Lightroom CC

[Doug Nelson]

Lightroom CC launches today. Some new overlap with Photoshop. A couple of unique features. Up to 8000% faster if you have a good video card.

Previously the question would have been "are you planning on buying it", but CC makes that question obsolete.

So instead, are you impressed? Do you care?

Re: Lightroom CC

I'd probably call it LR 5.5, based on updates of the past. I'm now playing with Face Recognitions, something I didn't think was so useful in the past but with little experience. I like how it was implemented as it builds upon the Keywords structure which I do use a lot.

LR6 can now soft proof AND output CMYK which is useful.

Seems a little faster, nothing so far that's rocked my world.

The ability to brush away Gradient's will be useful, haven't tested it out but I've used Grad's in the past a lot and it was kind of an all or nothing affair. So any selective work one can do here is a good thing.
