Adobe Lightroom Classic has become one of the most widely used photo editors of all, even surpassing the mighty Photoshop, thanks to its all-in-one combination of powerful image organizing and searching tools and increasingly sophisticated non-destructive editing tools. Many photographers now find Lightroom has all the photo editing tools they need, and they hardly use Photoshop at all. Today, it's one of the best photo-editing software applications.
Lightroom Classic is the (relatively) new name for the original desktop-based Lightroom. When Adobe launched the web-first Lightroom CC (now Adobe simply calls it ‘Lightroom’) 10 years later in 2017, it changed the name of the original to ‘Lightroom Classic’. These programs offer the same editing tools but a very different workflow, so be sure to check out my separate Lightroom review. In the meantime, does Lightroom Classic still handle everything that digital photographers might need today?
