Excellent product but worth getting a training DVD Lightroom 6 is a really great product. However, it contains a huge number of features which are not neccessarily obvious. I bought a training DVD which has been really useful and is very easy to follow. Once you understand what the features are and how to use them, you realise just how powerful Lightroom 6 is. As a newbie to photography I am really enjoying using my new camera and Lightroom, but I doubt I'd have got very far without the training DVD - the product has so many features it was quite overwhelming at first.
Adobe Photoshop Lightroom is one of the best photo management and editing software available. Its comprehensive cataloguing features, non-destructive en masse image editing, and RAW importing are extremely useful to photographers who have to effectively manage a lot of photos at once. Share your photographs with loved ones, clients or an even bigger audience. Post photos directly to social sites. Showcase them on your website by sending them directly to Adobe Portfolio from Lightroom on your desktop. Create stunning graphics, web pages and video stories in minutes with Adobe Spark. It's all included in your membership.
Once you get the hang of it, it quickly becomes really easy to use. I would definitely recommend this product. Verified purchase: Yes Condition: New.
Make sure you click the Buy button If you want to buy Lightroom with a normal, perpetual licence, don’t try going via Lightroom’s main page – it will only lead you off into the cloud. Instead, you need to go to Adobe’s Products listing page. Here are the steps.
Go to the Products page for your country or region:. For other countries, follow the USA link and select Choose Your Region. If you don’t see Choose Your Region, and an incorrect local office is shown, choose Change rosclear 2. Make sure you click the Buy button. Don’t click the link to Photoshop Lightroom 6 as that just takes you back to Adobe’s standard Lightroom page where you get pushed towards CC. Instead, click Buy which brings up this much more obvious screen: 3.
Choose the Full or Upgrade version as appropriate. Disable driver signing protection. I think the purchase should be obvious from there, and you should get a serial number. When you install Lightroom, you will have to sign into Adobe Creative Cloud.
You may be lucky and notice a Licence this Software button – if so, ignore this step. But if you do find you’ve already gone into Lightroom, go to the Help menu and make sure you sign out. Restart Lightroom and you should be asked to Sign In. The next screen is this, so click License This Software: 7. Now enter your serial number and you should be good to go. If you have a CC licence and a perpetual serial number It’s messy if you have a CC licence and need to install Lr on an extra computer.
As you can run CC on two computers, you can always deactivate the CC installation on one computer and activate it on a third. But that’s tedious and so a few people buy an extra, perpetual licnce copy of Lightroom and want to use its serial number to install on the additional computer. The trouble is, the installation routine asks for your Adobe ID, and then recognises you’ve already activated your two installations. The official solution is in Adobe’s note on (my italics): If you have both a membership and serial number for Lightroom CC and want the option to enter a serial number with installation, you will need to sign into ie install Lightroom with an Adobe ID that does not have a Lightroom membership associated with it. Simply create a new Adobe ID to sign in with.

Logging into Installing and then starting Lightroom with an Adobe ID with no active Creative Cloud memberships will allow Lightroom to ask for a serial number. So create that account, ensure you’re signed into it on the computer which is going to have the serial number Lightroom, and then install Lr. Start it and you should be able to enter the serial number. Don’t shoot the messenger. If you’re still in trouble. I recommend looking at:.
If you still need help activating your product,. Via Twitter, is a good way to get a human to help you. This is AWESOME! Thank you, you just saved me couple hundred bucks!
These instructions work very well for US site. What you need to do is: 1. Navigate to, 2. Hit ctrl+f (or option+f) to start search; type ‘products’ 3.
Click ‘view all products’. It’s a TINY link at the bottom of the site 4. DO NOT CLICK ANYTHING ON ALL PRODUCTS LANDING SITE! You will see (among other things) Lightroom CC by default. DO NOT CLICK ANYTHING WITH CC IN THE TITLE. There is a ‘search’ bar saying ‘search all products’. Type in ‘lightroom 6’ there.
You will likely find only ONE result that will be ‘Photoshop Lightroom 6’ (note: no CC) 7. Click ‘buy now’. It costs $149 for full version or $79 for an upgrade. With the old Lightroom 5, it was possible to have installed the following (as I did):. Lightroom 5 (perpetual version).
Photoshop CS6 (perpetual version). Photoshop CC I’ve bought Lightroom 6 (perpetual version) and I also have CC; but I find that I can only license Lightroom 6 by entering the serial number after first signing out of CC (so my Photoshop CC doesn’t work anymore). If subsequently I sign into Photoshop CC, my Lightroom 6 becomes Lightroom CC version rather than staying as Lightroom 6.
I tried that – “two Adobe accounts – one for CC and another for the perpetual” – but: (i) If I use the non-CC Adobe account, then I can enter the serial number into Lightroom but my PS CC no longer works. (ii) If i use the CC Adobe account, then my PS CC works but Lightroom (even though I put in a serial number before) becomes Lightroom CC! (In other words, if I sign into CC using a specific Adobe ID with one app (either PS or LR), the system automatically signs me into CC for the other app using the same Adobe ID.
It doesn’t allow me to sign into PS using one Adobe ID and LR using another Adobe ID.) I saw on the Adobe forums someone else with a similar problem. He has an Adobe CC account and has PS/LR installed on the maximum of 2 computers. He bought a perpetual licence to have a third install of LR but when he enters his Adobe ID into LR, LR says he is up to his maximum of 2 installs and doesn’t proceed to ask for a serial number for a perpetual install as an alternative! “why do you have perpetual as well as CC?” It’s not due to cost. I’m forced into CC because that’s the only way of getting the latest version of Photoshop although I’d prefer a perpetual version. For LR, I know I already have it included as part of my monthly CC but I still want in addition a perpetual licence of LR because (i) it’s available and (ii) of a (perhaps unfounded) concern that a “rented” copy (which checks every 90 days in theory) may at a bad time go down suddenly whether due to a software glitch or something. I want the certainty of entering a serial number into LR and knowing that it should remain licensed.
Hi When I follow the steps above for buying a LR6 upgrade from LR5 on store2.adobe.com/dk (for Denmark) everything is fine till I get to the checkout page. Here I would expect to enter credit card information, but nothing happens.
Instead I see a reference to a phone number which states – after a couple of specifications og what the problem is – that it cannot help me. Does Adobe really want to sell the standalone version, or are they just trying to annoy customers to buy the cloud solution?? Regards Johannes. At a slight tangent – I’ve been impressed with Capture One lately and MacPhun Intensify Pro. Intensify is a Lightroom plug-in, but C1 is fiddly to integrate with Lightroom. A big thing about C1 is that it appears to do better RAW conversions than Adobe. Unfortunately it loses some of its edge when operating on DNG files.
It does have a respectable looking database. It has layers and basic masking. A big thing about Intensify Pro is that it its cheap, has an excellent interface and the cleanest approach to layers. Only One Perfect has decent masking options. Their luminosity mask is a step up.
I find myself trying the different software on old favorites and close inspection usually gives the prize for surface satisfaction and tastefulness to C1. But the prize for speed and drama to Intensify Pro. These ramblings are prompted by a feeling that Adobe is becoming manipulative and i like to business with counter-parties that I like.
