Creative professionals would be happy to hear that Adobe Lightroom has made its way into the Mac App Store. Adobe’s professional photo editing application can now be directly downloaded from Apple’s own store. This may not seem like it, but it is a promising move on the part of Adobe.
Currently, if you want to download any of Adobe’s professional applications, you must do so through the Creative Cloud application, which is a separate download from Adobe’s website. Now with Lightroom being directly available from the Mac App Store, it would save Mac users a significant number of additional steps.
The Adobe Lightroom available is the full-fledged photo editing application, known as Lightroom Classic. The application is free to use for a week, after which, you must pay $9.99 monthly. What is interesting is that this subscription is paid through Apple’s in-app purchasing system, and not directly to Adobe.
This is the first of Adobe’s professional apps returning to the Mac App Store, which is a good sign for Mac users. The last time Adobe Apps were found on the Mac App Store was back in 2012, when Adobe used to actually sell its applications as standalone programs. Even since it switched to the subscription model under the Creative Cloud banner, Adobe’s applications can only be downloaded through the Creative Cloud desktop app only. Adobe makes it notoriously hard to come by individual installer files for its applications.
Apple has been pushing for greater adoption of the use of its Mac App Store through the new direction of editorial content to highlight the App Store’s offerings. With Lightroom now available on the App Store, we hope that more of Adobe’s professional applications will be available outside of the Creative Cloud application.
