Introducing: Lightroom CC, Lightroom Classic CC and Moreīoth are desktop applications, but the all-new Lightroom CC uses the cloud for image storage, while Lightroom Classic is disk file/folder based. The new version of Lightroom CC (2018) is actually a completely different app from the previous one, which is now called Lightroom Classic CC. If you have any further questions, then feel free to post back.

This demo will also show you how to rename the newly-combined catalog if you so desire.
#DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LIGHTROOM CLASSIC AND LIGHTROOM CC UPGRADE#
In any event, once the Lightroom 6/CC catalog upgrade process has taken place, you can go ahead and uninstall Lightroom 5 from your system and any time and then just carry on using LR6 instead.īut if you’ve done new work in two different catalogs in the meantime and now want to merge them into one single catalog, then you would need to use the “Import from Another Catalog” command from Lightroom 6/CC… Just follow the instructions given in this walk-through video for how to combine multiple LR catalogs: For more details on how to make a backup or how to move/migrate an older catalog into a newer release of Lightroom, see:Įssential Lightroom Help: The Adobe Lightroom Catalog FAQ Generally we recommend making a backup of your catalog(s) before proceeding with an upgrade, just to be safe.

The previews will also be moved to this location and converted for use with Lightroom 6. Lightroom will create a new catalog file in the destination indicated below. We need to upgrade your catalog for use with Lightroom 6. When you first installed and ran Lightroom 6/CC, it should have asked you if you wanted to migrate your current/existing catalog(s) to the new version: So you can have the two releases installed side-by-side on the same computer, or you can remove the older one whenever you want. That way there is no risk of interrupting your workflow if, say, some of your third-party plugins aren’t yet compatible with the new version, or if you want to take some time to transition over, get comfortable and come up to speed with the new release, or if there happened to be some features you’re using in the previous revision that were removed in the new version (none that we know of in this case).


Hi Peter, as with most major new Adobe releases, the previous version is not automatically uninstalled from your system – rather, that is left for you to decide whenever you are ready.

What we’d suggest is to go ahead and give the new Lightroom 6/CC free trial a go and see how it works for you… You can run it alongside your current version and uninstall the trial later if you don’t want to keep it, without messing up your photo catalog(s).Īnd if 30 days isn’t enough to fully evaluate the new software, then you could stretch out your free tryout period to 60 days. You can see some of these numbers given in the performance benchmark chart we included in the article above, with speed compared to Lightroom 5.

As long as your computer is 64-bit and running a supported operating system – plus has a GPU like most modern systems do (either integrated or a separate card), then what Adobe’s done in Lightroom 6/CC could make a big difference for you.Īdobe’s Terry White stated the following: “Even on computers that are 4 or 5 years old, the new version of Lightroom can now take advantage of the GPU (graphics processing unit) and accelerate the Develop module and Camera Raw to make everything faster – in some cases, thousands of percent (10X) faster.” We can’t say for sure because we don’t know all the specs of your machine, but it could well be worth the upgrade for you.
