Like many photographers I’m an Adobe Lightroom user. However, five years ago when I got married I was doing everything in iPhoto. I’ve never really taken the time to move the hundreds of photos that I had of our wedding into Lightroom. I obviously didn’t take our own wedding photos but a photographer friend of mine did and, I did all the post-editing.
I’m excited to bring our wedding photos into light room and post some throwback Thursday shots.
Adobe late Tuesday released an update to its Lightroom image processing and management software that includes a new tool for importing photos from Apple’s iPhoto or Aperture, both of which will be discontinued in favor of a unified OS X Photos app in 2015.
The latest Lightroom version 5.7 appears to bundle in an importer tool Adobe first offered last month as a plug-in designed to ease the transition for customers currently using Apple’s pro and consumer level editing apps. Apple will introduce OS X Photos as a hybrid prosumer app for OS X Yosemite next year.
Along with the importer tool, Lightroom 5.7 adds the ability to view comments and feedback from shared collections on Lightroom web.
Adobe also announced Adobe Camera Raw 8.7, bringing enhancements to batch processing speed when working with the “Save” button and converting images to DNG using DNG Converter. In addition, ACR now supports HiDPI displays for Windows, an option available under the “Experimental Features” menu.
