Nov 10, 2015. Have finally decided to switch to Lightroom 6, and only because of the Aperture import plugins. Adobe has long had enough time to prepare the software on Mac OS 10.11, but it's all just about the Creative Cloud (which, incidentally, also does not run. I bought it at Amazon as a Download Version. Buy Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 6 (Download) features Photo Organization and Management, Raw Conversion, Non-Destructive Editing. Review Adobe.

9 Adobe Photoshop Lightroom is a simplified version of, the most popular software for image editing, which specializes in digital photo management. As it doesn’t include any of the drawing-related tools, Adobe Photoshop Lightroom concentrates on photo editing, offering an assortment of tools that correct and enhance your photos quickly and easily, with filters, tags, geolocation, and more. Professional editing for your photos With Adobe Photoshop Lightroom, you can analyze your images, adjust balance and exposure, correct details, straighten crooked photos, change the calibration, label and geolocate your pictures, and basically, work with virtually any photo digital format. Some of the new features in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom include a tool to create slideshows with your photos, and create albums or photobooks to print and share online. Another interesting feature of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom is that it’s integrated with Facebook and Flickr, so you can post photos on the social networks directly from the photo editor. With Lightroom, you can also organize and edit your photos anywhere and whenever you want.

You can edit any image, from a photo taken with your mobile device, to RAW images from your DSLR camera. The tools are powerful and familiar, and you can sync the edits between your mobile device and your PC.

Professional editing made simple If you're looking for a tool to correct and edit photos, Adobe Photoshop Lightroom is for you. Forget about drawing or design features, with Adobe Photoshop Lightroom you’ll have an automatic digital development room at your fingertips. New features The latest update of Lightroom includes performance improvements and better utilization of your graphics chip, automatic facial recognition as well as new panoramic and HDR photo features. Moreover it brings support for new camera image formats.

Changes • Adobe Photoshop Lightroom also works with Adobe Lightroom for iPad. You can sync your collection and edits between the desktop and iPad version so that editing your images on the move has never been easier.

Select the Upgrade instead of the Full version to get the discounted price UPDATE, October 18th 2017: Well, we all knew it was coming. Adobe finally killed Lightroom ‘Standalone’. No more perpetual-licence Lightroom, you’re going to need a subscription to Lightroom Classic CC if you want any more new features – or even to use any new cameras with LR, it looks like. Subscriptions make Adobe more money, more consistently, and there’s billions more people with a smartphone than with a desktop/laptop so it’s easy to see why they’re shifting to 100% subscription-based software, and especially why they’re heavily targeting the smartphone and tablet users of Lightroom CC. For now, though, Photoshop Lightroom 6 works just fine, and is still available on both Adobe’s website and Amazon, so this post is still relevant.

Grab it while you can! Original post: You can buy Photoshop Lightroom 6 as a standalone version with no subscription to CC in one of two ways: either purchase an upgrade for your existing earlier version of Lightroom 1-5 at Adobe’s website, or purchase a full copy of Photoshop Lightroom 6 at Amazon (where it’s cheaper than Adobe). Here’s instructions and links for both options! Buy the full version of Lightroom 6 If you just want the full product rather than the upgrade, Amazon usually sells Photoshop Lightroom 6 (standalone) for ever so slightly less than Adobe.com sells it. You can choose to purchase either the physical disc version, or a downloaded version. Either way it’s the official product, fully supported by Adobe.

To get the cheapest price make sure to switch to either the Mac Download or the PC Download version using the button on Amazon’s product page. Upgrade to Lightroom 6 from a previous version Adobe’s new online shop makes Photoshop Lightroom 6 very hard to find but trust me, it’s definitely there. The link above should take you to, filtered for Desktop apps, where you should see Photoshop Lightroom 6 listed. HOWEVER, sometimes it doesn’t seem to work! If the page that loads only has Photoshop Lightroom listed and not Photoshop Lightroom 6, reload the page a couple of times, which often works.

If it doesn’t, just scroll to the very bottom and click ‘‘ in the Adobe website footer. Then click the box that filters for ‘Desktop apps’. Then go through the multiple pages of products until you find Photoshop Lightroom 6. Last time I looked it was page 8. First, click ‘Buy’. Then to get the Upgrade price click on ‘Full’ and switch it to ‘Upgrade’. Then select the Lightroom version you’re upgrading from and you should get the discounted upgrade price.

How to upgrade the Lightroom CC Demo to Lightroom 6 The Lightroom demo is now only available branded as Lightroom CC, but don’t worry, you can switch the Lightroom CC Demo to a fully licensed Lightroom Standalone. Simply download and use the Lightroom CC demo as normal, ignoring any CC features (such as sync, etc – they won’t be available if you switch to Standalone). Then when you’re ready to switch from the demo to the full Lightroom 6 Standalone, simply follow, which I’ve copied below: 1. Launch Lightroom and select: Help >Sign Out (YOUR_EMAIL_ADDRESS) (Important: When you sign out of Lightroom the Creative Cloud desktop app may open and ask you to sign in again. DO NOT sign in to the Creative Cloud desktop app.) 2.

Relaunch Lightroom. Click [Sign In Now]. If you sign in with an Adobe ID that has an active Creative Cloud membership associated with it, you will NOT see the serial # screen as it will activate with your Creative Cloud account. Just head over to the Adobe instructions page where they’ve got more info about mixed licensing situations. Click [License This Software] 4.

Enter your serial #, then click [Next]. Note: If you’re upgrading from a prior version, have your prior version serial number handy to enter as part of the activation process. If you’ve lost your box and/or serial number – or can’t remember prior version serial number – sign into your account to view your registered product serial numbers. If you didn’t register your product, but you still have Lightroom installed and licensed, you can retrieve your serial # from the following location: Mac: /Users/[your user name]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Lightroom/Lightroom 5.0 Registration Note: You may need to access hidden user library files in OS X 10.7 or later: Windows: C: [your user name] Program Data Adobe Lighroom Lightroom 5.0 Registration Note: On Windows it will have the extension.LRREG 5. After licensing your software with your serial number, Lightroom 6 will launch! How to use Dehaze on Lightroom 6 Standalone One of the ways Adobe makes Lightroom CC more tempting is by withholding feature updates from Lightroom 6 Standalone. They do this by invoking a tax law that prohibits them from adding new features to a sold product *after* the quarter in which it’s released, a rule that doesn’t apply to subscriptions.

Adobe conveniently wasn’t ready to add the ‘Dehaze’ feature until right after the quarter in which they released LR 6 had ended, and therefore LR 6.1 doesn’t include the feature whereas Lightroom CC does. But if you’d like an easy workaround to get some of the Dehaze functionality in LR 6.1,! I hope this helped you! Hi Lucy, you can indeed.

Perhaps my links have changed, I’ll check. Are you logged in or out? I’ve just checked this, and when I’m logged out I can get to LR6 standalone this way: 1 – go to on a desktop or laptop and make sure you’re logged out 2 – scroll to the very bottom and click on the tiny text in the footer that says Products 3 – look for Photoshop Lightroom on the list of products and it should be around $149. 4 – click Buy and it might show you a choice of Standalone and CC, just click through to Buy the Standalone. 5 – select Full or Upgrade, and buy buy buy:) Just tried it (without the actual buying it bit), works here! Actually LR releases don’t really follow a pattern.

I suppose it sort of roughly-ish averages out to about 18-24 months apart, but that doesn’t sound so pithy.;) I take it LR5 didn’t receive any updates adding raw tethering for your camera when LR6 came out? Sometimes legacy versions do get small updates for stuff like that.

Otherwise, yeah you’ll need to upgrade if you want something only LR6 has. If you use LR a lot and can handle the new version, the upgrade price for standalone isn’t so bad. If you bought LR5 full price very recently, maybe contact Adobe support and see if there’s anything they can do for you? Worth a shot! Hi Manuela, thanks for commenting! Let’s see if I can help!

I’m not sure what your local Adobe site is showing you but here in the UK when I get to the Products page from the link I posted and scroll down to Lightroom and click ‘Buy’ it presents a short list of options: I want to buy, Platform, Language, Delivery and number of copies. At the top of the list where it says: “I want to buy: Full” there should be a triangle next to the word ‘Full’ and when I click the triangle it presents a drop-down menu with ‘Full’ and ‘Upgrade’ as options. I click ‘Upgrade’ and it presents a new option underneath called ‘I own:’ with a list of previous versions of Lightroom.

In your case you’d select ‘Lightroom 5.x’. If you get this far, the new upgrade price should appear. Click ‘Add to cart’ and when you checkout it will ask for all your previous Lightroom licence keys to confirm you qualify for the upgrade price. If you’re definitely not seeing the little triange next to ‘I want to buy: Full’ that allows you to switch to ‘I want to buy: Upgrade’ then first of all I’d try loading the page in a different browser. For example if you’re using Firefox, try Chrome, or vice versa. Also, make sure you’ve not turned off stuff like Javascript support and things, though I’m not sure what difference that would make but you never know! Finally if you still definitely aren’t getting that dropdown triangle next to the word ‘Full’ I would contact Adobe.

The upgrade price should definitely be available to you! Hope that helps! Okay, well, assuming you’ve booted from your LR external hard drive, and then downloaded the LR update to that external hard drive, and fired up the update file from the external hard drive, I can’t personally think of any reason at all why it can’t find your copy of LR5 on that external hard drive. If, on the other hand, the LR update has been downloaded to your computer’s drive, not the external, and launched from the computer, not the external, that might be an issue? Have you got in touch with Adobe to see what they suggest?

Hi Owen Thanks for your helpful advice on obtaining a Lightroom 6 downloadable upgrade from Adobe, which I have now done, only to discover that it looks no different from my previous LR v.5.7.1! (It has also created a completely separate LR launch icon leaving my previous version alongside, not that this is a problem). I cannot find the new features such as HDR, panorama merge, face recognition, etc that are supposedly in LR6, so what I have I got for my money? I feel somewhat cheated as Adobe do not make clear that the upgrade version does not include the features found on LR CC, which I do not want.

Can you shed any light on this please? Hi Val, first of all, are you absolutely sure you’re running LR6 and not LR5?

When you launch the app, if it’s LR6 you’ve launched it should say Lightroom 6 on the splash screen, if you have the screen enabled. With the app launched you can also go to the Lightroom menu (on a Mac, anyway) and it should say ‘About Lightroom 6.x.x – the x’s being replaced by whatever point version you are running. I am running Lightroom 6.1.1, not the CC version, and Face Recognition is available in Grid view by clicking the ‘face’ icon in the bar at the bottom, next to the ‘sort order’ buttons etc. And you can activate HDR by selecting some photos, then going to the Photo menu and selecting Photo Merge, then either HDR or Panorama. Hope this helps! Hi Bill, many thanks for the reply.

I’m afraid there’s no way that LR6 will launch without first signing in. I raised a support case with Adobe and was sent a page link for the LR downloads and updates (). It turns out the installer is identical to that provided with my purchase so, one re-installation on and I’m no further forward. What’s worse is that every time I wish to run LR, I have to first sign in and then enter the licence code. Perhaps I should opt to run as a trial for 30 days and then enter the licence code after expiry?

Anyhow, my support case with Adobe continues I want to install LR6 on my laptop too, but not until I can resolve this issue. It’s driving me nuts!

I think that you have been misinformed! I’ve never had to pay again to upgrade from a previous point release of any given major version.

6.1 to 6.2, or 6.x to 6.5. Only ever paid for 5.x to 6.x, or 4.x to 5.x, if you see what I mean. Once you’ve installed an official copy of any given major version of LR, any future updates Adobe releases for that version have always been free.

Standalone doesn’t always get the same updates as CC, though. Nothing you can do about that other than start subscribing to CC, but I’ve not felt the need to do that yet. Hi, I suspect what you’re doing is clicking on the product name for Photoshop Lightroom, which does indeed take you to the CC page for Lightroom. Don’t do that, click ‘Buy’ on the right. If you don’t see the Buy button then I’m not sure what’s happening for you here, sorry.

As a test I just clicked one of the links to Adobe in the blog post above, clicked on Buy next to the Lightroom listing, selected the ‘Upgrade’ product, selected the version I was upgrading from, and clicked the Buy button, and it was added to my cart no problem. As noted, Amazon doesn’t sell the upgrade, just the full version as either a download or disc, and it can be a tiny bit cheaper than Adobe for the same full version, yep:) •. None, I’m afraid, as when I upgraded from LR5, which itself was an upgrade from LR4, I didn’t expect a hassle and I didn’t get one;) Sorry I can’t be of more help, but the description of the issue doesn’t give me much to go on – what are the options it presents, and does LR6 itself launch, or some other Adobe app? I’d suggest contacting Adobe if you can’t work it out, or alternatively you could Google for the wording or options that you don’t understand, maybe others have had the same difficulty. Either way, I hope you overcome your LR6 problems! Hey Kurt, you’re welcome!

I don’t see any reason why not. I can export a catalog and email or Dropbox it to a friend to work on using their own copy of LR, then when they’ve done they can send that edited catalog back to me and I can re-import it to my own installation of LR. We’d need to be using the same major version, of course, but other than that yeah, it’s fine. Once you’ve installed LR6, when you launch it you’ll be asked to load an existing catalog or create a new one. Just load up your 5.7 catalog and it will ask you if you want to update it for use with LR6.

At that point there’s no going back to 5.7, so if you want to be extra double super careful you might want to back up your 5.7 catalogs to an external hard drive or something first, but I really don’t think it’ll be a problem. Well I’m sitting here making new marketing materials and surfing the web and get an email when someone comments;) Adobe are huge, I guess, and also it’s really not in their interest to promote LR6 when their future depends on subscription-based software. I really hope there’s an LR7 one day, I suspect it might be the end of the line for standalone LR soon. You could download the CC trial to check it all works, but like I say it’ll want to convert your 5.7 catalog to work with the latest version of LR, so make a backup first just in case. Also, the trial will run out eventually, although I believe you can still upgrade it to standalone LR6. Thanks buddy, that does not work either.

From the Help menu they only point me to the Creative Cloud stuff,, which is what I do NOT want. And on your link I cannot find an update from 6.0 (which I just downloadet yesterday, and works ok) to 6.7 And when I install the latest DNG converter from Adobes site, I still cannot see my RAW files. This is the most stupid software I have ever tried. I want to cancel what I bought yesterday, and find some simple software that works. BUT hey Adobe does not provide any e mail address so I can write them.

Trying to call them on the phone I was running in circles, no person to speak to This is a major fup, dear Adobe. Goodbye forever! Sorry to hear all that, but sadly I don’t really know what to suggest! First thing I would say, though, is why did you buy a whole new version of LR6 when you could have paid less to simply purchase an upgrade from 5.7 to 6 on the Adobe website? Regarding your catalog saying it’s LR 5.7, where are you seeing that? I only see the version of LR I’m running, I don’t see anything that says what version of catalog I’m running. And it shouldn’t be possible to run a catalog from a previous version of LR without it updating itself.

So, I’m confused, it sounds like you’ve got both LR5 and LR6 installed on your system and that perhaps you launched the app by clicking an LR5 catalog, which will have launched the older LR5 instead of LR6. But I’m just guessing.

I don’t really do Adobe support;) All I can suggest is, make sure you’re launching your LR 6 application, and when you launch it hold down the Option key (I think it might be Ctrl on a PC) and it should ask what Catalog you want to open. Load the catalog you want and if it was last used with a previous version of LR then LR6 should ask if you want to upgrade it to work with LR6.

Great info, thanks! I wondered if LR6 works with OS 10.9.5 — I read the specs that it does but I’m still not sure. I can update to 10.10 if I must, but any further than that I will have to really worry about all my other software working.

I’m concerned that I won’t be able update LR6 to 6.12 and use the latest ACR 10. Do you think I’ll be able to?

I went thru researching this all a few months ago when I wanted to buy a new camera, and thought I could find no option to upgrade a standalone LR or use the converter, which required OS 10.11 I think. Anyway, revisiting it now, I see I may have this option to use LR6 standalone without having to change much of my OS.
