Operating System: Windows or Mac, not important
Lightroom Version: The new CC product
(Please go to Help menu > System Info to double check the exact version number)
Question or Description of Problem:
As much as I like Lightroom, I have a workflow that includes another product, and potentially additional products in the future. If I commit (and that's the word) to Lightroom CC, am I committing to an Adobe-only workflow?
Can an image in Adobe's cloud be accessed by the OS (Windows or Mac)? Or by another app running on one of these platforms?
Turning the question around, can I use Lightroom CC with Microsoft's or Amazon's cloud?
Vendor lock-in went out of fashion 20 years ago. Users want the ability to create their own solution combining products from different vendors, all of whom are committed to "open systems."
