Adobe continues to release incremental improvements to its various versions of Lightroom. Those of us who prefer the Classic version will be happy to see improved performance. The ability to quickly create collections from folders will also make managing collections across mobile devices easier. “New CC” gets some bug fixes, and the Android version adds Google Assistant integration, which should prove interesting, as well as perspective correction. Adobe’s complete list of updates to Lightroom and XD:

Lightroom Classic CC

• Optimized CPU and memory usage so performance will scale better across multiple cores on computers with at least 12GB of RAM

Lightroom CC Ecosystem
