Lightroom: Will there be a version 7 stand alone program?
Will there be an LR 7 stand alone program? Not everyone wants/needs all the programs in the CC.
PLEASE keep making stand alone programs for those of us who are hobbyists and enjoy the results we get from LR. I do not use/nor want PS or other editing programs and CC would be a waste of money for me. Again, please continue stand alone programs.
Will there be at least an LR 7?

Adobe hasn't announced either way yet, and no one who knows the answer is at liberty to share that information until there's an official announcement I'm afraid.

The confusion caused by the move to subscription based products has been frustrating. I have been using LR since v3 and really, really like it. I have no desire to switch or find a replacement and I would not even be thinking about alternatives except they keep making me feel uneasy about the future. I would like them to find a way to alleviate my concerns.
To me that would be a clear statement that they will continue to offer standalone LR or at least declaring that they would offer a long lead time before support is dropped.
In the mean time I'll keep being a happy LR user and try not to spend too much time looking at alternatives. My preference is to not spend any time looking at alternatives but the unease I feel means sometimes I do.

Basically, henceforth, you can rent Lightroom, but you can't buy it. (You can still buy Lightroom 6, but it won't be developed or maintained. At some point in the future, some features are going to stop working or are going to stop being compatible with new operating systems or external services like Blurb or Google Maps.)
This is a terrible shame.
Adobe, you've let us down by no longer continuing to develop a stand-alone, non-subscription version of Lightroom.

The impact of Adobe going subscription only might be that they become a 'pro brand only' as they already have effectively with After Effects and Premier Pro but does it matter ? Adobe leaves behind a useful legacy for stills and graphic images that has been incorporated and made compatible in their programs by many others in terms of the .psd and .DNG file formats so why worry ?
We have to accept that even in the Open Source Community software can stagnate or go in a direction we don't like but even then, your camera manufacturer will supply you with a RAW converter to good old TIFF, still probably the best long term survivor format and there will always be image editors to work them into a final image for print or the web.

My post was about when people/companies do things you feel are wrong/unfair/unthinking/whatever you have a duty of care to the world to state what you think and why, so that others in the future can't just make up a new 'truth' about it because there was no evidence to the contrary.
Stand up for your thoughts and share them, even though it mightn't seem to make a difference at the time. Then, move on. And if enough others share your views and make them known, then things might start to change, albeit slowly.
But if you get to the point where you think there's no point complaining, then you're choosing to not make a difference, and just allowing others to be free to trample all over you.

This forum also serves as Adobe's official feedback channel for Lightroom. Adobe may or may not choose to take the comments here to heart, but they invited us to express our comments about their products here.
Nobody is complaining or moaning. We're providing constructing feedback to a company that has historically sought -- and, often, heeded -- its customers' advice.
Please, let's keep it to that.
