Looking to buy Lightroom Adobe Photography Plan. There are a rangeof Subscription options concerning Cloud. For example. there is a $9.99 option with LR Classic, LR CC, Photoshop and CC for 20GB. The same software with one TB for $14.99. I have seen various articles about Adobe increasing the pricing for their cloud. Can one use another (potentially cheaper) Cloud service or is there an inherent need to use the Adobe cloud for LR.
Guys many thanks for the very detailed and quick responses and I wait with great interest to other inputs.
As you have clarified the capabilities of optimization of LR and which answers part of the editing “strategy”question I had, leads to the following questions, both related to other costs
i. LR Presets. There appears to be a plethora of (limited) free and (multiple) purchase options. I have seen a lot of common categories (Portrait, Landscape, Monochrome etc.) but.....
a. How difficult and time consuming is creating one’s own preset (categories)? Is there a recommended standard process for this?
b. How does one make the best/optimum choice between similar third party preset offerings or are they pretty much awash in terms of effective solutions? (Obviously important if the free ones are of a similar standard to purchased options.) I understand the subjective nature that beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder.
c. Any recommendations on the BIC third party offerings (free and purchased) that contributors have found.
ii. LR Training. Depending on the number of presets that might be acquired, presumably primary use of the editing tool is for those that don’t fall into a preset category that have been acquired. Which leads to the level of utilization of the editing capabilities and the respective training issue. As there is a vast range of training options with books, videos, You Tube et al. any recommendations introductory and next step courses?
I am evaluating subscribing to the Adobe Lightroom “Photography” offering that covers: Lightroom CC, Lightroom Classic CC & Photoshop CC. I understand the difference in buying versus subscription specifically the software updating drawbacks around the purchase option.
My understanding is that Photoshop is an editing tool versus Lightroom's capabilities also in editing and its' organizing capabilities.
What I would like to understand is the specific differences in "editing scope" between Photoshop versus Lightroom. I have got hold of a free 7-day copy of Lightroom Classic and got a feel of its capabilities while playing around with the menu from WB through to Calibration.
Does Photoshop (i) do all, or the majority, of the Lightroom Classic capabilities (in a similar or dissimilar way) (ii) edit “better” than Lightroom Classic (iii) or are its' editing capabilities more around "Lens Correction" and "Transform"
Depending on the answer to this scope question I will have follow up question(s) on Lightroom presets and overall strategy for utilizing this Adobe offering.
TIA
Thanks for the input everyone
One if the responses confused me ...
hence the question
If I go for EF S 10-18 or 10-22 do I need an adapter for my T6?
You guys are great in responding so quickly. My major focus for a wide angle lens is Landscape, does this change any of the recommendations? Off to New Zealand in the spring and would love to develop my landscape capability before I get there and hate to come back with sub par results.
Recently started using a DLSR (Canon EOS T6). Currently have a 18-55mm kit lens and recently purchased a Canon 1.8 nifty fifty plus a Canon EF 55-250 mm. Need advice on a wide angle lens. I have seen recommendations for 16-35, 10-22, 10-20, 8-16, 24 and 35. Happy to buy second hand and non Canon (I am aware of Adorame et al); but would prefer glass as may move to FF if I really get the bug
