Adobe has killed off this product line. Below is the last standalone version of LR, which includes all camera/lens updates through December, 2017, but none thereafter:
Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 6 (Download) 65237402 B&H Photo Video Originally posted by roberts_camera Photoshop Elements
It's a stripped-down version of Photoshop with minimal raw development support and a limited set of tools. Thus, Lightroom would be a much more powerful option (even older versions), as you get the full functionality of Adobe Camera Raw. You could also go for something like Photoshop CS6, which is old, but still quite capable (and in the same boat as LR6 update-wise).
If you want access to the latest lens profiles and support for native raw files from the latest cameras, the only option is CC. CC is actually not a bad deal- it can be had for as little as $99/year when on sale.
As Mark said above, the main difference between the two products is that Lightroom offers more high-level workflow tools, while Photoshop lets you do more advanced tweaks at the expense of time.
