Well that kills it for me.It's true. So far. As has been pointed out several times, LR CC is only at version 1, and will have stuff added to it in future.
Very early days seems accurate. I'll sit back and wait, tone curves, printing, hierarchical keywording,. I'll monitor the forum, keep updated on the expert reviews and keep my fingers crossed. The overall concept seems great, cloud storage, usage across different hardware, but its got a long way to go.Killing the baby before it's taken its first breath Andrew? You'll hear the fanfare when it's added, I'm sure, and then you can see if it suits you. It's very early days.
There is a product management concept called, "Minimum Viable Product," meaning which features must be in the product for it to be viable and competitive in the marketplace. Without printing, etc., etc., I would argue that Lightroom CC is not viable in the market for many people.Killing the baby before it's taken its first breath Andrew?

How do we know that updates to address deficiencies will be immediate?There is no excuse for Adobe to publish a product that requires immediate updates to correct oversights.
This baby might be stillborn. Do consider that. There is no reason for any of us to be Adobe "Fanboys".Killing the baby before it's taken its first breath Andrew? You'll hear the fanfare when it's added, I'm sure, and then you can see if it suits you. It's very early days.
Like the import dialog fiasco with 6.04 if I recall?This baby might be stillborn. Do consider that. There is no reason for any of us to be Adobe "Fanboys".
Lightroom 6.2 if I'm not mistaken. That was different because that was a bad change of an existing product. Lightroom CC is brand new and version 1.0. It's obvious that some functionality is still missing.
Yet it is being promoted as if it were the future and fully developed. If Adobe had said. "Here is our first release of what we hope to be our new flagship Product. Now all of the important features are there yet but stay tuned..." Then Lightroom CC would have been received for what it is, a start at making LR available through the cloud. All of the promotion is on Lightroom CC and none on Lightroom Classic. The Advertising hype implies that everyone should move to the cloud platform and pick up their workflow from where they left off. This is misleading and causes great confusion from those that NEED a fully functional LR app. Compounding that with the simultaneous gnashing of teeth over the demise of the perpetual license. Adobe deserves all of the bad press that they are bringing on them selves.Lightroom CC is brand new and version 1.0. It's obvious that some functionality is still missing.

It's like saying that a six month old baby is the next president of the USA. No, I don't think that is a good analogy, because that is already true.
See what happens when you promote something that is ready before it is ready... "Trump, the cloud based app formerly known as Lightroom CC"It's like saying that a six month old baby is the next president of the USA. No, I don't think that is a good analogy, because that is already true.
I can't answer that, but why didn't you advise him to upgrade to Lightroom Classic?I know this is an old tread but I couldn’t see a new one. I encouraged my dad to upgrade from v6, when it stopped working after latest Mac Software release (yes he should have waited), to the shiny new Lightroom CC. He tells me it can’t print; My question is whether we think it is a function that will ever be added or not. Any thoughts? Many thanks! Mark .
Well the full detail, if it helps, was that I actually recommend he let me review which one to go for. (Since I use classic) However he’s an impatient fellow and just returned from a tiger watching holiday and couldn’t help himself. He thought 1TB of storage was good and he didn’t use Photoshop so ‘no brainier’ right? To be fair though; even if I’d done the research I think I wound have still just assumed you could print.I can't answer that, but why didn't you advise him to upgrade to Lightroom Classic?
