Lightroom Classic 15.6 Is Here: Improved Reflection Removal, Faster Masking Workflows, and Expanded Camera & Lens Support

Lightroom Classic v15.6 brings a smoother editing experience with improved Reflection Removal, making it easier to clean up reflections in windows, glass, and water. This release also introduces faster masking controls with Check All and Check None options, along with support for new cameras, lenses, and important bug fixes.

What’s New

The September 2026 release of Lightroom Classic v15.6 brings meaningful improvements designed to make photo editing faster and more precise. The standout enhancement is Reflection Removal, which now delivers cleaner results when removing reflections from windows, glass surfaces, and even water. The updated technology reduces smudges and ghosting artifacts, helping photographers recover details more naturally in challenging scenes.

This release also streamlines masking workflows with new Check All and Check None options in the Masking panel. When creating landscape or people masks, you can now instantly select or clear all available mask options with a single click instead of making selections individually.

In addition, Lightroom Classic expands support for newly released cameras and lenses, including Apple iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max camera systems, Google Pixel 11 series devices, OM Digital Solutions PEN cameras, and several new lenses from Sony, Sigma, Leica, and Laowa.
