Adobe Lightroom 6/CC tips & tricks round-up

The Dehaze feature Adobe gave to Lightroom CC and Photoshop CC is impressing. Watch the the video above and see for yourself (credit: Howard Pinsky). Unfortunately Lightroom 6 wasn’t updated with this feature. Very disappointing.

Adobe Lightroom CC updated (gets “Dehaze” feature, LR 6 not)

Adobe today updated Lightroom CC and Photoshop CC, calling it a “milestone release” (see press release below).

The most notable feature is the “Dehaze” tool for Lightroom CC (video above). And the bad news is that Lightroom 6 will not get it. Adobe has different update paths for LR 6 and LR CC, and that’s not good in my opinion.

You can get an overview of the new features at Lightroom Killer Tips.
