Lightroom Classic v15.4 is Live! Cull people shots faster. Auto-detect Duplicates. Sync keywords everywhere.
The June 2026 update to Lightroom Classic (v15.4) adds a new Faces panel for people-focused culling, automatic duplicate detection, keyword sync across the Lightroom ecosystem, and more precise subject selection when masking. These updates help photographers handle large shoots and organize catalogs with less manual effort.
What’s New
Lightroom Classic v15.4 is built to help you move through large shoots with more speed and confidence. The new Faces panel in Assisted Culling brings a people-first approach to selection, surfacing Eye Focus and Eyes Open scores so you can instantly identify your best frames. New auto duplicate detection scans your catalog for exact matches and neatly groups them into stacks, making cleanup far less manual. Masking also gets a boost with more precise subject detection, helping you separate subjects from complex backgrounds with cleaner, faster results.
On the organization side, AI-powered metadata filters and Smart Collections make it easier to sort, find, and manage your images, while keyword syncing ensures your tags travel seamlessly across Lightroom desktop, web, and mobile. The update also adds support for new cameras and lenses and brings smoother, more responsive brushing while masking.
