    question: do you /others suggest using Lightroom Classic over Lightroom? Do features differ? is one better? Thanks and great video

    • @RunNGunPhoto
      @RunNGunPhoto  8 місяців тому +1

      Lightroom Classic *is* Lightroom.
      The other option is LR CC/Cloud, which is similar to Classic, but lacks lots of features and capability. There is also the LR Mobile app, but I don’t encourage people to edit their images on a phone.
      Stick with Lightroom Classic and you’ll be happiest.
