![]() ![]() Search, "Mountains," and receive an entire grid full of any photo you've ever taken with a mountain in it - no previous tagging (keyword, location, or otherwise) required. The automatic tagging and search features are incredibly powerful. This technology has been combined with a completely new version of Lightroom that looks like a very lightweight version of Classic CC, but in reality supports nearly every edit that its sibling does, except for the recently introduced Color Range and Luminance Range masking tools. Lightroom CC was born of Adobe's Project Nimbus, which heavily used Adobe Sensei's machine-learning framework to enable automatic identification and subsequent tagging and searching of images according to subject matter without any user input whatsoever. While there is now better noise reduction when using Auto Mask, new Color Range and Luminance Range masking features allow for even more powerful masking options within any of the filters or brush adjustments. The Develop Module doesn't have many updates, but it does introduce a few new features and changes. My advice: move around quite a bit and give the application a little time to "warm up." After a few minutes, everything worked rather smoothly for me. But on the other hand, this is so far the most stable first-release I've used, and it's not even technically the first release that just came out today. There were some small glitches (likely because of the pre-release version I have been using). ![]() Of course, nothing can ever be fast enough. Adjustment brushes and other performance-draining edits all felt much more fluid. Even some exports took nearly half the time. In early tests of Lightroom Classic CC, this dropped to fractions of a second, even with my usual 200+ tabs open across 20+ Safari windows running alongside Mail, six various cloud storage applications integrated into my operating system, and multiple smaller applications such as Calendar faithfully standing by. To this day, on my system, images large and small have often taken as long as ten seconds to load when switching to the Develop Module. While there are more specific details on this in a review coming later today, performance is definitely improved. Lightroom Classic CC is deceptively important update to the Lightroom desktop application (previously Lightroom CC) with just two new features: some Develop Module updates and major performance improvements. For every professional photographer that doesn't need or want a major user interface upgrade, that just wants everything to work better, that just wants to keep shooting and do less editing with a speedy editor - this is the release for you. Thankfully, Photoshop CC is still Photoshop CC. This also has some amazing implications and features. The major difference is that everything with Lightroom CC is powered by and lives within the cloud. Meanwhile, Lightroom CC is a new Lightroom product that uses a completely new (but similar) user interface based on the original Lightroom. It has some nifty updates we'll get to soon. That desktop application that you're so familiar with and that you've been calling, "Lightroom," for more than a decade - that is now called Lightroom Classic CC, not Lightroom CC. There will be no further updates after this year to Lightroom 6. While Lightroom 6 will still be available for an unspecified amount of time, going forward, there will simply be two new subscription-only desktop versions: Lightroom Classic CC and Lightroom CC. There will be a Lightroom 6.3 update that will provide Nikon D850 support (which is here now for Lightroom Classic CC, Lightroom CC, and Photoshop CC), but that's all that we can expect. But it'll make sense soon.įirst, Lightroom 6 will be the final standalone version of Lightroom. But the first thing we have to get out of the way is some clarification when it comes to the new Lightroom branding. We're going to take this announcement on an app-by-app basis. ![]()
