And, I do make two backups. Apple's time machine makes back-ups in the background about every half hour or so. I plug my second 5TB backup HD in about once a month and make a secondary back-up. I'm past due.

Apple just updated it's OS. Ever since then DxO Optics pro and PS hic-cups when moving files be in and out of LR. I can get around it by importing the missing files. The programs seem to be fighting over who is going to use the external HD. I'm sure they will get it all straight and be playing nice together in a few weeks. I have seen this every time a new update comes out.

BTW, I did a little work on this image today in PS. I need to work on how I place my flashes but for now this may be the best photo I have taken this past week. It's the one I got to beat tomorrow.

My hummingbirds are well trained now and I can better predict where and when they will arrive.

You're right, the latest NON Cloud-Based version is Lightroom Classic. Adobe seems be trying to push us into the Cloud version because every time I open it, it defaults to ALL APPS (circled in yellow), where if not paying close attention, it'd be easy to accidentally INSTALL cloud-based Lightroom.

You need to click on INSTALLED APPS (circled in green), before selecting Open.

I'm also wondering about the differences of Photoshop CC (v 20.0.4) vs (v 19.1.8) and if there's a price change involved. I clicked on "What's New" but never finished reading.

I turned on my computer today and was greeted with a notification from Adobe that yet another update was available to "Adobe Lightroom Classic" because the prior one had some errors. On my launchpad it's referred to as "Adobe Lightroom Classic CC", but the icon looks the same with square corners in the frame (not rounded). I took a chance and downloaded it. I then launched the program from my launchpad and there were no problems. I'm no longer sure what that "CC" stands for?! I do know that I do NOT store images in a remote "Cloud" but I do pay a monthly fee to keep LR and PS current. I think I'm using the classic. God only know what that second C in the "CC" stands for. (Maybe "Confusion")
