Lightroom Classic CC 7.3 has been released today. This release introduces major updates to the Develop module and improved Face Recognition, as well as the usual new / support for Lightroom. The has also been updated. Update 24 hours in – there’s a few bugs cropping up, mainly around presets:. New Profiles Since version 3, Lightroom has offered a number of profiles to emulate different in-camera picture styles, but they were hidden away in the Camera Calibration panel so most people didn’t know they existed, and they weren’t available in Lightroom CC. In the April 2018 Lightroom releases, these profiles have become first-class citizens, and the concept has been greatly expanded. In addition to the existing camera matching profiles, there’s now a whole set of new Adobe profiles for different subjects, and a wide range of creative profiles to give your photos a specific “look”.

Re: PC/mac vs Mac Lightroom richardplondon Jan 21, 2014 8:02 AM ( in response to janjvt ) When you buy (or have as part of a CC subscription) a license to use Lightroom, this is neutral as to whether the software is used on MacOS or on Windows.

These profiles are now available across the entire Lightroom and Camera Raw ecosystem. Changes to Preset Format The Preset format has changed from.lrtemplate to.xmp, so that presets are fully compatible with the Camera Raw plug-in. Their location has also changed as a result. Most of these changes happen automatically behind the scenes when you start Lightroom, but all the geeky details are in the 7.3 update for, for those who like to understand how it works. Some of the preset management tools, like creating, renaming and deleting new folders, have gone missing in this release. There are workarounds, but hopefully Adobe will address these missing features in the next update.

You will need to check your backups include the new profile and preset locations,. Oh, and big news presets now preview on the main image now, not just the small navigator panel. Dehaze Moved to Basic Panel By popular demand, the Dehaze slider has been moved from the Effects panel to the Basic panel!

Face Recognition Improvements The Face Recognition engine in Lightroom has been replaced, and it should do a better job of picking up faces the old engine would have missed. If Catalog Settings Metadata tab Automatically detect faces in all photos is checked, you don’t need to do anything to benefit from the changes. There’s also a new option to reindex specific photos, which has been. You’ll find this under Library menu Find Faces Again. Sharpening Default Changed The default sharpening setting for raw files has changed from 25 to 40.

Larger Tone Curve The tone curve has been enlarged to make it easier to adjust. Facebook Comments Due to a change in the Facebook API, you can no longer view or add comments using Lightroom’s Comments panel. New camera support.

The update servers take a while to push the updates around the world, to avoid crashing the servers. You can also open the Creative Cloud app, click the icon (top right) and select Check for Updates to give it a nudge. The trick is to create a new dummy preset. That’ll let you create a new folder with the right name at the same time. Then you can drag the presets into the correctly-named folder and delete the dummy preset. OR managing them in ACR (camera raw in Photoshop) works too, and is reflected back in LR.

I’m pretty sure the management tools will be back, they just ran out of time for this release. I’m really liking the new profiles, especially for B&W. I’m more luke warm about the preset format changes, but having access in ACR is handy when I’m using smart objects in Photoshop. Our organization recently did a presentation on Alternatives to Lightroom and Photoshop where we compared what you get with our camera (Canon’s suite in particular), Captue One, DxO PhotoLab Elite, On1 Photo RAW 2018, Luminar 2018, and Affinity Photo. For Digital Asset Management in a RAW-processor package, we thought Lr was still the best but Capture One was the closest.

If you are using Sony Alpha bodies, it has a fairly attractive price and can do up to 16 layers non-destructively on the RAW file. ON1 Photo RAW was in third place. Luminar states they will add DAM in 2018 but at present it is vaporware (which of course will be perfect once released). For Photoshop replacement, Affinity Photo was the clear winner and only $50.

It does some things even Ps still does not do, such as the option of saving your entire edit history as part of Affinity Photo’s image file. The presentation slides & a large matrix of feature comparisons from the presentation are online; Google PhotoMidwest alternatives lightroom.

Thank you Victoria – all good as far as I’m concerned. Personally I love working in Lightroom and simply couldn’t live without ‘collections’ and the functionality of the Library module. I also find that the Develop module gives me almost everything I need as a wildlife photographer. My only addition is DxO for their excellent PRIME noise reduction software. I wasn’t overjoyed having to move to a monthly subscription based arrangement, but it’s a sign of the times and I certainly wasn’t going to start looking elsewhere just to save a few bucks. So I’m happy, but clearly others aren’t.

Fine, everyone is different, and everyone will have their own opinions. But, why oh why, do some people like moaning about Adobe and Lightroom so much.

If you’re not happy, move on. And, if you think Lightroom sucks and Capture One is so much better, why are you even looking at this excellent Lightroom site?

All I can say Victoria is that you are the Queen for putting up with some of the comments you receive. Keep up the good work, because quite a lot of us love what you do and love Lightroom. How do I retrieve older catalog dates? When I was checking some older external hard drive I was informed that they were not of the current LR and would I like to update them. After saying yes the only items that appeared in in my catalog were the contents of the older hard drive and all my current information disappeared When I tried to access my backup, only the items from the old hard drive. How do I go back to all the earlier backups? All my photos are on my hard drive but I would have to reimport them and add all the keyword, etc information.

Hope you can point me in the right direction. Thank you Bill Koptis. I really don’t see how I can prefer Capture One in terms of cost. I moved from a Sony to Fujifilm camera and intended to stay with Capture One. But (as a Fuji user), it would cost me almost £300 to buy a licence, then face annual costs of around £150 to keep updated. OK, updates are optional but, as a (retired) IT professional, I like to keep up to date with software. The Capture One subscription is about double the cost of Adobe’s.

Fair enough to prefer Capture One in terms of functionality and as a matter of principle against subscription models, but I find the Adobe subscription price pretty reasonable at around one cup of coffee per week. For that I would probably have stayed with CO (I’m still not totally happy with Adobe’s Fuji RAW conversion. Many thanks to Victoria for giving us details of each upgrade so quickly, and for her excellent website and books! The standard camera profile for my Canon 5D Mark IV improved significantly in this update. In the previous version of LR CC, the photos never looked right–too flat for my taste. I relied on my ColorChecker passport profile to get the photo close to correct.

I’m disappointed, however, in LR CC 7.3’s Auto Tone feature, which the LR folks encourage start with. It didn’t improve at all. In fact, it’s a waste of time to use because it decreases Exposure and Contrast way too much, making the photo look muddy. If I zero out Exposure and Contrast but keep the highlight, shadows, whites, blacks, and presence in Auto, then the picture gets pretty close what looks right.

Isn’t Auto Tone supposed to be smart enough to get you as close to correct as possible, thereby saving you time? Is there a way to modify the Auto Tone settings? Hi Victoria, thanks for this lively and informative post and threads.

First, I purchased a new iMac in January. The update went without a glitch. A pal, who creates presets, noted not all her presets were imported. Mine are fine. BUT they are not xmp, but the older lrtemplate. Dunno if that’s an issue. I started using Illustrator in 1988, and Photoshop in 1990, then Lightroom, but not til version 3.

I’ve taught and used many programs and plugins which either have radically changed or no longer exist. I can’t even use Illustrator and I taught it at UCLA! THAT is how much programs can and do change. To bicker about changes or charges misses the point to me. Tech changes.

Life changes. You can argue and protest, but it won’t change our reality. And if you think $9.99/month for subscription is too much, well, too bad. I speak as someone who is always scrambling for a buck.

I don’t make a lot of money, but that’s partially my fault. I take responsibility. BUT I will NEVER stop my $9.99/month. IF you can’t afford the tools of the trade, then find another trade. Or use older software. But pls think about this: complaining is negative.

Not gonna move you forward nor help you with your art. I am grateful for the tools tech affords us. I REMEMBER the darkroom.

Dark, hot, smelly (I hate vinegar), boring, tedious and worse. But if you wanna complain, pls go tell someone who wants to hear it and can do something about it. Otherwise, you are sucking the air outta the room. I am celebrating the updates. I’ll deal with presets. Cos life is not what happens to you, but how you react.

Using Lightroom and Photoshop are life-changers for me. Everyone comments how quickly I respond when mags, books, sites, customers contact me. And when I’m feeling low, I launch Lightroom and work in it. Cos I have tens of thousands of legally acquired clip art. Looking at that and my photos makes me happy. And that is worth far more than $10 bucks a month. It all depends upon YOUR priorities.

But gee, why must ppl complain on threads where we cannot affect change? Or as I was told by many in the industry (I spoke, covered for press and attended lots of top computer conferences in the 90s, when that industry rocked the best events!): If you don’t like our product, either make your own, use someone else’s or just use older versions. Works for me. I LOVE being able to see Preset changes IN the main window! I JUST mentioned that in a class I just recorded.

Now I’ve got to add another segment. I recorded how to update, discussed changes Adobe listed, but now have to update the Preset viewing and a few other things. Do you hear me complaining about that? No, cos hey, no one wants to hear it. THANKS Victoria!! You have so much patience and are so dedicated to this!! The last version for the perpetual license users is 6.14.

You can upgrade from the “Updates” option from the “Help” item on the Lightroom menu bar, or use the Adobe CC app that you were forced to install a few upgrades back. If you use the app, be sure to choose “Lightroom CC (2015)” and NOT “Lightroom Classic CC”.

Adobe labels the latter as an “Update” but it really is a “replace what you own with the subscription version” so it is not an update to the software that you own. And the so called update will also uninstall the perpetual license copy of the software and you will have to crawl through Adobe’s website to find where the Lightroom 6 installer package is hidden so that you can reinstall it and then update it to the current version.

Hi Keith, Thank you for the ‘update’. Sorry, couldn’t resist.

When the subscription versions started coming out I thought it was the scammyist thing that I had ever seen. I never saw any advantage for me to switch to subscription based Photoshop and Lightroom. There was a big advantage for Adobe because they get a permanent residence in your credit card/PayPal once you subscribe. Anyways, lots of other companies have to subscription based software now so I must be the dinosaur in the room because I haven’t made the switch yet. I still get my work done each day so hopefully I delay switching to subscription software for another 10 years. Keep Smiling. All the Best, Sing.

I am among the ones who did not really know about profiles. I have now updated to 7.3 and imported some new raw pictures and all of them where looking somewhat too “vivid” compared to reality. Eventually I discovered the new Profile tab and I noticed that all new imports had the “Adobe Color” profile while the older ones (luckily unchanged!!) had the “adobe standard”. It was easy to sync all the new files to the Adobe standard, but, is there a way to set the program to use by default the adobe standard when importing new pictures? (as apparently was the case before this last update). For some reason, I am having no problems with my presets, they show up identically to before. Makes me wonder if this is a platform or OS issue.

I’m on MacOS High Sierra on a Macbook Pro. It’s really bothersome that some people take any post on an Adobe product as an opportunity to say why they don’t like Adobe’s business model or Adobe’s software.

It’s irrelevant to the post, which is about new features, and it seems to come from some sort of anger that forums don’t need. It’s why I approve every comment before it posts, I don’t think readers come for whining and complaining that isn’t helpful. Interested in Lightroom?
