCC you should be using Lightroom Classic CC.
Lightroom CC
Lightroom CC takes a cloud-based approach where the original images are housed in the cloud and can be accessed from anywhere.
SBCC Photography does NOT support Lightroom CC.
If you are NOT taking an SBCC Photography class and you would like a mobile friendly cloud based image editor use Lightroom CC.
CollegeBuys usually has the best deal for students’ home use as of the writing of this post. Adobe Creative Cloud – CollegeBuys
Lightroom Classic is also available as part of the Creative Cloud Photography plan, starting at US$9.99/month directly from Adobe.
Note: This does NOT include any of the other Adobe applications like Photoshop, Premiere, Illustrator, etc.. To get the entire suite of Adobe applications purchase the Creative Cloud All Apps package.
