You posted your question in two places.   I tried to answer your question here:   Which is Better?

[MelissaLA88]

I think this largely depends on what you already do and what you might wish to do. I personally like the Creative Cloud because I get the updates. Would you mind telling us what you do and/or what you wish to do? Are you a hobby photographer? Someone who shoots all the time?

[mackp14847639]

I am a photographer who shoots a lot. The thing is, is I feel like I don't get all of the things in LR CC that I would in the classic.

[MelissaLA88]

At this time, that is a correct statement. Lightroom CC does not have all of the features that Lightroom Classic has. I am hopeful that this will change with time. I was fortunate enough to speak to some of the people on the Lightroom development team at Adobe MAX and they assured me that they would not be getting rid of Lightroom Classic just because we have Lightroom CC now.

I am a photographer as well and I am currently still using Lightroom Classic. However, I have played with Lightroom CC and I can see how it might be useful for some. For me personally, I would run out of the cloud storage space very quickly and I really do not want to pay for extra storage at this time.

I hope that helps a little

[mackp14847639]

yes it does! So if you were me would you stay with Lightroom Classic?

[MelissaLA88]

For now, I would say yes. That is personally what I am doing: Sticking with Lightroom Classic. This doesn't mean I'll never use Lightroom CC. I really think they will add more features in the future and it will make it worth using!

[Jao vdL]

Yes but it is going to take quite a few years realistically

[MelissaLA88]

Absolutely! I never said it would happen quickly! lol These things take time

The stand alone LR6 will work with your Canon Rebel t5i. But Adobe stops supporting LR6 perpetual after the end of this year. So if you invest in a new camera in the future it will not recognize the raw Cr2 files. No problems if you only shoot jpeg.

Lr CC has automatic backup to the cloud and all your photos will be available on any mobile phone or tablet.

Victoria (Lightroom Queen) has a useful flow chart to help you decide what type of subscription may be best for you unless you stick with Lr6.

The thing is, is I just wish that I had all the things in LR CC that I would have in Lightroom Classic. So hopefully LR CC gets updated with all the things LR classic does.

It’s a brand new desk top app, built from the ground up, a 1.0 version like Lr classic was 10 years ago. You can be sure Adobe will keep adding features with each update.
