What practical difference does your distinction make to my original statement regarding LR? Adobe will continue a boxed Lightroom.
Q: Will I be able to buy a boxed/perpetual version of Lightroom 5?
A: Lightroom 5 will be available for purchase as a perpetual software license, via electronic download from Adobe.com and authorized resellers. A boxed version of Lightroom 5 will be available from authorized resellers.
(NOTE: LR5, not \"continued\" in any sense other than the next release. After that all bets are off.)
Q: Will Lightroom 5 be available from Creative Cloud?
A: When Lightroom 5 is officially released, it will be available for download and use from your Creative Cloud membership.
(NOTE: Yes, LR CC will exist.)
There was another interview somewhere where the Adobe guy said that the Lightroom CC version would have some additional features.
Look, there is enough information in this thread only to turn anyone half-awake off Adobe. If you are not interested in reading through it all, and prefer to think that Adobe\'s products continue to be worth owning and buying, suit yourself. I am done with Adobe, and will stay with LR4/PS CS6 as long as possible, and will then look for non-Adobe solutions.
