Adobe has just released Adobe Classic CC 7.3. An update to Lightroom Classic CC with some great improvements. If you have a Creative Cloud membership, you can download the update for free straight away.

Adobe Lightroom Classic CC 7.3


The main improvement, in my opinion, is moving the camera profiles to a clearer location. Instead of being right at the bottom of the Develop panel, they are now right at the top.

After all, selecting the camera profile you want to use is also a logical first step when you start working on a photo. It is good that this is now easier to access.

The Adobe profiles have been updated and the default profile has also been changed. New creative profiles have also been added, and you can create profiles yourself.

Watch the video with all the improvements


Piet Van den Eynde, our Adobe Certified Photoshop Lightroom Expert at Photofacts Academy, has made an extensive video in Dutch about the improvements in Lightroom.

The video was of course made available to our members straight away, but we have also made it public so that everyone can watch it.

    Update is niet aan te raden wanneer je gebruik maakt van aangekochte presets van bijvoorbeeld RNI Films, Classic Presets of VSCO. Die bleken bij mij allemaal onbruikbaar geworden. Heb vanmiddag een half uur doorgebracht met een dame van Adobe Remote Support, die er ook niet uitkwam en uiteindelijk de vorige versie van Lightroom Classic weer heeft geïnstalleerd. En zij adviseerde mij voorlopig niet bij te werken naar 7.3.

    @RK; er zit inderdaad nog een bug in met betrekking tot de presets. Daar zal binnenkort wel een update voor uit komen.

    @Elja: vanochtend van Adobe Support een mail ontvangen met een link naar een tijdelijke workaround:
    https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/not-all-presets-are-converted.html

    Ik blijf zelf voorlopig lekker op versie 7.2, maar voor anderen die ook werken met presets wellicht nuttig.

    Cameraprofielen toevoegen was ook mogelijk bij "Importeren"
    gewoon met een preset aanmaken en "Camera profielen" aanvinken. Desnoods één preset voor verschillende camera.
    Dat is zelf makkelijk vind ik gezien dat je andere correcties in die zelfde preset kan laten gebeuren tijdens importeren.

    Heb de 7.3 versie geinstalleerd en veel presets zijn verdwenen. Als ik de 7.2 opnieuw installeer heb ik dan mijn complete oude versie terug??? Graag advies

    Misschien niet helemaal de juiste plek om deze vraag te stellen maar ik waag het er op. Ik werk met deze nieuwste versie van CC Classic en verbaas mij er over dat ik op Youtube mogelijkheden zie die in mijn versie niet kan vinden. Er zou een mogelijkheid moeten zijn om onder gebruikersvoorinstellingen (eigen presets) een submap aan te maken. Dit is erg handig als je (te) veel presents hebt/krijgt. Kan dit nou wel of niet? Dank voor uw tijd.
