The Spot Heal / Clone tool is now a full brush! The Radial Gradient feature: A little complex, but powerful! Of course there are plenty of other things to try out in the Lightroom 5 Beta, from PNG support to improved tethered capture! (I’m already liking the Lightroom 4 book module, so any new features here are very welcomed.) Upload your book for printing with just a few clicks. Lightroom includes a variety of easy-to-use book templates, and now you can edit them to create a customized look. (Watch out, Animoto? We’ll have to wait and see just how useful this is, but it sounds awesome!)Ĭreate beautiful photo books from your images. Combine still images, video clips, and music in creative HD videos that can be viewed on almost any computer or device. (AWESOME!!!! I hope this works well, (meaning, fast) because this is pretty much the greatest idea since sliced bread!)Įasily share your work in elegant video slideshows. Make adjustments or metadata additions to Smart Previews and your changes will be automatically applied to the full-size originals later. Just generate smaller stand-in files called Smart Previews. This may shave a few seconds per image off your workflow, though)Įasily work with images without bringing your entire library with you.

(This is something I’ve been wanting, although you can pretty much get the same thing by using the regular vignetting tools and / or burning & dodging.

(Another nifty tool that most people never realized they needed, but will probably now say they can’t live without! -) You choose one of four correction methods, and Upright can even straighten images where the horizon is hidden. Upright analyzes images and detects skewed horizontal or vertical lines. Straighten tilted images with a single click. This is to be expected in the natural progression of Lightroom!) (Adobe takes another step towards reducing the general photographers’ need to go into Photoshop for advanced retouching.

Take precise control over what’s being removed as you make unwanted objects just disappear. Easily remove objects and fix defects-even those with irregular shapes such as threads or lint-with a single brush stroke.
