Lightroom 6 CC - Startup Problems

[Grumpy Hec]

If anybody else is running the CC version of LR/PS via the Creative Cloud application you may have problems with starting up LR6 after install.

I installed in the normal way via the CC application on my PC last night but LR6 refused to start. The solution is simple as it turns out.

Once installation is complete you have to sign out of the CC application via the preferences sub menu in the CC tools menu and then sign in again. All is well after that.

This is the second time I've had LR problems after major version installs. Not good from Adobe given the basic nature of that.

Pleased to say that although I have not had time to really look beyond a shallow play LR6 has some noticeable performance improvements so it's worth it.

Hope this helps someone if they have problems.

Same here. No problems installing on my iMac and MacBook Pro.

I had to use Hec's solution on both my Mac and Macbook. After doing that it started perfectly. Thanks, Hec.

Well, at least the upgrade to Yosemite is free, and it works very well. I see no reason not to update.

I agree with Yosemite & the latest version has sorted out releasing memory after apps close better.

Can I upgrade from LR 5 to LR six without paying £103.88?

Re: Lightroom 6 CC - Startup Problems

Not if you bought LR5 outright - though I'm not sure if £103.88 is the upgrade price or the full outright price. The full price from Amazon is £100.

According to Photoshop.com blog you can also purchase a traditional license of Lightroom 6 for $149 (for those new to Lightroom) and $79 (for previous Lightroom customers). Please note that this version of Lightroom does not have access to any of the mobile or web workflows supported by Creative Cloud, and only Creative Cloud members receive ongoing feature updates.

Although this is for USA, there must be an option in UK.

Re: Lightroom 6 CC - Startup Problems

Thanks guys. I can get an upgrade for under £60 from the Adobe site, so that will be the way forward for me I think.
What are the advantages of 6 over 5?
