Can I Get Lightroom and Photoshop Together?

Last updated on September 23, 2022 @ 11:09 pm

Do you want to get Lightroom and Photoshop together? You can do this in two ways.

You can either purchase them together as a bundle or you can buy them separately and then use a plugin to link them together.

If you decide to purchase them as a bundle, then you will need to decide which version you want. The two versions are the Creative Cloud (CC) and the Creative Suite (CS).

The Creative Cloud is the newer version and it comes with a monthly subscription. The Creative Suite is the older version and it is a one-time purchase.

PRO TIP: If you are thinking about getting Lightroom and Photoshop together, be aware that they are two very different programs. While they both have their own strengths and weaknesses, they are not compatible with each other. If you try to use them together, you will likely run into problems.

If you decide to buy them separately, then you will need to purchase Lightroom first. Lightroom is available as part of the Creative Cloud or as a standalone program.

Photoshop is only available as part of the Creative Suite. Once you have both programs, you can then download a plugin called “Lightroom to Photoshop”. This plugin will allow you to edit your photos in Lightroom and then send them over to Photoshop for further editing.

So, which method should you choose? If you are only interested in using Lightroom, then buying it as part of the Creative Cloud makes sense. However, if you want to use both programs, then buying them separately and linking them together with a plugin is the best option.

No matter which method you choose, getting Lightroom and Photoshop together is possible and easy to do. Both methods have their own advantages and disadvantages, so it really depends on your needs as to which one you should choose.
