While there are so many other camera systems out there, the X Trans Sensor has always been tough for Adobe Lightroom to render. It’s faster especially for Fujifilm’s files. When you zoom into an image at 100% is when and where you’ll really see this performance upgrade. When testing images from the Nikon D850, Fujifilm GFX 50s, Fujifilm X-T20, etc, the files loaded up and appeared pretty quickly. Photographers have also been asking for faster preview generation. But I’ll give Adobe the benefit of the doubt because of the Cloud service system being enabled. That still isn’t as fast as Capture One Pro in my experience. In my tests, which you’ll find in the nearly hour long video review towards the end of this review, I found that Lightroom took around 10 seconds or so to start up. Of course, part of this is correlated to how large your catalog is. Adobe is claiming that Adobe Lightroom Classic CC has a faster application time start. So on my beast of a machine, I’m surely seeing these performance updates. Before I go on, I’m going to cite that I’m using a 2015 iMac with 32GB of RAM, 4GHZ processor, and the works. If you’re a Fujifilm X series camera user or if you’re a high megapixel camera user, this was probably a thorn in your side. For example, Lightroom was slow as molasses to export images and to render the previews. What photographers have really been asking for for a while now are just performance updates. At the same time, we will continue to provide new image editing features that will help you pack more of a punch in a shorter period of time so that you can focus on what you love to do - taking incredible, awe-inspiring images. For instance, we are working to optimize the performance of higher powered processing systems and higher resolution monitors. While it was no small feat to carve out the foundations of these performance gains, we know we still have a lot of work ahead of us. This serves as a nice complement to meet your masking needs with the already existing auto mask feature in place. You can now use the adjustment brush, radial, or graduated filters to define a rough mask, then refine the selection via the new range masking options found at the bottom of each local adjustment panel. We have also added new tools to make precise color and tone-based selections for local adjustments. – Moving from photo to photo in the Develop Module – Import selection workflow with “Embedded & Sidecar” preview option Switching between Library and Develop Module The concerns that we gathered centered around optimizing Lightroom Classic’s import and editing workflows. So we took stock of where you were feeling the most performance anxieties, and dedicated this launch primarily to addressing these issues. But while the palette of Lightroom features grew, our performance detracted from these gains. The following is an excerpt from the Adobe Lightroom Classic CC press release:Īs many of our customers know, Lightroom Classic (originally Lightroom) was born to help you manage your photography workflows and bring your images to life with a fleet of editing capabilities. The Big Changes to Adobe Lightroom Classic CC But there are some changes that are pretty subtle and that arguably most photographers may not use or really notice. This is more or less the Lightroom that you’ve known and loved for years. Today’s announcement gives us the latest version of Lightroom: Adobe Lightroom Classic CC. Then consider that cameras have file sizes that have been getting bigger and bigger. Lightroom has been suffering from performance issues for a long time due to changing technology, algorithms, cloud sync, etc. While most haven’t moved away the way that I have to Capture One, they kept trudging through it. For a while now, photographers have been complaining about Lightroom. In light (pun intended) of the new changes that Adobe is announcing today at Adobe Max, we got the chance to play with the new Adobe Lightroom Classic CC to put it through its paces. The New Adobe Lightroom Classic CC has surely improved, but it could still do much more
