Adobe Lightroom CC 2015.2 now available (and Camera Raw 9.2 too)
Adobe released an update for Lightroom CC. New lens profiles have been added, even for FD lenses (see after the break). Use the Help-> Check for Updates menu item or the Creative Cloud application to install this desktop update. Again, this update is not available for Lightroom standalone version. A new version of Camera Raw (ver. 9.2) is also available for download.
Release Notes
New Features – Lightroom desktop
Dehaze as a Local Adjustment*
We added Dehaze as a global adjustment in the Lightroom CC 2015.1 release and are excited to see the widespread interest in the feature. We wanted to extend the functionality, and I’m happy to announce that you can now apply Dehaze as a Local Adjustment. This means that you can use Dehaze with the Radial Filter, Graduated Filter and Local Adjustment Brush.
* Please note that this feature is not available in the standalone version of Lightroom 6
Revamped Import
We redesigned the Import experience to make finding and importing your photos easier and more visual. The redesign was driven by our desire to make the import workflow more explicit and clear. The workflow is 1. Select a source, 2. Select images 3. Choose any import settings (optional) and 4. Import.
The revamped Import experience is based on customer feedback and we’re excited to hear what you think.
- Select a Source: There is a new “Add Photos” screen which scans to identify the potential locations for photos on your hard drive. You can also easily select from a folder, a connected camera (via USB cable), a memory card, external hard drive, or Photoshop Elements catalog.
- Select images: The Import Dialog has been redesigned. Your source will already be selected (you choose it in step 1) so you can specify which images to import. We recommend importing all.
- Choose any import settings (optional): While there isn’t a need to change the default settings, you can open the gear icon (on the top right) to adjust and change import settings.
- Hit the import button.
Improvements to “Import from Photoshop Elements” feature
In addition to Import, we’ve revamped the Import from Photoshop Elements experience. Now you can migrate the images from your Photoshop Elements catalog into Lightroom easily. To do so, click on the Photoshop Elements icon in the “Add Photos” screen (step 1 from above). Select the Elements catalog and click the Import button. Lightroom will handle the rest for you automatically.
