Find Your Fit

Understanding the nuances between Lightroom Classic, Lightroom (cloud-based), and Lightroom Mobile is crucial for any photographer seeking an efficient and adaptable workflow. Each application caters to different needs, from local, professional editing to seamless cloud syncing and on-the-go adjustments. We’ll break down the key differences between these applications, so you can confidently pick the one that suits your workflow.

Classic Deep Dive

Lightroom Classic, the cornerstone of professional editing, focuses on local file management. Import images directly from your computer, organize them meticulously, and leverage advanced editing tools, including tethered shooting for studio work. Export your final edits directly to your local drive. Download the provided RAW file to follow along and experience the robust capabilities of Classic.

Cloud Connections

Lightroom (cloud-based) shifts the focus to cloud-centric workflows. Import local images or directly upload to the cloud for automatic syncing across devices. Explore the streamlined interface and discover how edits made on your computer instantly reflect on your mobile devices, and vice versa. Utilize the downloadable RAW file to practice cloud-based editing and masking techniques.

Mobile Editing

Lightroom Mobile extends your editing capabilities to your smartphone or tablet. Seamlessly sync with the cloud-based Lightroom and apply edits on the go. Experiment with radial gradients and vignette effects, witnessing how changes instantly update across all platforms. Use the provided RAW file to test mobile editing and see the cloud syncing in action.

This concludes Day 24! Tomorrow, we’ll dive deeper into the specifics of the Lightroom.
