About a year ago, Lightroom released its new Classic and Lightroom CC versions. Adobe recently released the latest update of Lightroom Classic (8.0) and Lightroom CC for Mac / Win (2.0).
An update that goes a little further than adding algorithms to process new camera models. This article summarises the changes.
Adobe continues to work on keeping its applications up to date with new features, camera control and bug fixes. The days of spectacular new versions packed with new features every 18 months are now behind us.
Now it was a matter of waiting to see how quickly Adobe would release an update for Adobe Camera Raw and Lightroom to process the raw files from all the new camera models. That update is here now, and the new Lightroom has been given a thorough overhaul.
Masks and tethering
Tethering has now been improved for Canon cameras, especially in terms of stability and speed. Support for mobile devices such as smartphones has also been extended.
For example, there is now the new Depth Range Mask, which distinguishes between the foreground and background of your shots. Ideal for adding a little more depth to a photo taken with your iPhone.
HDR, archiving and organising
A feature has been built in that lets you create HDR panoramas more quickly in Lightroom. You can now combine HDR photos with different exposure times into a panorama in just one step.
An AI machine learning element has also been built in, allowing you to quickly find your photos in your archive using tagging. Thanks to your tags, you can quickly recognise photos, Adobe's Sensei can even recognise people, and easily create albums based on people or themes.
You can then easily share those tagged photos from Lightroom to Adobe Portfolio or on social media sites.
