Adobe has released the latest updates to its Lightroom CC application and Camera Raw plug-in along with updates to Lightroom for mobile.

The new updates add support for the following recently-released cameras:

  • Canon EOS M5
  • Fujifilm X-A3
  • Google Pixel
  • Google Pixel XL
  • Hasselblad X1D
  • Leica TL
  • Nikon D5600
  • Olympus E-M1 Mark II (preliminary support only)
  • Olympus PEN E-PL8
  • Panasonic LUMIX DMC-FZ2500 (DMC-FZ2000 and DMC-FZH1)
  • Pentax K-70
  • Samsung Galaxy S7
  • Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge
  • Sony Alpha a6500 (ILCE ­-6500)
  • Sony Alpha a99 II (ILCA-99M2)
  • Sony DSC-RX100 Mark V

A new Reference View mode has been added to the Develop Module in Lightroom CC, enabling users to compare two different images in order to make them visually consistent.  Lightroom CC has also received improvements to its fit and fill functions. Users can now zoom to fit and zoom to fill.  These updates are particularly when using ultra high-resolution (i.e. 4K and 5K) monitors since previous versions of Lightroom would not completely fill the Loupe window. Other ‘under-the-hood’ changes improve image editing responsiveness when background tasks (such as Preview Generation) are running, moving files between folders, running catalogue backups. Users are also now able to filter or create a Smart Collection for images that have Snapshots associated with them and export a Collection Set as a new catalogue. A number of other bug fixes have also been applied. For details, visit http://blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjournal/2016/12/lightroom-cc-2015-8-now-available.html.
