I picked up on this as a news article on my Google now feed. There's a kind of summary here http://www.techradar.com/news/lightr...a-major-update but one of the key points is that LR 6 looks to be the last version Adobe will sell as a standalone product and there will be no updates to it after the end of this year. So aside from PSE, it's cloud or nothing. The Adobe site for this is here: http://www.adobe.com/uk/products/pho...lightroom.html
One interesting addition is that the new Cloud version of LR will be able to share edits between Windows, OSX, Android and iOS apps so you can apparently, pending download/upload speeds of course, start editing on a Mac and end up an iPad. It's even a new application, if I read it correctly, which is much lighter and more responsive than LR had become, so it may even be enough to tempt me back into the Adobe fold, particularly if I can still use stuff like Luminar or Affinity (on the iPad) as a plugin.
Plans start at £9.98 for the Lightroom CC plan which includes 1TB of storage, unless I miss my guess. Which will no doubt be enough for a lot of people to get both editing and offline storage.
Interesting times...
