The latest iteration of Adobe's raw-editing and management software, Adobe Lightroom 5, offers a modest set of enhancements that will make some photographers very happy but will probably make a large number of others shrug and choose to skip it. The biggest news: support for proxy editing of disconnected images, a feature dubbed Smart Preview. Other highlights include an overdue distortion and perspective correction tool, Upright; reusable custom page layouts and page-numbering tweaks in the Book module; a radial filter; the expansion of the spot healing/clone tool into a full-blown healing brush; and the option to insert playable videos into slideshows. Plus, there are the usual myriad small updates. What's not here: still no face recognition or tagging, HDR editing, panorama stitching, or expansion of the video capabilities.

Lightroom 5 is available for free with a Creative Cloud membership; full single-copy price is $149 and upgrades are $79, the same as the previous version. The full retail price is a bit higher than some competitors like Apple Aperture ($79.99) and Corel AfterShot Pro ($49.99), but not as high as DxO Optics Pro Elite Edition ($299, though currently $199) or Phase One Capture One Pro ($299, with a special offer of $249). That's about right, as its capabilities fall in the middle of the pack as well.

With this version, Adobe dropped support for Windows Vista and OS X 10.6.8 and earlier. The latter may prevent some folks from jumping to Lightroom 5 -- the last estimates I found indicate that about 30 percent of OS X users have resisted the call of the wilder, sticking with Snow Leopard rather than moving to newer, sleeker cats. In the interim between the beta release and now, however, there've been some grumblings but not a great outcry, at least that I can find.

Download office 365 mac. Upgrading from LR4 entails importing your old catalog file(s); LR5 offers to back up the old version, and the import parses the file to add the new searchable metadata fields added in LR5. I gave up timing the import at 40 minutes, when the progress bar indicated it was about 10 percent of the way through. This is something you'll probably want to leave for overnight.

As far as I can tell, performance hasn't improved; in fact, it seems a little slower on my system. Oddly, it took about 4.5 minutes to import in place 11,850 files for the beta but about 13 minutes to do so for 6,568 files, 133GB, with the final version (on a 2.2GHz Core i7 system with 8GB RAM equipped with a 2GB Nvidia Quadro 2000M and running 64-bit Windows 7, from an external drive connected via USB 3). Import in place doesn't copy files, so this is mostly CPU performance with some file reading that might bog it down a little. (Please, Adobe, the import pane could use a date-sort option.) The pause when switching between modules as it loads the full image also remains. Overall, however, working in the application feels zippy enough on a reasonably powerful system.

So, on to the new features. Lightroom plays catch-up with Phase One, adding the really useful proxy editing Smart Preview feature for working with images stored on disconnected drives. Called Smart Previews, LR5 can selectively or automatically generate roughly 2,560x1,596-pixel (size depends on original aspect ratio), 1.5MB (or smaller) versions of images that it stores in its lossy DNG format. You generate them via a globally applied check box on import, select to generate them individually on already-imported files, or set a global preference for it. They can also be selectively discarded. By using the new Has Smart Preview metadata flag I quickly built a Smart Collection of images without proxies; with the final software it took just under 26 minutes to generate about 1,400 Smart Previews, far slower than the 45 minutes to generate the SPs for a little more than 6,000 images with the beta.

When a drive is disconnected, you can work on these proxies; when you reconnect the drive, the application automatically syncs the changes. You can also export from the Smart Preview. The Smart Preview files reside in a separate catalog that lives in the same folder as the main LR catalogs. Since they're regular DNG files, you can even open them in Photoshop, which is nice, though the folder structure is annoyingly discrete, creating a separate folder for each file. SPs for 9,410 files took 7.17GB of disk space (in contrast, the minimal previews for 20,847 files took only about 5.2GB).

Smart Preview worked seamlessly for me. If you have images scattered across multiple storage devices that you have to retrieve periodically, this may come in quite handy. But if you have a smallish solid-state drive (SSD) the catalog bloat may require you to use another storage device for your Lightroom catalogs. You can filter by Smart Preview for quick purges; other new filter criteria include file size, bit depth, number of color channels, color profile, and PNG file type (you can now import PNG files).

Another universally welcome new capability is the expansion of the spot healing/clone tool into a brush for working on irregularly shaped areas. It's not without its glitches, perhaps because it's unused to finding matches for larger areas -- while trying to fix a large under-eye area it drew from the lips in one case and eyelashes in another, neither of which is a good look -- but it's certainly a useful feature extension. Also, Shift+Q will toggle you between clone and heal.

This app is available only on the App Store for iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV.

Hands down best mobile app!

I’m a hardcore adobe fan but the software that has been working the best for me out of all the creative cloud platform it’s no doubt the Lightroom mobile, i have spent tons of money on expensive softwares, apps and different hardware stuff trying to get my pictures to the next level but I can’t stop using Lightroom mobile,I love using my iPhone and most of the time I’m flying my drone and like to edit my pictures on the spot right after I’m finished so I don’t know anything else as good or as close to Lightroom mobile, not to mention that once you have done some of the work on the go once you hit the computer it’s synced with your Lightroom desktop version so you can either keep working on the desktop or laydown and keep working on the mobile version on your phone, and the best part for me is that is very convenient to just grab the phone out of the pocket and take a picture instead of using a huge DSLR for a simple picture that sometimes you might not have time to setup the tripod and everything before the subject has moved etc , I like to have a camera for every scenario, GoPro for under water, drone for aerial photography, DSLR for my professional photography and my iPhone photography for quick snaps that I don’t feel like carrying a huge bag full of accessories and for every one of those cameras Lightroom mobile app works well!

Don’t need my DSLR 90% of the time

This may be my first product review, but I am very eager to share my experience. Thanks to Lightroom CC, I can shoot beautiful raw photos (in HDR), easily organize them, easily fix/improve them, and automatically upload them to the cloud where they don’t eat up space on my phone. I must say that I feel like about 95% of the time I can tweak photos to look exactly what I am hoping for. A major reason for this is the ability to highlight just a region of the photo and adjust the brightness/color to that region. And it is really nice how how the app also ties fairly seamlessly with other Adobe apps such as the two Photoshop apps. I could go on and on about other features I like and other minor things that just are smart and show Adobe was paying attention to detail. My complaints are few and far between, and I’m sure will get tweaked in future version.
For these reasons, I am generally confident 90% of the time just walking around with my iPhone to take pictures rather than my bulky Canon 5D Mark IV.
My friends keep asking me what app I am using for taking and editing the pictures. I keep telling them they should get this app.

Greatest program yet

Load up your photos on your desktop or laptop from a REAL camera or phone. Create a collection in Lightroom, transfer to Photoshop and back to Lightroom. Share entire album within seconds to your contacts. Pretty smooth. Absolutely NOTHING comes close to what PSCC & Lightroom can do. Absolutely love this system.
I generally shoot with dslrs and use several features in photoshop that Lightroom can’t duplicate or run. I only have the “save as smart previews only” because the don’t take up much room on the server and I can send the “collections link” to anyone I wish to share. There is a slider to allow the sender to download the smart preview. Most of the senders are family and only view on their phones or tablets. I keep originals(RAW) on portable drives and connects with saved presets from PSCC/Lightroom.
This is still my best program for travel and family photos. I still can’t get away from focal lengths, aperatures available and picture quality of a real camera. I print and display my work at the office and my home . There is a difference between cell phone and larger sensor size. Physics still dominates , no way around that yet but, maybe in my lifetime ?
