Obviously, this is subjective, and not everyone will agree with my choices, but I’ve tried to be as fair as possible.īear in mind too that this is just for Lightroom Classic. These are ones that I believe made a fundamental change in the way I use Lightroom. I’ve also highlighted in bold what I believe are the major or key headline features. In some cases, I’ve also combined a few smaller features under a grouped heading, and I may have omitted a few also - It was a lot of notes to go through. I do not include new camera or lens support in this list, and I’m also not including bug fixes unless they’re major ones. Still, since then they’ve been steadily increasing the rate at which new features were added. In the initial releases of the subscription version of Lightroom, while it was running in parallel with the standalone release, there wasn’t a massive amount of updates. To give you an idea, I went through all of Adobe’s release notes for the last few years, since the last standalone version of Lightroom and compiled all of the new features into a single list. While many of these using 6 do so out of ideological objections to paying a subscription, some may not realise just how far Lightroom has come since the last version. Because of this, there are still a substantial number of people using Lightroom version 6. Lightroom’s move from a perpetual license model to a subscription was undoubtedly the most controversial development in the history of the software.
