Adobe Gets In Sync with New Lightroom Update

June 19, 2018

With its latest update to the Lightroom ecosystem, users will now be able to synchronize both presets and profiles, including custom-created presets and third-party presets and profiles between all versions of Lightroom CC (Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, ChromeOS and web).

Lightroom CC is also getting several new features for Windows and Mac users:

  • Batch copy and paste of image settings from one image to multiple photos
  • More controls over image sharing for photos uploaded to Lightroom.Adobe.com

The original Lightroom, Lightroom Classic CC, will receive several updates as well:

  • New preset management tools that allow you to expand and collapse all profiles, control the visibility of profiles, and rename and manage presets.
  • Faster folder searching
  • The ability to assign color labels to folders and filter folders by color label
  • Auto stacking of HDR and panoramic images

You can now color code folders.

The mobile and Chrome OS versions of Lightroom CC will also see a few new features including:

  • The ability to create and save presets
  • A healing brush to remove dust, spots or blemishes
  • Chromatic aberration removal (for iOS only)
  • Automatic image tagging and Best Photos, part of Adobe’s technology previews and previously available on the desktop versions of Lightroom CC, are now on mobile
  • A Long Exposure technology preview on iOS devices captures a series of DNG still images, stabilizes them and merges them into a single image. The iPhone camera only supports shutter speeds as slow as 1/4 second so Adobe’s “long exposure” is more of computational mimicry.
  • Guided support technology preview lets iOS and Android walks less experienced users through Lightroom features.
