I’m pleased to say that Lightroom 5 is now available for download. PM Sharad Mangalick writes,
We’ve made over 400 tweaks since releasing Lightroom 5 beta, many of which are directly attributed to your feedback in our public forums. Thank you.
Lightroom 5 is now feature complete and final. Lightroom 5 will be available for $149 (for those new to Lightroom) and $79 (for Upgrade and Student/Teacher editions). As with previous version of Lightroom, Lightroom 5 is a perpetual license.
If you’re a Creative Cloud subscriber, you can download LR5 here. For an in-depth jump on what’s new, check out Julieanne Kost’s video series, Getting Started with Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.
Hi John
Great news but for us that jumped into the new cloud just for Photoshop, do you think it will be a Photographer Cloud where Lightroom and Photoshop are included?
I do understand that it not easy for you to answer – but the question for me shall I buy a upgrade now and then in a few month Lightroom will be included in the cloud…. that will disturb me.
Thanks for great blog

Jolly good news. I have installed it and the upright tool is truly remarkable, as is the radial filter.
Would love to know:
Is there a list somewhere of features added to Lightroom 5 FINAL versus Lightroom 5 Beta? (Or at least some hints to what’s new in the final versus beta?)
[ New features in Lr5 that didn’t exist in Lr5 Beta:
–Behance Publish Service. Publish your photos and collaborate with the creative community on Behance.net directly from Lightroom.
— Extended the range of the Feature slider with the Radial Filter. –J.]
Is there a difference between
– Lightroom 5 sold stand-alone
– Lightroom 5 as part of Creative Cloud?
[There is no difference between Lr5 sold standalone( available on Adobe.com, Amazon, B&H, etc.) and the version of Lightroom 5 included with the Creative Cloud membership. The versions are exactly the same and we plan to keep them in sync in terms of features and release cadence. –J.]
Thanks!
Downloaded Lightroom 5 only to discover that it will not work with my version of OSX. I am bummed as I am not so eager to upgrade my operating system.
will Lightroom 5 work on an iPad?
will it allow you to import screen shots?
if so, How?
thank you!
A lightroom program bought in England can it be used anywhere in the globe, say NZ/Australia?
[Yes. –J.]
