![]() My images do very well in International exhibitions without having editing software that is supposed to be better.Īdobe is (implicitly) targeting LR 6 and LR CC at obviously two different user groups: If Adobe doesn’t release LR 7 then I will stay with LR 6 and PS 6 and still be happy. Then I would upgrade to the newest version. Before CC improvements in the software were only minimal except when a new version was released. I think about what I am going to shoot before I take an image and then only have to spend about 3 minutes doing basic editing with LR and occasionally going into Photoshop. The question is why is the software that I have meeting my needs. I also use Photoshop CS6 now and then (Content aware fill, clone stamp tool, Gaussian blur and brushes for advanced vinetting) and I find I have no need for any other “improvements” found in Photoshop CC. Apart from that I can simulate the dehaze slider with other sliders anyway. Dehaze is available as a plugin and any other “improvements” I cannot see as necessary to my workflow. I have carefully looked at the difference between LR CC and LR6 and see no need to update to LR CC. I can hear them now: “The perpetual license version was confusing customers and making them angry so we had no choice to eliminate it.” Complaining about it will just give Adobe a reason to eliminate the perpetual license altogether. This is the rationale for the rental scheme. New features come with new paid upgrades. That’s not the way perpetual licenses work. That said, people complaining that the perpetual license version doesn’t get feature updates are totally off base. The only people benefiting from the scheme are users who don’t have the cash reserves to buy up front and, of course, shareholders. Hard not to see the move as a middle finger to perpetual licensees. Adobe released DeHaze about a month after LR6. Now Scott is shilling for software rental despite five years of evidence that rental fees haven’t done anything to speed the pace of innovation or updates. ![]() That choice was eliminated just one product cycle later, if I recall correctly. “You guys don’t *have* to subscribe,” he said. Scott was leading the charge arguing that there was no reason to freak out. I remember so well when Adobe first foisted their rental scheme on the creative community. If you’re into outdoor photography, check out this short little tutorial clip from Dave Black’s new online on creating Light-paintings while including the stars and the Milky Way. Hope you find it helpful, and here’s wishing you a fantastic weekend! □ I don’t want you, or someone you know, to wind up buying the wrong version, so I made this short little video (2 min, 33 seconds) you can share. I gave him a perspective he told me he had never considered, and then just today I got an email question from a photographer who already made that decision (he actually sent the question to me via Shutterbug magazine for my “Ask a Pro” Q&A column in each issue), and his question proved my point. You can designate a color to represent as a common theme or person in each photo.Above – that’s a short video I recorded after a photographer at my New York seminar last week came up and asked me a question about switching from Elements to Lightroom and he told me he had figured out which version of Lightroom to buy, and he asked me if I agreed with his logic. The color labels work well for dividing photos in to subcategories. When coupled with text notes, flags are particularly helpful if you need to finish a project later. Flags are useful for marking your favorite photos or ones that still need to be edited. You can flag and add color labels or text notes to your images. ![]() The photo manager provides standard organizing options. While the service version of the software, Adobe Lightroom CC, offers iO S and Android apps, Lightroom 6 uses the smart previews tool as a way to work on more than one device. This allows you to edit on multiple devices. When they are reconnected, the compressed images overlap the originals. When you connect an external drive, the tool compresses your images to 2,504 pixels. This software has a smart previews tool, which allows you to work on your images away from the photo collection. You also can manually place your photos on a map by tagging specific locations. Geo tagging is good for slideshows or organizing photos from trips. Depending on the type of camera you use, Lightroom can read the metadata and automatically place your photos on a map. For example, the program uses categories based on common metadata to sort photos. Adobe has several tools to help you keep track of your photos.
