Lightroom Update brings new “Texture” slider, in-app education and batch processing for Android

by 4 Comments

Every few years, Adobe adds something new and interesting to their raw file engine. We saw it when they added the Clarity slider, when we lost “Fill Light” and “Recovery” in favour of shadows, highlights and white levels. And we saw it fairly recently when they introduced Dehaze. Now, they’ve added a new “Texture” slider, which is sort of like the Clarity slider, only much smarter.

Along with the new raw engine update, Adobe has today announced updates to various versions of Lightroom, including Lightroom Classic as well as Lightroom for iOS and Android. Adobe Camera Raw, too.

Adobe brings a major features to Lightroom CC including tone curve and split toning

by 4 Comments

While some are still getting over the shock of Lightroom’s CC makeover, others are happily plodding along with the renamed Lightroom Classic. Some users have put off making the switch to new CC due to their familiarity with Classic, although some feel it simply lacks important features available with its older sibling.

Some of those missing features, including the tone curve and split toning, are now available inside Lightroom CC as part of a major update. The update comes for their entire Lightroom CC ecosystem. That includes Mac, Windows, iOS, Android and on the web. But there are a few updates for Lightroom Classic and Adobe Camera Raw, too.

Lightroom Mobile now captures RAW HDR images

by 3 Comments

Adobe Lightroom has released a new feature that allows you to capture HDR images in RAW format on your mobile device. This was previously possible only with DSLR and mirrorless cameras, but now smartphone photographers can use this feature as well. Additionally, if you are a Creative Cloud subscriber, you can sync all the raw files across different devices. The feature is undoubtedly useful and can produce high-quality RAW HDR images, but there are some downsides as well.

Adobe Lightroom Mobile adds Raw DNG capture in latest update for iOS10

by 2 Comments

We knew it was coming. Adobe added raw support to Lightroom Mobile a little while ago for shots made with DSLRs. The newly released iOS10 also brings raw support to the iPhone’s built in camera. Although the iOS10 native camera app doesn’t yet support it, 3rd party developers have been quick to jump on the feature. So, it’s hardly surprising that Adobe are amongst the first.

There is a caveat, though. To capture in DNG raw, you will need a device running iOS10 that has a 12MP sensor. This list includes the iPhone 6s, 6s Plus, SE, 7, 7 Plus and iPad Pro 9.7. This means that 5, 5C, 5S, 6 and 6 Plus owners are going to be out of luck, despite being able to run iOS10. This is a limitation created by Apple, though, so don’t give Adobe too hard a time about that.

Lightroom Mobile now lets you edit DSLR Raw files on your phones and tablets

by 1 Comment

Lightroom Mobile for Android has had some Raw support for a while now, at least when you’re using the phone’s built in camera, but now Adobe have broadened this capability, adding support for Nikon, Canon and other Raw formats to Lightroom Mobile for both Android and iOS.

Local adjustments have also been added, like those found in the desktop version of Lightroom, which is a very useful and welcome feature. We’ve also been the ability to embed copyright information into imported images.

Adobe Leaks Themselves with Lightroom Mobile 2.0 for Android. Still not available

by Leave a Comment

An interesting teaser from the Adobe Blogs popped up on my news feed briefly last night, stating that Lightroom 2.0 for Android had now been released.

Listing several cool new features, I thought this was worth a look, only to discover that the actual post on Adobe’s website did not exist, nor did any reference to it in the Adobe Blogs index.
