The second is take out a Photography Plan subscription. The first, and cheapest, is to subscribe to Lightroom only, which comes with either 20GB or 1TB of storage depending on your plan. The only way to buy Lightroom is as part of a Creative Cloud subscription, for which you pay monthly or annually. If you decide to keep subscribing, though, payments will be deducted from your card automatically. As long as you cancel your account in good time, you won’t get charged. You can find details of these different packages further down this page.Īt this stage, you'll be asked to enter your credit card details but don’t be scared. You'll have the choice of a free trial for Lightroom only, a free trial for the Photography Plan (featuring Lightroom, Lightroom Classic and Photoshop), or a free trial of the Creative Cloud as a whole. Once you have an Adobe ID, head to this page and follow the instructions.

Go to the Adobe Account Page, click 'Create Account' and follow the instructions. To take out a free trial to Lightroom, you’ll first need an Adobe ID, if you don’t have one already. You’d also be putting your devices and data at risk from viruses and malware, and when we're talking about large numbers of images, whether they're your own or your clients', that's really a dumb risk to take. You might find a pirated version on the web of course, but that would mean breaking the law. A free trial is the only legitimate way to download Lightroom for free.
