There is plenty of chatter on the rumor forums regarding Lightroom 7 / Lightroom CC 2017 being announced at Adobe Max (October 18th-20th).

Adobe Lightroom 7 Coming Soon

I hope this is true, it's been almost two years since a feature that is of any use to me has been added to Lightroom CC, which I subscribed to on the understanding that upgrades would be on a more frequent bases than the perpetual versions of software.

    Good timing as far as I'm concerned (if the rumour is true) as my CC is up for renewal in November and I was going to switch back to perpetual as I haven't seen much of value from the CC package over the two years.  So hopefully now I can go over to LR7 rather than 6 perpetual.

    Adobe deem 15 additional Lightroom CC 2015 features introduced since the 5th of October 2015 worth a mention on the new features page of their website, 3 of those are for non mobile devises, the rest are basically Apple this Apple that.

    I do not know what feature is of use for you, but there where some added in the course of the lifetime of the current version of Lr CC2015

    New features summary for the 2015 releases of Lightroom CC . Reviewing them, I wondered how much they were, and what the Lr6 useres where missing! So if you are a CC user expect evolution and not revolution.

      It's development module improvements that interests me.  The dehaze feature and the incorporation of it and the black and white sliders into the local adjustment tools have been welcome additions since the release of Lightroom CC 2015, but there has been very little of interest to non Apple products users for almost two years now (other than camera and lens support)

      Since then Adobe have given me the impression that the are holding back products developments in advance of a new version announcement, which will possibly coincide with the release of Lightoom 7 (if it ever happens).  This is what I'd expect from a perceptually licences product, not a subscription based service.

      I didn’t see a lot of « Apple product enhancements ». I saw a lot of mobile enhancements. But practically each iteration of the non-mobile (desktop/laptop version) brought new features.

      I think that mixing up all those versions is not good for the Adobe marketing. Mobile and non mobile should be separated. New features should be highlighted (hey, Lr6 users: your missing this and that feature...). Personally, I think the dehaze function is not the greatest achievement. I did a kind of dehaze long before the function. It was only more complicated to do.

      But I couldn’t do the panorama wrap and the upright boundary...without calling Ps.

        For Apple products (iPhone's iPad's and TV's), just the gimmicky boundary warp and guided upright for the rest of us.

        If that was your understanding, that there would be new features that would be of use to you on a more frequent basis, then I think your understanding is a little off. There certainly have been new features made available to LR CC subscribers on a more frequent basis.

          Is there a question hidden somewhere ...

          No-one here knows when and which version is released, and Adobe doesn't tell.
