Adobe Added Many Cameras & Lens Support In Lightroom CC 2015.8




Adobe added a new View Mode called Reference View in the Develop Module which enables users to compare 2 different images to make them visually consistent.  This is helpful when making a group of images from a single event look similar or setting the white balance appropriately in mixed lighting conditions.

To get started,

  • Go to the Develop Module
  • Click on Reference View.  Its on the Toolbar, and you may need to show the Toolbar if hidden
  • Drag and Drop your Reference Photo onto the left pane.  You can change your Reference Photo by either dragging a different image onto the left pane or using the “Set as Reference Photo” context menu in the Library Module.
  • Edit the active photo. Use the Reference Photo to guide your editing decisions.

Performance Improvements

Lightroom CC (2015.8) / 6.8 includes ‘under-the-hood’ changes designed to improve the responsiveness of your Lightroom experience.  You should notice improvements in image editing responsiveness when background tasks (such as Preview Generation) are running, moving files between folders, running catalog backups.

Fit/Fill Improvements

You can now zoom to fit and zoom to fill.  Particularly when using ultra high-resolution (i.e. 4K and 5K) monitors, prior versions of Lightroom would not completely fill the Loupe window.

Additional Features

Ability to filter or create a Smart Collection for images that have Snapshots associated with them.
Export a Collection Set as a new catalog.
