Afterwards, you’ll get a rendering and you can choose what amount of ghosting you want to compensate for. You simply shift or control click on two images to select them, right click to choose the type of merge, and then this screen will pop up. The HDR merge process is very simple and straightforward. Many of them were with a tripod but some were tried handheld. We did a couple of different tests for HDR merge. For the love of all that is holy, we’re going to beg you to not do an HDR portrait.

Indeed, the new additions are most targeted at landscape, architecture and Real Estate photographers.

Obviously, Adobe incorporated these new features in because photographers demanded them. This makes that type of editing very simple for landscape shooters. The new changes come in when you open a gradient–which then gives you the option of using a brush to fine tune your changes manually and without the use of content aware fill or the magic wand/lasso that some of you are probably so used to using in Adobe Photoshop.Īdditionally if you highlight two images (read, select) you can then right click where you get two new options under Photo Merge: HDR and Panorama. Consįor the most part, Adobe Lightroom CC and Adobe Lightroom 6 look very much like Adobe Lightroom 5. – Bigger emphasis on editing your images and sharing them immediately to help with the progressing and rapidly evolving market. – New set of features very tempting to landscape photographers and folks that like to do things like the Brenizer method. If you’re a landscape photographer, the upgrade to Lightroom 6 seems like a no brainer and if you’re a pro, the CC upgrade just makes so much sense. Adobe Lightroom CC is also included in the Photography package for $9.99/month. New to Adobe Lightroom are four big features: enhanced performance for the editing of all RAW file types, a new filter brush that works in conjunction with gradients, HDR merge, Panoramic merge, and a couple of new additions for folks that make slideshows such as syncing to music and changing the pace of the image progression to the beat of the music.Īll of these features are standard to Adobe Lightroom 6 and Adobe Lightroom CC’s major differences come with its integration with the Creative Cloud and with Lightroom Mobile for iPad and Android.

Photographers can either go for the new Adobe Lightroom 6 (most likely for the amateurs) or Adobe Lightroom CC (most likely for the working pros with a Creative Cloud account.) For the most part, they’re the same pieces of software.Īdobe’s Sharad Mangalick told us that both programs will receive updates at the same time when the patches and release candidates are available for download. Today, Adobe is giving consumers and professional photographers alike a new option. Since Adobe announced their movement to the Creative Cloud, many photographers were hoping that Adobe Lightroom didn’t make the move.
