This is extraordinarily irritating. LR4 is the one application that I need Right Now. Photoshop and Illustrator and InDesign can wait. I'd like to get the creative cloud subscription as Acrobat and Dreamweaver and a couple of the other things are stuff I can make use of-but if I have to pay $aus110 to upgrade Lightroom and not get some discount off the creative cloud subscription once Lightroom is available, then I'm not going to do it.

Really this is a poorly planned roll out of the new subscriptions-initial promises to include the ioS apps which didn't materialise, failure to include the full range of apps for ioS ( the one I would really use, Kuler, is not available and AdobeIdeas has suddenly disappeared from the App store), similar promises to include Lightroom and then find its not available at launch.

I've got three weeks left of the LR4 trial. If it isn't included in the Cloud subscription by then, then I'll have to buy it, which means no Cloud for me. Couldn't you give some indication of when it would be available?

So, David_B, how do I interpret this answer? I too have been counting on Lightroom to be part of CC. I am in no rush, and can wait, but I would like to know something before my 30 day backout period for CC ends. The CC FAQ says that Lightroom is coming later in 2012. But, this can mean anything from tomorrow to 12-31-12. I'm not sure I relish waiting a real long time. Can you enlighten us as to an approximate date of availability? Your answer is the first one I have seen from an Adobe employee that seems to allow for the possibility that LR will not be part of CC. Did you mean for it to read that way? LR is important to me, and probably a lot of photography people, because I have no interest in the video editing apps in CC. Thanks very much.

Avaliable soon meaning SOON or we talking months...I need to figure out if I am shelling out extra now or waiting.
