Just the Smart Previews and regular Previews files for a single catalog of mine together take up more than 20GB on my portable drive. Otherwise, they'll use a huge amount of space out of your 20GB limit. Though it will work if you store your catalog in Creative Cloud, that only works if your catalogs are small and you don't use Smart Previews - which means you probably don't sync with the mobile apps and therefore have no reason to subscribe. Its database is based on SQLite, and that's why you still can't put catalogs on network volumes, either for personal or collaborative use. Lightroom remains hampered by its outdated architecture.

For more information, read my review of the previous version.

The last four modules are where you format output. Map lets you view photos by geotags or bulk add tags to untagged images. Develop is where the bulk of retouching and adding effects takes place. In Library you import and keyword photos and create collections, though there's a Quick Develop panel for quick-and-dirty adjustments. I'd heard rumors that LR6 would be moving to all subscription, but Adobe hasn't really added much to the mobile apps to make it worth it for a lot of folks.ДЇor those unfamiliar with Lightroom, the software consists of seven self-explanatory modules: Library, Develop, Map, Book, Slideshow, Print and Web. Thankfully, the company still offers a perpetual-license version ($150, ВЈ100, AU$186) in addition to its cheapest-option monthly photography plan ( $10, ВЈ8.60, AU$10).
