Instead, click that same down-facing arrow to the right and choose Other Versions. That will open a popup dialog with other versions going all the way back to Lightroom 5.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>What happens to my photos if I cancel Adobe?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Your Creative Cloud files are stored on your desktop as well as on the Creative Cloud servers. If you cancel or downgrade your paid membership, you still have access to all of the files in the Creative Cloud folder on your computer and via the Creative Cloud website.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Can Adobe Lightroom be purchased outright?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Here in April 2022, photographers can only use the latest version of Adobe Lightroom by paying monthly or annually as part of a subscription plan. These &#8216;Photography Plans&#8217; include online cloud storage space for your photos to be backed up, shared, and edited remotely on desktop or mobile devices.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Is it better to buy Lightroom or subscribe?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>If you want to use the most up to date version of Photoshop CC, or Lightroom Mobile, then the Creative Cloud subscription service is the choice for you. However, if you don&#8217;t require the latest version of Photoshop CC, or Lightroom Mobile, then buying the standalone version is the least expensive way to go.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>How do I uninstall Lightroom CC?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>To uninstall it, open your Creative cloud desktop app and click the arrow next to the OPEN button where it says Lightroom CC then choose &#8220;uninstall.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>How do I completely remove Lightroom from my Mac?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><iframe style=\"width:100%;height:420px;\" width=\"auto\" height=\"auto\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QF5cq-efhwM\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>How do I deactivate Lightroom?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>You have no way to deactivate the Lightroom app on the dead PC.

If you have Lightroom installed it&#8217;s best not to uninstall.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Do I need both Lightroom and Photoshop?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>So, in summary, it turns out that you need to use both Photoshop and Lightroom. But if you really want to choose only one, Marc would go for Lightroom. It enables you a fast workflow, but there are also plenty of editing options within the Develop module that let you edit photos and achieve a professional look.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>What does Lightroom do that Photoshop doesnt?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Lightroom helps you import, organize, manage, and find your images. In turn, Lightroom is photo management and photo editing, combined into a single tool. Unlike Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom is a non-destructive photo editor, meaning that you don&#8217;t have to worry about that pesky \u201csave as\u201d button.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>What is the purpose of Lightroom?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Whether you want to adjust brightness, clarity or any other such element, Lightroom offers slider-based controls that are very easy to use. Lightroom allows you to copy and paste changes across multiple images with just a few clicks \u2013 and it even asks you what changes you want to copy for faster image editing.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>How do I completely remove Adobe from my Mac?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>If the Adobe application folder exists, drag it to Trash. By default, the folders are located in the Applications folder on the hard disk. Drag the preferences folder to Trash from the Users\/[User]\/Library\/Preferences folder. (For example, drag the Acrobat folder to Trash.)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>How do I delete a Lightroom catalog?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Start Lightroom.

You can always add Photoshop to the mix later, if and when you&#8217;re in need of advanced photo manipulation techniques.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>What happened to Lightroom?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>What Happened?
