I'm signed up for the Kelby event, but didn't even correlate that it could be the LightRoom 6 release. This release has been more anticipated than and iPhone release...I just hope I can do upgrades without needing to download the entire 1.5GB installer each time!

two new features that sound intriguing are panoramic stitching, and HDR merging of multiple images
It aslo sounds like it'll be pure 64-bit, and dropping the 32-bit stuff

Quite a lot of rumors but then it got quiet. Here are some of the best I've seen.

Lightroom 6 To Hit Tomorrow?
Nikon Rumors seem to think this is happening, and KelbyOne is doing a series of webcasts with their LR guy tomorrow afternoon, so I would say it's probably happening.
For those of you with CC, if you're expecting to try it out them I'd go through and do a backup of your catalogs today along with your libraries so you're ready.

Just saw Kelby delayed their webcasts until afternoon (1pm EDT vs 9am EDT) ... but otherwise is still on.

I'm going to guess that they're releasing Lightroom CC (Creative Cloud) and stand-alone Lightroom 6 both... but the CC version will be integrated with the cloud storage features of the iPad and other mobile versions.
[I'm awesome at predicting the future, btw.]

Can't say anyone is sure until the official announcement is made, but I've heard the rumor as well that Adobe has heard enough backlash from people not interested in signing up for CC that there would be a standalone version. Guess we'll know for sure tomorrow!
Looks like its called Lightroom CC.

Oh my...

This is going to upset a lot of folks.
Seems strange that they are showing Lightroom 6 as a standalone option but say it doesn't have the new features ?
I'm glad I booted all Adobe-ware. It's this kind of crap that will drive more and more to greener pastures.
What do you use now for editing.
Looks that CC only provides the mobile/share changes and the standalone has all of the other updates.

RAWTherapee. Not an all-rounder like LR but better at the things it does. LR is doing too much to be (as) good at everything.
Try it; it's free and once you get the hang of it, you'll enjoy the level of control you got.

Will download it at weekend when I have little more time, and try it out, thank you.
It doesn't have the new MOBILE features/updates unless you're a CC customer. The other new features/updates are part of LR 6, though.
To me (and it's not for everyone), $10/mo for full access to LR and PS (not to mention Bridge) is well worth the cost. Never an upgrade fee, yet always updated, and I'm STILL 6 years of use away from just the cost of PS CS6 as a standalone product. (betting it's updated again, a couple of times, by then too!)
