# Adobe Lightroom

I use Lightroom (not classic tho) to store all of my photos and I pay for the 2TB plan as part of my Creative Cloud license (this costs more than the basic). It’s pretty good. I don’t recommend for slightly more complex photo processing (use **Lightroom Classic** if you want, but really any complexity you can’t achieve in LR, just use **Photoshop**). You can still use **Bridge** for bulk processing - though it doesn’t always work the way you think (as is traditional with Bridge).

Like Classic, this better looking Lightroom: You can still copy and paste settings and select which settings you want to copy and paste. Like copy and paste attributes or copy and paste values, etc. Pro-tip: applying those settings to >1 photo simultaneously requires grid view. Bad design.

If you have a ton of photos in your sync’d Lightroom library and desire a local copy, there’s a secret Adobe app called [Lightroom Downloader](https://lightroom.adobe.com/lightroom-downloader). This will download your entire library to a target folder local to your computer (or an external). Note that:

- Every time you do this, you do the entire library. It doesn’t look for changes or new photos and just backup those for subsequent backups.
- You need to leave it running, without a restart, until it’s done. Quitting and continuing is unlikely to be successful.
