Hi all,
I only use lightroom (the computer based one), I do not use the cloud base business.
If i look my program list.
Can i delete Adobe lightroom
And keep Adobe Lightroom classic.
if so they could call the first one Adobe lightroom CC to be less confusing
Um...
I'm not sure it is confusing.
They are officially called
Adobe Photoshop Lightroom when they were stand-alone programs on a CD-ROM in a box that you buy from a brick and mortar shop.
The ones you pay a monthly or yearly subscribe/plan, download and install on your computer, is officially called
Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Creative Cloud in full.
They're often shorten to
Lightroom (if from a CD-ROM) or
Lightroom CC (if downloaded).
Assuming if the first one you mention "Adobe Lightroom" was a stand-alone you installed from a CD-ROM, it is just "Adobe Lightroom" and it would be more confusing if you called it "Adobe Lightroom CC" considering that CC stands for
Creative Cloud.
But if both of them were downloaded and installed, then technically both of them are Lightroom CC.
The only reason the second one is called
Lightroom Classic CC is because this is a new name for the download and install versions, as Adobe have decided to develop a new way, one that you do not download and install, just access it online, which had now became
Lightroom CC.
So to recap:
Lightroom = Buy CD-ROM from shop and install on your computer.
Lightroom CC = Download and install, pay by subscription (Usually versions before 2017). But it have now became...
Lightroom Classic CC = New name for the above.
Lightroom CC = Access online and pay by subscription, usually versions released after 2017.
