While it was no small feat to carve out the foundation of making these performance gains, we know we still have a lot of work ahead. Precise Selections with New Range Masking ToolsĬheck out some best practices here…and some useful video tips here. This serves as a nice complement to meet your masking needs with the already existing auto mask feature in place.

What’s New in Lightroom Classic CCĪs many of our customers know, Lightroom Classic (originally Lightroom) was born to help you manage your photography workflows and bring your images to life with a fleet of editing capabilities. By separating the two products, we’re allowing Lightroom Classic to focus on the strengths of a file/folder based workflow that many of you enjoy today, while Lightroom CC addresses the cloud/mobile-oriented workflow. It’s a well-established workflow solution that is distinct and separate from our new cloud-native service. Lightroom Classic CC is designed for desktop-based (file/folder) digital photography workflows. It is designed to be a cloud-based ecosystem of apps that are deeply integrated and work together seamlessly across desktop, mobile, and web. Why change? We have introduced a new photography service that will now be called “Lightroom CC”. Going forward, the product you’ve known as Lightroom will be rebranded “Lightroom Classic CC”.
