Adobe has released a minor update to both Lightroom CC (2.2.1), Lightroom Classic (8.2.1) and Lightroom Mobile (4.2.1 for iOS & 4.2.2 for Android) to include support for some new cameras. The list is:
- Canon
- Canon EOS RP
- Panasonic
- Panasonic LUMIX DC-FZ1000M2 (DC-FZ10002)
- Panasonic LUMIX DC-S1
- Panasonic LUMIX DC-S1R
- Panasonic LUMIX DC-ZS80 (DC-TZ95, DC-TZ96, DC-TZ97)
- Sony
- Sony A6400 (ILCE-6400)
Adobe also released an updated Camera Raw version (11.2.1). This solves an issue from the last update when opening photos from Lightroom into Photoshop, if the photos were stored on a NAS.
How do I update?
To update, go to Help menu > Updates or click the Update button in the CC app. The update servers take a while to push the updates around the world, to avoid overloading the servers. You can also open the Creative Cloud app, click the … icon (top right) and select Check for Updates to give it a nudge.
I am so confused. I just updated my Lightroom Classic CC.
After updating, the shortcut on my destop no longer points to the original .exe file.
Also the CC is now gone.
From A to Z Adobe is so frustating. How doe they just delete things with no warning?
The CC is gone because they updated the app name. If the shortcut doesn’t go to the right place, just delete it and create a new one or update the path in the existing shortcut to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Lightroom Classic\Lightroom.exe
Lightroom has updated today to 8.3, but seems to have renamed itself Lightroom Classic (and has dropped the ‘CC’). Have they changed Lightroom’s name again? Or have I got the wrong program downloaded?
Yes, they have dropped the CC’s from the names of all of the Creative Cloud apps. It’s not a Lightroom-specific change. Since all of the apps are now part of the Creative Cloud, the extra letters are redundant. My post about 8.3 will go up in about 4 hours time when the press embargo ends, so watch this space.
Hi guys,
I wonder if anybody else is have problems after this update?
LR CC on both my macs are not online, they are not syncing, and all of my pictures are only accessible when I access via Chrome. Basically, LR is not working.
LR CC first crashed on my iMac before the recent update. I was in the middle of an assignment, so I updated LR on the iMac and kept working on my laptop. But even without the update, LR CC was acting strange. E.g. exporting pictures in 28000×280000 format. Somewhat more than I needed and had asked for.
I’ve been in contact with 4 different Abobe support people and none of them were able to get LR CC back online. They supposedly escalated the case, but I’m not getting any communication back, so I’m completely in the dark.
I’ve made the leap into the cloud workflow and I can’t say I’m happy with that decision at the time being.
Yikes! I haven’t heard of any reports. Is your Adobe ID the same as the email address you used here? I can pass it on to someone “in the know”.
Same problem. I finally ran the update today (4/20/19) and Lightroom CC won’t load on my Mac.
Tell us more Elizabeth? Which version were you on before? And what happens when you try to open CC? Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling?
Hi, I am in the USA, and I just bought the Canon RP so I am anxious for this update. But as of today, my software is not updated, and the “check for app updates” says there are none. Anxiously awaiting this!
Nice camera, Barry!
The RP is in the update, so check the update again as per the two comments at the end of the post (so within Lightroom and also on the CC App)
Also, which OS are you running? And it is Classic as a version?

Hi there
Just wondering if someone can help me… I’ve been using Lightroom 6 for ages and my Mac died on the weekend (I was due for an update anyway) so now I am trying to middle through the online and app version of the new LR and LRCC and I am struggling to export files back to my hardrive. I can’t rename files anymore or put them in subfolders or find where to adjust dpi etc…… all the standard things you would get in the export menu from all other versions of LR….. am I looking in the wrong place???
Sounds like you downloaded Lightroom CC, which is the new cloud-storage based one, rather than Lightroom Classic, which is the latest version on from Lightroom 6.
5th April, no updates, and official LR site says
“The latest/most current version of Lightroom Classic is 8.2”
??? Do you know if there is an issue with the update?
Thanks,
Gary
Hi Gary
No, update is there fine. I assume you checked the ‘How Do I Update?’ above. Logging out of the Adobe App and back in can sort sometimes. What version are you currently on, what OS?

They don’t publicize minor double dot releases in the same way as normal dot releases.
