Why would one app be called CC and not the other? Both are under that umbrella. The Adobe Creative Cloud, also known as Adobe CC or the Adobe Cloud, is a comprehensive collection of Adobe desktop software and mobile applications under one umbrella. They should call Lightroom CC LightRoom Cloud and LightRoom Classic something like LightRoom Pro, aka, the real one. Also you get Photoshop, fonts, Portfolio, and a few other things at no extra charge. They have out-innovated their competitors by a mile, taking the lead in some areas and closing the gap on others, leaving less and less breathing space to DXO and especially C1.ĭXO and C1 cannot compete on the library and print modules, and once you had Photoshop, the catalog of fonts you can use in your publications and web site and Adobe Portfolio, the $10/month is really cheap and makes all the others niche players.Ĭ1 has a niche in wedding and studio commercial photography like fashion.ĭXO, I don't know but at least can always be used as a great Lightroom plugin, C1 cannot.įor me, LightRoom is now alone in tier 1, especially when you consider the whole package you get.Īgreeing with the above - except I point out that the library module is Lightroom Classic and not Lightroom in particular I say often that it is a mistake to think of Lightroom Classic as just an editor, there's plenty of functions in Lightroom Classic that are not editing that add value. Over the last 2-3 years, Adobe has delivered brilliantly on the promise that the subscription model would allow more innovations. Since then Adobe added Texture which is similar to C1's Structure slider. This was 5 years ago and everything changes. Even if C1 Pro edged out LrC I still would have not spent the money. This is just an example of how I made a decision about something that was important to me. See what he says about that starting at minute 10:15. A C1 Pro die hard but gives good balanced reviews. I came across this video after I made my decision. If I was a portrait photographer I'd probably have it as well. Their claim to fame is colour and they deliver. There was nothing wrong with C1 Pro's detail.

Many won't agree me but I expected the fine detail to blow my socks off but it didn't. I tried C1 Pro three times and it has a lot to offer.

If the colours, textures and mostly as a wildlife photographer you can get sharp images then that would be the priority to me anyway.įor example I use LrC.

Second tier only depending on what your needs are.
