![]() ![]() Updated Camera and Lens SupportĪs with perhaps every other update to Lightroom, the October 2018 release also adds support for additional cameras and lenses. At the moment, this update primarily relates to videos captured with an iPhone using the latest operating system update. With the October 2018 release, Lightroom Classic CC now supports HEVC video captures, so you can import videos created in this format. ![]() The HEVC video format is essentially the video version of the HEIC (or HEIF) capture formats for still images. In addition, the Dehaze adjustment has been improved to help reduce noise when you use a negative value for Dehaze. Noise reduction has been improved to help reduce the appearance of a purple color cast in photos captured at high ISO settings. While a new process version has typically involved the addition of significant new features in the Develop module, with this release the updates are a bit more modest. The October 2018 release of Lightroom Classic CC includes new Process Version 5. In addition, support has been added for a couple of additional Canon camera models (the Rebel T7 and the M50). The improvements for tethered capture primarily relate to greater stability and faster performance when using Canon cameras for tethered capture. With tethered capture you are able to connect your camera to a computer running Lightroom Classic CC, control the captures within Lightroom, and have the tethered captures added automatically to your Lightroom catalog. While there aren’t any new features for tethered capture in the October 2018 update to Lightroom Classic CC, there have been improvements to tethered capture with Canon cameras. With the new update, you can simply select all of the captures that represent bracketed frames of the full panorama, and then merge all of the images into an HDR panorama with a single process. ![]() You would first need to assemble all of the bracketed exposures into individual HDR image, and then assemble the HDR images into a composite panorama. Previously, to create an HDR panorama in Lightroom, two steps would be required. With the new October 2018 release of Lightroom Classic, you can now merge captures into an HDR panorama with a single process. Merge HDR Panoramas in One Stepįor more than three years (since April 2015) Lightroom has supported the ability to merge multiple captures into an HDR (high dynamic range) image, or to a composite panorama. This can be incredibly helpful for applying adjustments only to foreground areas versus background areas of a photo, for example. With this feature you can apply adjustments to areas of a photo based on a range of distances. The key difference is that the Focus Area selection evaluates an image and attempts to determine which areas are in focus, while the new Depth Map feature in Lightroom actually uses depth information embedded in a supported photo. That depth information can then be used to refine the mask for a targeted adjustment, such as with the Gradient Filter, the Radial Filter, or the Adjustment Brush.įor photographers familiar with the Focus Area feature in Photoshop CC that enables you to create selections based on areas of a photo that are in focus, the concept of masking based on a depth map is somewhat similar. It is reasonable to expect, however, that other cameras will offer similar support in the future.Īn HEIC capture can include an embedded depth map, which effectively maps out the distances from the lens for all areas of the scene being photographed. In other words, for now this is a feature for photos captured with the iPhone or other smartphones running the new Android Pio operating system. The Range Mask feature for targeted adjustments has now been updated to include support for depth maps embedded in certain image formats.Īt the moment this feature applies to HEIC photos. It is now possible to refine a targeted adjustment in Lightroom based on distance ranges within the scene. The updates include: Masking by Depth Map There are a handful of technology improvements in this update that many photographers will find helpful. Today Adobe has announced the October 2018 release of Lightroom Classic CC (version 8.0). ![]()
