However, though I could switch to large zoomable views of individual pictures, I couldn't compare the fine details of two pictures in a side by side zoomable view as I can in Lightroom Classic. Lightroom's sorting view (the Square Grid) allowed me to quickly click on star ratings for each image.

I particularly missed the speed at which I can rate and sort a large number of photos quickly, enabled by Classic's side-by-side view. However, you won't find the same features on Lightroom and Classic. (This review focuses on Lightroom rather than Classic.) Both are currently available (for the same price: $9.99/month), and Adobe has confirmed that it plans to support and improve both. The newer, cloud-based product is referred to as Lightroom. The original Lightroom, a high-powered desktop application long popular with professional photographers and enthusiasts, is called Lightroom Classic. PhotoshopĪdobe has created considerable confusion regarding the name Lightroom.
