Performance improvements and fixes aside, Lightroom Classic 7.2 comes with multiple new features, including a text search for finding a specific folder ("Folder Search"), the ability to filter favorites within folders, an option for creating collection sets from folders for use with Lightroom mobile, as well as a feature for creating collections from Map Module pins.

Some users had experienced problems with Lightroom Classic slowing down over time, an issue Adobe says it has fixed "in most cases," though it is possible some users will still experience this issue. This time around, Adobe says it focused on batch processing improvements (how efficiently system resources are used and batch tasks are completed), but the company will also focus on Interactive (interface response speed) needs in the near future. Users who invest in newer, more powerful hardware will see more performance improvements, particularly if the system has at least 12GB of memory. "One key attribute of the enhancements is that they scale appropriately with a customer's investment in hardware," says Adobe. The company explains that it has worked with Intel to improve performance scaling on computers that have multiple cores and at least 12GB of RAM, and as we showed in January, the result is much faster importing and preview generation, and improved speed for things like adjustments rendering in Develop, HDR/Panos rendering, and more. Don’t forget next Wednesday I’m teaching my Lightroom seminar in San Antonio – hope you come out and spend the day with me.Lightroom Classic 7.2-the performance boosted version of Lightroom DPReview got to test for ourselves at the end of January-has finally arrived! And with it come numerous performance improvements, better support for Intel hardware, a fix for speed issues experienced by some users, and some new features to boot.Īdditionally, Adobe has also updated the new cloud-based Lightroom CC ecosystem for both desktop and mobile operating systems. I’m taking the day off today to hang out with my sweetie. Join right there on the spot to see the entire course (and loads of other courses, too!). NOTE: even if you’re not a member, you can still watch the first lesson where I take you through how I edited the image you see above from start to finish. Also, dig our groovy new set while you’re there (the images you see on the monitors behind me are the images I’m editing in the class). Here’s the direct link to the course (I hope you’ll check it out this weekend - Start with Part 1 – the shooting, then do the Part 2: post processing). Sometimes they’re really minor, some times they’re kinda major (I’m not doing retouching – this is Develop Module stuff and some Photoshop).

Part 2 of my courses called “Mastering the Natural Light Portrait” is now online, and this one is all about the Post Processing. In the course, I take the images taken in Part 1 I let you download the original RAW files and follow right along, and I go through my Lightroom and Photoshop editing techniques. 😉 Anyway, I hope that clears up any confusion. I know what you’re thinking, but let’s keep this classy.

Has Edits – is the same thing, but this one actually will include photos that are cropped. So, you could have just cropped an image chosen “Has Adjustments” and even though you adjusted that image, that cropped image wouldn’t appear in your Smart Collection or in your Library Filtered results. Has Adjustments - this means you applied adjustments to it in Lightroom but it DOES NOT include cropped images. But wait, isn’t there already a criteria called “Has Adjustments?” Isn’t that the same thing? Well, yes it is, but with one small, weird, confusing exception (well, confusing if you didn’t somehow know).

This new criteria is called “Has Edits” so theoretically choosing this criteria would make a Smart Collection (or you can filter by it), with nothing but your images that have edits applied. So, Adobe added (in the recent 7.2 update) a new criteria for making Smart Collections, or filtering in the Library Filter Bar. I’m basing my vote on comments, emails, Tweets, etc., because I’m seeing a lot of folks scratching their head over this one.
