In addition, Lightroom Classic supports 'Virtual Copies' you can create multiple versions of the same image, each with its own thumbnail, for saving and easily comparing different 'looks'. But Classic’s strength lies in its ease of use when batch processing synchronising edits across hundreds of images is quick and painless and allows only select changes to be synchronised between files. Red eye removal, and a few Calibration options seem to be the most that separate the editing tools between the two softwares. There are only a few extras that might be of use to professionals. Lightroom Classic matches Lightroom’s tools and improves on them but, surprisingly, not by much. However, you have to choose one version for the image thumbnail so the others are effectively hidden until you select and view the image. Lightroom also supports 'versions' within images so that you can try out and save different 'looks'. Other tools in Lightroom include crop and rotate, a healing brush, normal brush, linear and radial gradients, and options for keywording or synchronising edits across images. Changes to lighting, colour, effects such as texture and clarity, and detail sharpening or noise reduction, as well as optics and geometry editing is available under the Edit option. Image Profiles can be switched between for the best starting-point when it comes to contrast, colour, and levels.

With comparable editing tools, this is where the two versions of Lightroom are most similar. Using plug-ins can help speed up workflow and introduce bespoke styles and edit settings that might be hard to achieve with Lightroom Classic alone. There are a range of plug-ins available to add to Lightroom Classic’s suite of features which cover Adobe DNG processing, Develop presets, Export and Publishing plug-ins, external editing plug-ins and more.
Most Lightroom-compatible plug-ins have installers which do this for you. Then simply press the Add button in the left-hand column and navigate to your desired plug-in. Third-party plug-ins can be installed via the Lightroom Plug-in Manager – head to File>Plug-in Manager or press Ctrl + Alt + Shift +, to bring up the Manager window. Lightroom does not support external editors (except Photoshop) or plug-ins, but Lightroom Classic does. Lightroom only supports Photoshop as an external editor. Lightroom Classic supports external editors and a wide range of plug-ins, such as the DxO Nik Collection.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LIGHTROOM AND LIGHTROOM CLASSIC SOFTWARE
Either way, there’s a 7 day free trial for Adobe software so you can try before you buy. Users that simply require an image editor that synchronises across devices and is available on-hand might opt for the Lightroom plan, whereas anyone considering layers based image editing, or who want the extra features and tools associated with professional-level editing should take the other two bundle packages into account. Additional storage can be added and is organised into: 2TB, 5TB, or 10TB, starting at $9.99/£9.98/month per terabyte.
But it does have Lightroom Mobile thrown in for good measure. However, the Lightroom Plan (1TB) is $9.99/£9.98/month and offers the same amount of storage but only includes Lightroom, and not Photoshop or Lightroom Classic. The Photography Plan (1TB) is exactly the same but ups the standard 20GB of Cloud storage to 1TB and rings in at $19.99/£19.97/month. This includes Lightroom mobile, Photoshop on the iPad and 20GB of Cloud storage space. To purchase the Photography Plan (20GB) it’ll cost $9.99/£9.98/month and it comes with Lightroom, Lightroom Classic and Photoshop. Two versions bundle together Lightroom, Lightroom Classic and Photoshop but there’s only one option that provides Lightroom as an individual purchase. There are currently three photography packages for purchasing Lightroom via Adobe’s Creative Cloud.
