Differently from Photoshop, Adobe made it also available as "old fashioned" permanent license (both full and upgrade).
Downloading as I write...

If you have a large Lightroom 4 catalogue, as I do, be prepared: it takes about AN HOUR to upgrade it to version 5 Shocked Surprised

I took advantage of the V4 sale (They always eke out the last remaining revenue from the old version) and appreciate it very much.

First impressions:

- significantly faster than v4 in opening files and in switching modules
- the added features are very few compared to v4. Some of them useful, the most of them not really needed

Unless you are on a slow computer such as mine, in which case you will surely appreciate the faster version 5,
I would say for now that this update can be easily skipped.
If I can find more and usefulk new features, so that my opinion changes, I will let you know.

I'm using it and so far I'm very pleased by the speed increase in all operations!

I got it automatically via the CC and I agree to you Orio. It seems to be faster.

Think I'll keep with LR4 for the moment and see what LR6 brings in 6 months or so Rolling Eyes

I just use Windows. Laughing

I use it for cropping mostly and to view my images, but they do have some basic functions like noise reduction, straightening and exposure tweaking.

I was thinking that I need to buy this software but have since changed my views. I'm trying to avoid editing completely. I pretty much just shoot JPEG and apart from cropping, I just use whatever comes out of the camera.
