Adobe Lightroom v6 vs CC versions
Introduction
Lightroom v6 was the last version, introduced in 2015, that Adobe allowed you to purchase (no longer available for purchase) and use forever without ongoing fees - albeit without any updates making it potentially incompatible with your new camera's RAW file and eventually it will become incompatible with your operating system and become redundant
Lightroom CC is the current version with a dumbed down re-designed user interface, which is continually updated but to use it you must pay an ongoing monthly subscription fee, as a result many people are switching to other
image editing software
Lightroom Classic CC is the current subscription only version with the old user interface of LR 6 but newer features
Benefits of Lightroom Classic CC over v6
launches faster (v6 is extremely slow to launch)
generates previews faster
imports and exports faster
switches between modules faster
all recent cameras are supported eg. Sonya7III is NOT supported by v6
Cloud syncing with LR mobile, etc
bundled with Photoshop CC
BUT the CC version will not run on Windows 7 - you need Windows 10 or you need to use LR Classic which is included in the bundle
new features in LR CC:
