Adobe has completely gone to the dark side - new lightroom is completely on the cloud!

I kid you not.

According to Peter Bright at ARS:

New cloud-imprisoned Lightroom has 1TB of photo storage, same UI across desktop and mobile

You can read it yourself, but I'll pull out the best bits (further emphasis mine):

For the time being, the desktop-based Lightroom Classic will continue to be developed.

The current Lightroom CC is being renamed to Lightroom Classic CC, and a new product with an old name, Lightroom CC, will take its place.

The new Lightroom CC offers most of the photo processing features of Lightroom Classic

"likely" contentious feature: it uploads *ALL* your photos to cloud storage.

Adobe is using that cloud storage to perform object detection (and more!) on your pictures

Umm -  WHAT.  THE.  HUCK. ?
