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
