But in that case, you won't have access to additional premium features of Lightroom on Mobile that you would if you had a paid Adobe plan. You can download the Lightroom Mobile app for free using its basic editing, capturing, organizing, and sharing features on your mobile device for free.

I'm switching over to show you Lightroom on my iPad to explain one more thing about Lightroom on Mobile that's important for this course. There is a way to sync selected collections of photos between Lightroom Classic and Lightroom on Mobile, but you have to deliberately set that up as I'll show you how to do later in this course. If you're working in Lightroom Classic, your photos and edits won't automatically show up in Lightroom on Mobile. The thing to remember about Lightroom Classic is that it doesn't automatically participate in the Lightroom Cloud system. It's had a few name changes over the years, but now it's called Lightroom Classic. Lightroom Classic is a desktop application that has been around for over 10 years. Now don't confuse this cloud-centric system with another more traditional product, Adobe Lightroom Classic. That's why this is called a cloud-centric system. All the editing and organizing that you do to photos in Lightroom on any device goes up to the cloud of Adobe servers and then down to Lightroom on your other devices.

Now because these applications are part of an ecosystem, whatever you do to your photos in Lightroom on Mobile will automatically appear in Lightroom on your desktop and web and vice versa, at least if you're a member of an Adobe plan. Until recently, those applications were called Lightroom CC, but now they're all called Lightroom, so please be aware of that name change. That system includes not only Lightroom on Mobile, the subject of this course, but also, the relatively new Lightroom Desktop application and Lightroom on the Web. Lightroom on Mobile is part of Adobe's ecosystem of cloud-centric Lightroom products.
