- Lightroom Version Number
- 5.5
- Operating System
- macOS 12 Monterey
Hi all.
I'm on the Photography 20GB plan. I currently have both Classic and Cloudy installed, and I'm planning to migrate and use Cloudy exclusively. I just stumbled on the fact that LR Cloudy is available on the Mac App Store. I was a bit surprised since I though that the only way to install Adobe apps was via the Creative Cloud application that lives in the menu bar. The version in the App Store is the latest one (5.5).
I was wondering if people have opinions about whether it's better to install Lightroom via the "traditional" Adobe CC app route, or directly from the App Store? My gut feel is that the latter is cleaner (won't result in lots of other stuff being installed as well) - but are there any downsides? I don't use the CC app for anything except updating my apps, so maybe I'm missing out...
This is a theoretical question for now since I already have Lightroom installed, but I'm half-expecting to update my Mac at some point and it would be good to understand which route would be best when I do - install the CC app and then LR from there as normal, or just install LR from the App Store.
