Few years ago, Adobe diversified Lightroom into several products generating some confusion among the users of the program. On the other hand, it stopped the update of version 6 of a perpetual license, still available for purchase. In this article, we will explore the benefits of each “flavor” of Lightroom in Photolemur to help you know their differences.

The program was included in the photo subscription (Lightroom + Photoshop).
