In our experience, Sensei wasn’t 100% accurate, but it should get better with time. Using object-recognition technology, Lightroom CC can search for objects and popular landmarks, which means even if you don’t organize your photos, you’ll probably still be able to find that photo you are looking for - at least, in theory. But Lightroom CC uses artificial intelligence ( Adobe Sensei) to search through your photos, a feature Classic doesn’t have. Lightroom Classic has Smart Collections to create custom automatic collections that Lightroom CC doesn’t have. Images are also automatically sorted by date and are accessible that way as well, without any extra steps to set up the dated albums. Lightroom CC switches to an album nomenclature, but albums work similarly to collections. A sorting toolbar that allows users to set parameters to see only specific photos like only flagged photos, or only flagged photos that were also edited. “Smart Collections” lets users create groups of photos instantly by setting parameters, such as selecting photos taken with a specific lens or images with a specific rating. Lightroom Classic organizes photos into collections and collection sets and includes an option to navigate using the folders on the desktop. Winner: Lightroom Classic Organizing photos This creates a simplified screen that’s easier for beginners to get started with but skips out on time-saving options and some metadata features some photographers use. Lightroom CC, on the other hand, has fewer choices, with the option to add to an album and apply presets. The import window includes options to add to collections, adjust metadata, add keywords, change the destination, and even apply presets while importing. While Lightroom CC is catching up, Lightroom Classic’s import options are the most varied. $9.99/month with 1TB storage or $19.99/month with storage and Photoshop $9.99/month with Photoshop (also includes Lightroom CC and 20GB of storage)
