This lack of guidance often creates unnecessary confusion for brand new Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Classic users. Unlike some other software programs, there are multiple steps involved in the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Classic installation process.
Click the blue Download button in the top menu bar. Locate Creative Cloud on the left of the screen (you may need to scroll down slightly) and click on that blue Download button: 3. Double-click the CreativeCloudInstaller.dmg file that was downloaded - it will be in your Downloads folder. The disk image will mount on your desktop. Creative Cloud 5.3.0.468 for Mac is available as a free download on our application library. The application lies within Productivity Tools, more precisely Cloud Services. This free Mac application is an intellectual property of Adobe Systems Inc. The file size of the latest downloadable installer is 2 MB.

Step 1: Creating An Adobe ID
Before you can install Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Classic you must create an Adobe ID at adobe.com. The username and password that you register here are important. Be sure that you write down your new username and password! You will need to enter these details in again before you can proceed with the installation process.
Step 2: Installing the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Classic Application
Now it is time to let the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Classic installer do its thing. At the end of the installation process, the Adobe Creative Cloud installer will automatically create a new Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Catalog for you.

Your Lightroom Catalog is a database that indexes your photos. Your Lightroom Catalog allows you to organize thousands of digital images thanks to Lightroom’s robust search tools and other organizational features. At first, your Lightroom Catalog will be blank but that will change as soon you begin to add images into this index.
Step 3: Set Your Lightroom Preferences
The upgrade process is not complete until you set up your Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Preferences.
Preferences are not exciting stuff but you can avoid so many of the common Lightroom pitfalls if you take the time to change a couple of important settings before you do anything else with this software.
