So with the release of the new Lightroom CC I was super excited to look at the new interface. It's really one of my favorite designs. It's something that we creatives and artists look forward to. Maybe I can speak for all of us when I say we'd love to work in a very nice,clean, updated and simple area like anyone else would. That's what Lightroom CC is to me.
However, I can't say the same for Lightroom Classic CC. I am absolutely in love with the fact that Adobe is listening and finally speeding up Lightroom. We love the classic (pro) features that comes with it but I think we may be tired of the classic design. I totally wouldn't mind using Lightroom CC but as a wedding photographer there are several features I need from the classic version.
So my question is, can Lightroom Classic CC get an interface lift? I really think you can work on getting Lightroom Classic to look 2017-ish.
There are a few things (and also reasons) I'd like to see in an updated interface for the classic:
Thanks for reading. I just want to say that I'm saying this all out of love. Please don't take this as a rant. Lightroom is still the most essential and life changing part of my profession. Thanks for all you do Adobe! :)
I am hopeful and excited to know that Adobe will take this into consideration.

- Make better use of space - For us traveling photographers we don't always have the pleasure of working on a desktop display. For some of us we are using pretty small laptop displays and would love to work on our images at a larger size. So with that being said, I think Lightroom Classic CC can go on a diet and free up some of the useless space for our images. I always feel like the modules and text areas to be a bit obtrusive. I would like a slimmer, sleek design. Kind of like Lightroom CC
- Lightroom CC makes Lightroom Classic CC look kind of ancient. We love new and shiny things without compromise of function.
- Photoshop and Illustrator looks like updates programs. Lightroom Classic CC really looks like a sore thumb to these.
- It would be nice for the HSL to be included when using the brush tool. An example of this would be changing the hue of the oranges in a shirt without affecting the oranges in skin.
- I'd love for the healing brush to behave fast and as efficient as the brush in photoshop. I also wish there'd be an option for lightroom to disable the opaque white highlight that appears when using the healing/clone brush.
- After the release of Lightroom CC, I'm very jealous that the program doesn't suit me but the interface does.
