As Adobe describes it, Lightroom CC 'is designed to be a cloud-based ecosystem of apps that are deeply integrated and work together seamlessly across desktop, mobile and web.'ĭespite the fact that it's cloud-based, Adobe says Lightroom CC is 'built on the same imaging technology that powers Photoshop and Lightroom.'

To be clear - because Adobe's new naming system is pretty darn confusing - Lightroom CC is a series of apps app and a service. For desktop users who prefer the current, non-cloud app, Adobe has re-branded it as Lightroom Classic CC. It features a streamlined version of Lightroom CC that keeps images, edits and metadata synced in Creative cloud across PC and Mac, Android and iOS. The centerpiece is an all-new Lightroom CC with a 1TB cloud service - the 'Project Nimbus' app that leaked last year. Adobe has unveiled a raft of new apps and updates for Max 2017, most notably a big revamp of Lightroom CC to make it more cloud-friendly for mobile users.
