If you use Lightroom 6 and don't have any plans to switch to Adobe's subscription software, here's a warning: don't run the Lightroom updater through Adobe's download manager with default settings. It will delete your Lightroom 6 and install Lightroom CC instead.
Adobe unveiled its cloud-centric Lightroom CC yesterday and announced that desktop Lightroom has been rebranded as Lightroom Classic CC. The company also stated that Lightroom 6 would be the final standalone version of Lightroom that doesn't require a subscription... backtracking on what the company said just a few years ago.

The show runs at around 10 minutes, and features members of the Adobe team interviewing guest creatives, including photographers. The first episode featuring a photographer is embedded above, with Lindsay Adler in the hot seat.
You probably didn't know this, but at the beginning of this year, you could still purchase a brand new boxed copy of Adobe's four-year-old Creative Suite 6 by calling an Adobe call center. But as of January 9th, Adobe officially pulled the plug on CS6: now it's Creative Cloud or bust.
Adobe took a lot of crap from the photo community for switching to the Creative Cloud subscription model, but all of that criticism seems to have been worth it. According to the company's recent earnings report, business is booming.
Adobe just announced its latest update to Lightroom CC. Aside from new camera support and performance improvements, the main feature found in version 2015.8 is the introduction of the new Reference View.

It seems that the shift from boxed software to digital subscription plans is paying off big time for the San Jose, California-based company.
Adobe Photoshop is ubiquitous on the desktop computers of photographers around the world, but the company has yet to win the same amount of love on mobile devices such as tablets or smartphones.

Adobe has been making moves into the cloud for some time now (it is called Creative Cloud after all), so it doesn't come as a surprise to hear that the long-awaited Chromebook Photoshop beta is finally live and ready for cloud computing early-adopters to start putting through the ringer.
It's come to light that, within the latest Creative Cloud update, there is a major change in how the licensing functionality for Lightroom works. Specifically, even after your license runs out, it's been discovered that Lightroom still continues to function -- for the most part.
In a sneaky move that the company probably hoped nobody would notice, Adobe turned on "Desktop App Usage Information" by default in the most recent update to Creative Cloud. This means that, unless they manually go in and disable the feature, CC users' app usage data is currently being shared with Adobe.
Fortunately, disabling the feature is pretty easy, assuming you don't want that info shared with Adobe.
Adobe’s major Creative Cloud update yesterday gave photographers several updated features, new features and even an all-new …
Earlier today, Adobe announced a collection of upgrades, updates and new releases for its Creative Cloud platform. Briefly detailed in our coverage of the announcement, Photoshop CC received a number of improvements, Lightroom Mobile received an iPhone version, and Adobe announced a new iPad app Photoshop Mix.
But that was just an announcement, and so to properly introduce you to a number of these features, we’ve compiled a demo/walkthrough collection that shows each of these new features and apps in action.
If you head over to Adobe's website now, you'll find a bunch of information on the company's major Creative Cloud update that, as promised via teaser, just went live today.
And while you're welcome to go digging through all of that stuff to try and ferret out what's important for you, we've done the tedious work for you and summarized the important Adobe CC changes as they apply to photographers.
In this short but helpful episode of Adobe Creative Cloud TV, Adobe Evangelist Terry White reveals some neat Photoshop CC layer features that you may not know about. From filtering and searching layers, to selecting multiple layers, to generating assets from layers, White shares some very useful information.
A couple of weeks ago, we told you to mark June 18th on your calendars, because Adobe would be revealing "the next evolution of Creative Cloud." Well, we're still a few days away from the fateful keynote, but Adobe has given us a little teaser, showing us just one of the features that the Photoshop team has been working on for this major update.
In addition to introducing a few speed enhancements and fixing a few bugs -- you know, typical update stuff -- the most recent Creative Cloud update, version 1.6.0.393, brings one exciting and unexpected feature: you can now install and run previous versions of Adobe programs alongside the latest and greatest.
Mark your calendars ladies and gentlemen, because "the next evolution of Creative Cloud" will be revealed during a live-streaming keynote on June 18th at 1pm Eastern, and it promises to be a doozy of an announcement.
Looking to address the growing market of touch devices, Adobe today showed off a new, touch-friendly version of Photoshop CC at Microsoft’s Surface Pro 3 announcement. A touch iteration impressive simply because it doesn't cut corners or features on its way to touchscreen functionality.
Man down! And by man down, we mean Adobe Creative Cloud. Starting late yesterday afternoon, a number of subscribers to Adobe’s Creative Cloud platform -- myself included -- started noticing that upon trying to use our applications or login to with our Adobe IDs, an error message would appear, deeming the applications and services useless.
During a chance meeting with Adobe last year at WPPI, photographer Benjamin Von Wong was asked if he’d like to take part in Adobe’s Creative Voices series, which features artists that truly take Adobe’s products to the next level and make incredible art. As an avid user of their products, Von Wong happily obliged and over the next year the rest fell into place.
After showing off early versions on photography shows and leaking a troubling $100/year Lightroom for iPad page momentarily earlier this year, Adobe has finally dropped the iOS version of Lightroom in our laps for free.
Well, actually, that depends. If you're a Creative Cloud subscriber, chances are this app was just dropped in your lap for free. If you're not, then Adobe has turned something of a cold shoulder to your plight... you can't even buy it.
According to Lifehacker, Adobe is currently sending out emails to notify users that they are resetting everybody's Creative Cloud 30-day free trial. If you've not given the newest versions of the software a chance and you're not one of the people who is dead set against it, now is a great time to see if what you're missing is worth jumping into the subscription model.
It's likely one of the reasons Adobe decided to shift to a subscription model was so that they could bring in more beginners and amateurs that had never had affordable access to the software.
For them, justifying a several hundred-dollar purchase wasn't always feasible, but $10 per month through Adobe's perpetually-extended Photoshop Photography Program is more than reasonable, and so we'd bet there are more beginners on Photoshop CC than ever before. Now the hard part... actually using the software.
Super helpful Photoshop CC beginner tutorial to the rescue!
The introduction of the new Perspective Warp tool (among other things) for Photoshop CC was met with a good deal of excitement by photographers. But if you haven't had a chance to play with it yourself, or you're still unsure exactly how it works from the intro video, the demo above should give you a much better idea of how to put the tool to use.
If you've followed PetaPixel even just the last month, you might have noticed that Adobe extended its Photoshop Photography Program (also referred to as the Photography Bundle) to people regardless of whether or not they own a previous version of Photoshop not once, not twice, but three times.
That is: this special promotion that allowed everyone to sign up was supposed to end on the 2nd... then on the 8th... and now is extended all the way to the end of the year. And while our you guys have come up with all manner of reasons in the comments as to why Adobe might be doing this, a new survey reveals the real reason: it's working really well.
A couple of weeks ago, we told you that Adobe was extending its special $10/month Photoshop Photography Program (better known around these parts as the 'Photography Bundle') to everybody, even if they didn't own a previous copy of Photoshop.
That deal was supposed to end on December 2nd but, thanks to widespread positive response from photographers, they've decided to extend the deadline to December 8th!
