Why isn't Lightroom available as a Desktop app in the Creative Cloud?

I guess I assumed Lightroom would be a part of the Adobe Creative Cloud and available for Desktop download? Is there any reason in particular why is it not? It's very disappointing....

Great News! Lightroom 4 is now available as part of the Creative Cloud membership! Learn more from Jeff Veen on the product team blog: http://adobe.ly/Lr4CCM

  • I have been subscribing to the 9.99 lightroom and photoshop for almost a year. Under apps in the Creative Cloud it shows that Lightroom needs to be installed.Why?

    I have been subscribing to the 9.99 lightroom and photoshop for almost a year. Yet when I go to the Apps tab on the Creative Cloud it repeatedly says I need to install lightroom. However, for photoshop it says I need to update the application. When I check in Lightroom under check for updates, it says my software is up to date. Why is this happening?

    Whenever Lightroom is shown as an install in the creative cloud manager, that is an indication that there is an update available. There is a Lightroom 5.7.1 update that has been released. But there isn't really an update process for Lightroom other than to install the newer version. The 5.7.1 update had some bug fixes and support changes for a Sony camera, I believe.

    Hi
    I'm trying to update my apps using the creative cloud desktop app. I can't see any apps in the app tab, the wheel just spins round and round and nothing happens. Has anyone got any ideas? I've tried uninstalling the desktop app and reinstalling but it still has the same problem.

  • Why does my vector drawing become pixelated once uploaded to the Creative Cloud?

    I'm drawing in Adobe Ideas on my iPad. I assume the only way to save it is to upload it to the Creative Cloud. When I go to view it in the cloud, it looks pixelated. Even when I download it, it is still pixelated. Why is this happening?

  • Will my CS6 app update to a CC app if I "Update" a CS6 app in the Creative Cloud Desktop?

    A. No. CS6 and CC apps reside independently on your computer.
    Note: In the Creative Cloud Desktop apps, scroll down to the "Find New Apps" section to see new CC apps, and click Install.

  • Why can't I download latest version of premiere through the creative cloud app?

    I just purchased a new computer and synced my creative cloud account.  It didn't download the latest version of premiere and says that I am up to date (which I am not.)  Anyone know why this is? and how to access the update for version 6.0.2?

  • Why isn't Lightroom included?

    Hi;
    I'm a long-time Adobe user (started working w/Photoshop in the 90's) who hasn't upgraded his personal software in a while.  Former employers had the application licensed at work, and Adobe's pricing on upgrades/suites just made it difficult and ultimately impossible for me to keep up.  Now we're here in 2010 and hooray I'm no longer working for the man, but that also means I'm facing paying for the full version on CS5.  And of course, it's cheaper to buy a suite of apps than it is to just get the two key apps I'll need, but that's a separate discussion.
    The question I've got, as the subject says, is why isn't Lightroom included?  From everything I've gathered looking at the Adobe site, it looks like Lightroom is a great companion tool to Photoshop.  I had hoped it would be included in the Production Premium suite (the one I need in order to get Photoshop & After Effects), but looking through the others (including the 'Master' suite) it appears to have been omitted completely.
    Why is that?  Is the program being phased out?  Is it not considered to be a professional creative tool?  I wish there was a way to BYO suite, since even the one that best suits my needs comes with over a thousand dollars worth of software I have no use for.

    First of all, to kill a potential rumor, Photoshop Lightroom is absolutely not being phased out in any way!!!
    Generally speaking, within Adobe, Lightroom is considered more of a professional photographer's tool than a tool for the so-called creative professional and thus not something that would be used in addition to use of a suite including Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, and Acrobat, for example. Typically, a photographer would do a certain amount of processing with Lightroom and pass the images off to those creative professional types who might further tweek or manipulate the images for publication either in print or on the web.
    Ideally, it would be nice to have a BYO suite but realistically it would be a nightmare to market and support such a product given issues of product installation, update, activation, etc.

  • Why files in Lightroom mobile and files in the creative cloud not the same? idea-  one place(stored date) for all application ??????

    Why files in Lightroom mobile and files in the creative cloud not the same? idea- one place(stored date) for all application ??????

    Lightroom Mobile is not a cloud storage service. You shouldn't treat it as a way of backing up your files. You are merely storing Smart Previews of your files in the cloud space, high-quality JPEGs of your files regardless of their original format on your desktop. The point is that they are there so you can continue editing them in a Lightroom-like environment even while away from your desktop/laptop computer. The files in Lightroom Mobile can only be used in Lightroom Mobile.
    This is very different from what is offered by the Creative Cloud storage, which can be used to synchronize your files between any device (that can support the individual files).
    The vast difference in how each service works and its intended use is why they are separate.

  • Why files in Lightroom mobile  and files in the creative clouds not the same?

    Why files in Lightroom mobile  and files in the creative clouds not the same?
    Idea was to store date in one place. I have subscribed to photographer option

    Do you mean you are trying to sync files from Creative Cloud to mobile and it doesn't work? I don't know much about Lightroom. It's better to ask your question at Photoshop Lightroom.

    I have the photographer plan With Photoshop and Lightroom. Now suddenly The creative cloud app says that Lightroom isn´t installed. It is and how do i fix this. I don´t want to loose any pictures. Tried logging in and out. Also restarted my Imac with no luck.

    This has nothing to do with your pictures. As long as LR works, nothing happens. The CC app merely has lost an entry in the installer database. Would a reinstall fix it? Sure. Is it necessary? Not really (until the next version or update). So unless you have too much time to spend or something isn't working, I'm sure you can find more interesting things to do with your tiem. Otherwise use the cleaner tool and get to it:

  • Why is the Creative Cloud desktop app not seeing that Photoshop CC is already installed?

    I have Photoshop CC 32bit and 64bit installed on a W7 64bit, 3770, 32Gb ram etc system.  No operating problems with Photoshop CC at all.  But I have just used the Creative Cloud desktop app (I'm not sure if "app" is the right term - it looks like a CC "Manager") - red icon - to update Photoshop CC.  No problems with this.  But curiously, where Photoshop CC is listed in all the available CC programs, its status is shown as "install".  It is already installed.
    Grateful for any explanation.  I'm not losing sleep over it, just curious.  Thanks.

    Make sure that your Language settings are the same between the apps and the Application Manager.  i.e.  Both English North American or English International.  (I had the same problem, and that fixed it.)
