For beginners I recommend reading about all plans and choosing the most suitable one. Many photographers choose the most expensive plan, thereby gaining access to all Adobe programs. offers three separate plans that include Lightroom СС and the purchase of Lightroom 6 as a separate product.

The CC version obviously operates differently from a revenue recognition perspective, which allows new features to be added without the same constraints as the perpetual license version.īottom line is that LR6 perpetual is no different to all the other LR previous versions in the way that updates are delivered, it's the CC model that's different.Despite the fact that Adobe hides Lightroom 6 quite well on its website, you can still find it officially. Unfortunately, the release of 6.1 fell outside the accounting period of the 6.0 launch, hence no new features for the perpetual license version. At the risk of being scolded by John Beardy again, I'll just say that Adobe cannot/will not/have always chosen not to include new features in any dot release unless the dot release falls within the same financial accounting period as the initial launch of the version (so for example only 4.1 and 5.2 got new features in the version 4 and 5 cycles). The reason for that is nothing to with any attempt to 'drive users to the subscription model', as many conspiracy theorists like to maintain, but has got everything to do with the way that Adobe's revenue recognition procedures are set up.

LR6 perpetual will follow exactly the same path as all previous LR versions, the only difference being that it didn't get any new features in the first dot release.

possibly some features updates in the first 'dot release' of the cycle, but all subsequent 'dot releases' were the bug-fix/new camera support type. And that pattern is exactly the same as in all previous LR versions, i.e. We did get some small feature updates in 5.2, but all updates after that were simply bug-fixes and new camera/lens support. For a start, there was no 5.1.in order to align the numbering systems of ACR and LR, we skipped 5.1 and went directly to 5.2 from 5.0. This is not accurate.we did not get 'free feature updates' in LR5 with updates 5.1 to 5.7.
