Adobe today released updates to the Lightroom CC cloud-based desktop application (version 1.3), as well as updates to Lightroom CC iOS and Android (aka Lightroom mobile). An update to Lightroom Classic was also released – see my Lightroom Classic article for details on this.
To update Lightroom CC Desktop, go to Help>Updates, and on the Apps tab click on Update next to Lightroom CC (not Lightroom Classic or Lightroom CC 2015!).
To update Lightroom CC iOS or Android, find the app in the App Store (iOS) or Google Play Store (Android) and tap on Update.

Now throughout the Lightroom ecosystem (Classic, CC Destop, iOS, Android, Web), choose from dozens of color and black and white profiles to get your photo editing off to a great start.

very happy to have Geometry now on iOS..but now a grid option is needed, otherwise geometry is quie unuseful
I agree, Lorenzo.
if I remember right (i’ve just tried it very fast) grid tool is not great in Lightroom CC too
I just found your site and have found it extremely helpful but sadly subscribed to Lr CC (Cloud) version before I found your site. I still have 7 days to change my mind so need your help. I previously used Lr 6 and was happy with it but liked the idea of being able to view/edit pictures while traveling. From reading your articles and watching a video I’m still not sure which application is best for me. I’m an amateur that loves to take animal pics and enlarge them as well make books of my travels. I read that in CC they limit the quality of the output on the photos for enlargement. I didn’t understand exactly what it means but want to make sure that my photos can be enlarged to say 48″ (if the quality of the original is good enough) but do remember having to adjust the photo quality when I exported previously. Is there a way to download the original after edits in Lr CC so that I can then upload to another site for enlargements or will I be stuck? I’m assuming I can export my photos then upload separately to Blurb for the books. Thanks for the help!
Hi Jan, regarding exporting from LR CC and then adjusting elsewhere, ideally you’d export a TIFF file so that you wouldn’t be compressing the file (as a JPEG) as you’re exporting it and then compressing it again elsewhere – but LR CC doesn’t allow export to TIFF at this point. Also, there’s no output sharpening – which IMO is very important when making big enlargements. You could export the raw file (with adjustments) and then resize and sharpen in Photoshop or Photoshop Elements, but it’s an extra step. If in your first week with LR CC you’re finding you need to develop workarounds to its limitations, I think that it is a sign that you might be better off with LR Classic – unless you’re not comfortable with the idea of managing and backing up your files.
and unless you’re not up for the steeper learning curve of Lightroom Classic. (I can help you with that though with my Lightroom 5, 6 and Classic 7: The Fundamentals & Beyond video series.)
