Like Apples built-in Photos app, Lightroom syncs between all your devices, keeping original photos in the cloud.

Catalog and Edit
Lightroom does two things.

It organizes your photos into a catalog, and it edits those photos.
Well get to LRC in a moment.
The real standout of Lightroom, though, is its picture editing.

Plus, the iOS version of Photos is hobbled, compared to the Mac version.
Lightroom, on the other hand, is a dream to use on an iPad.
And you also can find thousands of pre-made presets on the internet, and add them to Lightroom.
This is a nice way to get the look of a particular film, for example.
One other important feature is Lightrooms raw image support.
Lightroom has excellent raw support.
In short, its Lightroom, and its everywhere.
What About Lightroom Classic?
Everything above applies to Lightroom CC, Lightroom Cloud Ecosystem, or Lightroom (Cloud Service).
But theres another version: Lightroom Classic (LRC).
This was renamed Lightroom Classic, and it’s still maintained.
It also lets you create photo books and magazines, and more.
For advanced features like raw editing, youll need a $10-per-month subscription.
You might love it.
