Adobe has released an update for Lightroom that promises to change the way photographers organize and edit their images. The new enhanced search feature allows you to locate photos simply by describing them in your own words, while film-inspired presets add a nostalgic touch. These tools aim to streamline the creative workflow.
Optimized performance for large collections with faster rejection ⚡
The update incorporates notable technical improvements. Assisted rejection is now faster, allowing you to delete unwanted images without delays. Additionally, slider performance has been optimized to be up to five times faster, making precise adjustments easier even in large collections. These optimizations are designed so professionals can maintain control without interruptions during editing.
Magic search: now you can find that photo of the sad cat in the rain 🐱
Finally, Lightroom understands your language. If you don't remember where you saved that photo of the cat in the rain, just type it in and the program will do the rest. That said, be careful with overly poetic descriptions; if you type the melancholy of a wet feline, the algorithm might take a coffee break before answering you. At least, while you wait, the new film adjustments will make your cat look like the protagonist of an indie drama.
