![]() ![]() In the end, I usually get it down to around 75-100 images that I deliver to the client for viewing and product ordering.Ĭan you already see the issue here? This means that anywhere from 200-500 images are being imported that I either won’t need or will end up deleting shortly thereafter. So with a standard workflow, I would import them into Lightroom and then cull them down, first by deleting the error/bad shots and then by ranking the images into one of three categories. An average session for me will be anywhere from 300 to 600 images on my card. This is probably the biggest deal breaker for me, and I don’t even shoot the number of images a wedding photographer might. It’s not perfect, but I really enjoyed it.īy far, my biggest frustration with Lightroom CC is the inability to import images that you don’t want to sync to the cloud. ![]() It was honestly way more fun and much faster than I thought, to the point that I found myself wanting to edit on the laptop vs my desktop in order to take advantage of the functionality. My HP Spectre x360 happens to have a 4K touchscreen in it, so I often found myself flipping the screen around and processing images in Lightroom CC with my hands and the pen HP includes with the device.

But on the other hand, there were often times I found myself frustrated by a lack of functionality in terms of something that I could do in Lightroom Classic CC but couldn’t do in Lightroom CC. But, to get into the software itself, I found it was very much a double-edged sword for me on one hand, I really loved the simplicity of it, the intuitive layout, and the ease of making adjustments to images.

For some of this experiment I also had access to a and the XF 23mm F2. I utilized my HP Spectre x360 15” laptop, my iPhone 6s & Google Pixel 2 XL, as well as my usual photo kit consisting of a and. As well, I needed to try out as much of the functionality as I could to get the clearest possible picture of this software. The rules were pretty simple, if I could do it in Lightroom CC I needed to do it in Lightroom CC.
