Terms of use
Last updated 16 October 2026.
These are the terms for using LrC Buddy: the website, the Lightroom Classic plug-in, the desktop window and the service behind them. By creating an account you agree to them.
What it is
LrC Buddy sends your instructions, a preview of the photo and its Develop settings to an AI model and applies the edits the model proposes inside Adobe Lightroom Classic. It is an early release, offered as it is, for a small number of photographers.
Your photos stay yours
You keep every right to your photos and to the edits. We claim none. We store what the privacy page describes, to run and improve the service, and for nothing else.
What you agree to
- Use it only with photos you have the right to edit.
- Keep your sign-in to yourself and tell us if it is compromised.
- Do not try to get at other people's data or to disrupt the service.
- Follow Adobe's terms for Lightroom Classic, which we are not part of.
Edits, undo and backups
Every edit is a step in Lightroom's own History and can be undone there. Still, the model can be wrong, the plug-in can have bugs, and Lightroom can behave in ways we did not foresee. Keep your catalogue backed up. We are not liable for lost or damaged work, to the extent the law lets us say so.
Paying for it
Accounts are free while the service is in this early phase. Model calls will later be sold as credits on a monthly subscription; the price, the credits and the terms for them will be shown before you are asked to pay, and these terms will be updated then.
Ending it
You can close your account at any time (see the privacy page). We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms, or close the service altogether, with notice by mail where we can give it.
Changes
We may change these terms; the date at the top says when. Changes that matter are announced by mail to account holders.
