GoKawiilAdobe is rolling out a broad set of Creative Cloud updates this week, introducing new AI-powered tools and workflow improvements across Photoshop, Lightroom, Premiere Pro, After Effects, and Illustrator. Here are the details.
What’s new in Adobe Lightroom
With today’s update, Lightroom and Lightroom Classic are getting interesting features, including the general rollout of the Assisted Culling tool with updated capabilities.
Assisted Culling lets users quickly fine-tune thresholds for factors like Eyes Open and Eye Sharpness, helping them work through large photo libraries more efficiently. It can also group similar images and provides granular controls throughout the entire process.
Lightroom and Lightroom Classic also introduce Select Subject version 5, which features smarter masking capabilities for challenging photos, such as bicycle tire spokes, or hair.
Lightroom Classic now includes duplicate detection, which uses pixel data to identify duplicates and let users delete them. It also introduces an improved Denoise tool made specifically for Apple silicon Macs, which makes performance up to 3.6 times faster. It also offers a slider that lets users adjust the noise level with no extra processing required.
Lightroom, on the other hand, got two AI-powered features: Photo to Video, which creates videos from still images and Adobe says helps create B-rolls or reels, and AI Sharpen, which brings Topaz Labs’ Noise-Aware Sharpen mode directly to the app.
Other interesting Lightroom tidbits include AI-related metadata in the Library filter, 16-bit support for round-trip Photoshop edits on HDR images, adoption of a new open standard to simplify tethering support, and keyword syncing across Lightroom’s different versions.
