It’s good for parts of photos you want to smooth out or highlight, like smoothing the pores of someone’s face, or accentuating details without affecting noise or bokeh. There’s also a new texture slider for mobile and desktop versions of Lightroom.
Non-Lightroom subscribers can add their photos as well, with photo storage limits counting only toward the album owner. The feature works like Google Drive, with a link you can email to collaborators and adjustable permissions that can be set to view-only or grant upload access. Lightroom for mobile and desktop is also getting a Share & Invite menu that lets other users make a shared album. Having programmatic tutorials within Lightroom keeps the content evergreen and works especially well for international users by having the content localized in their own language. If you’ve ever tried to follow along with a YouTube tutorial, you may have run into educational roadblocks like finding out that the instructor is using a different version of the software and all the UI elements have shifted positions or the names have changed. Desktop users will have access to six tutorials to start, but will have contextual menus to help guide users and explain tool functions.
WHAT IS LIGHTROOM PHOTO EDITING ANDROID
Lightroom for iOS and Android will have 60 interactive tutorials, with new ones being added every day.
Lightroom users will be able to access and follow along with interactive tutorials using “inspirational photos,” which include a history panel that shows each step and slider adjustment made to the finished photo. Adobe’s May updates to Lightroom CC and Classic are bringing in-app tutorials that give step-by-step, contextual guidance to the photo-editing app.
