A new batch paste option in Lightroom CC allows settings to be quickly synced across multiple images. |
Adobe has announced a raft of updates across its suite of Creative Cloud apps, including Lightroom CC and Lightroom Classic CC.
For photographers, Lightroom CC receives the most substantial updates, which include easy synchronization of presets and profiles across all devices. Preset and profile syncing works with Lightroom’s inbuilt options, as well as custom and third-party presets and profiles. Presets can now be created in Lightroom CC on mobile devices, too. iOS devices also gain a new chromatic aberration removal tool, and a beta ‘long-exposure’ mode which combines multiple images and stacks them to simulate the effect of a long shutter speed without the need for a tripod.
Lightroom CC for iOS now includes a ‘Technology Preview’ of a new long exposure photo mode, which simulates the effect of using a long shutter speed by combining several conventionally-captured exposures into one. |
For those using Lightroom CC on a desktop computer, Adobe has improved batch syncing of settings across multiple images, and enhanced the options for sharing albums.
Users of Lightroom Classic CC are promised a substantial update ‘coming soon’ but in the meantime, Adobe has provided an iterative release centering on ‘speed, stability, and a focus on professional workflows’. To that end, Adobe has added new ways of accessing and sorting presets, new color labels for organizing folders, and faster searching inside them.
