Lightroom Ecosystem Update - November 2023

 

Hi! A lot has happened since our last newsletter, not the least of which was Adobe MAX 2023! We announced some fantastic new features, including HDR editing, Local Storage in Lightroom, a new edit UI in Lightroom Mobile, and more! The most popular feature, however, is the new Lens Blur tool. The announcement post in our support community has received over 51k views, 995 replies, and 80 upvotes! We've included a video below from Julieanne Kost showing how it works in Lightroom Classic since there isn't one for Lightroom, but don't worry. The principles are the same, and we think you'll enjoy it! Also, don't miss Julieanne's video explaining Point Color. It's super cool!

 

November '23 Remix It!

 

For the November Lightroom Remix It! challenge, let's travel to the north bank of the Charles River in Cambridge, Massachusetts to see this stunning view of the Boston skyline captured by the always amazing Celeste Guidice. Join in the fun and show us your interpretation. Can't wait to see what you create!

 

 

New Features



Add blur using the Lens Blur tool (desktop & mobile)

Add an aesthetic blur effect to any part of a photo through AI-powered Lens Blur. Easily achieve the popular Bokeh effect without using an expensive camera lens. 



Edit and save HDR photos in new industry-standard formats like AVIF and JPEG XL, which offer higher quality at smaller file sizes. You can also capture and edit HDR photos directly on Lightroom for mobile.



Access, edit, and organize locally stored photos in Lightroom without importing them. Bookmark your favorite folders and selectively copy images to the Lightroom cloud.

 


Easily edit your photos in Lightroom for mobile with a streamlined and more intuitive editing experience.
