In my testing, I copied a folder of 254 raw and JPEG files from my Pictures folder on to an external hard drive. When you reconnect the hard drive containing the masters, that editing information is retained. Even with the masters offline, you can still correct the photos and work with them as you normally would. When you create Smart Previews during import, or on the fly ( Library > Previews > Build Smart Previews), Lightroom builds lossy DNGs (Digital Negative versions) of those images. If you want to leave your original files on a hard drive at home, but still have image editing capability in Lightroom, try Smart Previews. Image Editing on the Go: You can build Smart Previews on the fly, leaving the original files at home. And Video Slideshows enables you to connect separate clips into a single presentation. The Radial Gradient tool provides a new way to direct your viewer’s eyes to a particular area of the image. The Advanced Healing Brush corrects irregular shapes. Smart Previews lets you work on your images even when the originals aren’t available. Upright provides four modes to straighten images with a click of the mouse. HeadlinersĪs for the stuff that’s designed to grab your attention: As a group, these features are practical as well as impressive. UI Enhanced: The elegant Lightroom 5 interface. These are part of Adobe’s signature Just Do It improvements that make image management a little more enjoyable. And a new -Q shortcut lets you toggle back and forth between Clone and Heal spot-removal modes. Lightroom 5 can now handle PNG files alongside common formats such as JPEGs and TIFFs.
No more cycling through full-screen modes hoping to get what you want, but never receiving it. Now, when you press the F key, your image is presented to you in true full screen with a solid background. Some of my favorite improvements didn’t even make the top five list, yet make a noticeable difference in my interaction with the application.įull Screen Preview is an excellent example. Others are refinements to existing tools. Some of the touted new features, such as Smart Previews and Upright, are quite innovative. In other words, Adobe kept its house in order during this refresh. Our stock MacBook Pro 15-inch Retina Display laptop had no trouble importing large raw files, scrolling through hundreds of thumbnails, or applying sophisticated image edits. The latest iteration of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom introduces a new set of well-thought-out features while maintaining snappy performance. If you like Lightroom 4, you’re probably going to appreciate version 5 even more.
