Lightroom Version: New CC/Classic Version
Correct Installation Steps Please, Sorry for a lot of questions
Hello
I have just bought a new laptop as well as downloaded - but not yet installed - the newest version of LR CC/Classic/Photoshop.
I have moved my photos to my D drive on my laptop, but not yet moved my catalog.
I have ZERO interest in using the Creative Cloud - I only want to use Lightroom "Clasic" and occasionally Photoshop.
If I understand correctly the correct installation procedure for a new computer should be
Copy Photos to new computer > Install LR/PS > Copy Catalog > LInk LR to Catalog
The Adobe Website page says this:
1) Locate and open the Lightroom_Set-Up.exe file (done)
2) Follow a few simple steps to install both Lightroom CC and the Creative Cloud desktop app (not yet done)
3) To install the other apps in your plan, go to the Creative Cloud desktop app (not yet done)
Now my questions
1) Is this telling me that I have to install the Creative Cloud? Is there a way to deactivate it, or simply not use it?
2) To install the " other apps"
Do they mean LR Classic and Photoshop? Why are they calling them apps and not programs? These are the latest, full programs, aren't they?
3) If I follow their steps will a new folder be created to then copy my catalog into?
Any idea what this new folder is called if there is one created?
I assume that the software will be installed on my C/Operating Drive
4) Do I only need to copy my latest Lightroom 5 Catalog.lrcat?
I also have a Lightroom 5 Catalog Previews.lrdata folder. Do I need to copy that also?
Thanks for any help
