(This Mrs. Yahnig) I've been using using LR CC for a while now, and my husband gave me the awesome gift of Classroom in a Book. I noticed I don't have the same options on the Import screen. We've made sure everything has been updated. I have LR CC 2015, LR Classic CC V7. According the book I should have File Handling, File Renaming, Apply During Import and Destination. I have only the first two. Can someone advise if I am using the wrong program/version?
Which version of Lightroom are you talking about, and which version of Classroom in a Book are you talking about? Are you aware that there is an all new version of Lightroom CC that is completely different, and that the traditional Lightroom that we are accustomed to has been rebranded as Lightroom Classic CC?
I have the Classroom for LR V6, and I have Classic V7 and CC V5. I have managed to work around the differences but wanted to see if I should be using something else.
Unless there has been a Classroom in a Book released in the last couple of weeks specifically for the NEW Lightroom CC, I suspect the book you have isn't going to be much help in learning this NEW program. It is completely different, doesn't use a catalog, has a completely different interface, stores images in the cloud.
Thank you for the fast reply and the info. I was not aware. Bummer! I was excited to finally get into learning how to use the program. The editing functions seem to be similar, so I may keep going to see what I can learn from that aspect. The results of editing in my first lesson were incredible!
If you're serious about learning from the book, my advice would be to stick with Lightroom Classic CC. It's a much more complete and mature program right now. The new Lightroom CC doesn't have a lot of the features that Lightroom Classic has, and it won't have them for a while. It will eventually be on a par with Classic, but don't confuse yourself right now. That's my advice, but you can do what you want.
