Well yesterday Adobe pulled the trigger on the much anticipated release of the new Lightroom 6, which is actually called Lightroom CC (part of the Creative Cloud). It will still be available as a stand alone product but many people, myself included were eagerly downloading the new version as soon as it was available.
We’ll have one of our writers doing a more involved look at the new features soon but I wanted to see what you are most interested in with this new version.
New Photo Merge feature in LR CC
So tell me in the comments below – what things were you hoping Adobe would build into this incarnation of Lightroom? Did you get all the features you wanted? What’s still missing in your opinion?
Was there anything you wanted removed?
In watching some of the live broadcast of the announcement I picked up on a few of the new features and was eager to try them out, most of all the Merge to HDR (Pano also available). It takes your bracketed shots which you previously had to take to either Photoshop or another plugin to work with – and now Lightroom merges them into a gorgeous 32-bit file which comes back in as a DNG no less! So you have all the editing power of a 32-bit file at your fingertips without every leaving Lightroom CC – I’m sold!
I ran a couple sets through the HDR to test it. Was pretty impressive and super easy. I’ll have to dig into it more later.
Previously on the set of images above I had to mask the sky back in – but using LR local adjustments and the new HDR Merge I was pretty happy with the result which took about three minutes.
See a complete run down of all that’s new on the Adobe site.
New brush option on graduated filters, very slick!
How about you?
We’ll have more on the new Lightroom in the coming weeks but for now tell us what you think in the comments below.
