Adobe Lightroom 4 is now part of Creative Cloud

By PR admin | Published: June 26, 2012

Adobe announced on their blog today that Lightroom 4 is now part of the new Creative Cloud service:

Creative Cloud is the digital hub that lets you download and install any of the new Adobe Creative Suite 6 desktop apps you want, plus cloud storage, device syncing, and the ability to easily publish, manage, and host websites through your membership.

Lightroom coming into Creative Cloud is a good example of why we think people will really love Creative Cloud — we can add new creative tools and members just get them at no additional cost – it’s as simple as that. We’ll be adding even more great stuff to Creative Cloud over time; Lightroom is just the beginning.
