Adobe has released another set of updates to Lightroom. Both feature performance and bug fixes and the CC version has some new features. It's actually a little confusing as to which feature is in which version, but anyway. The big news is the new "Guided Upright" feature, and the re-design of the Lens correction panel into two separate panels.

I'll cover guided upright in more details in a future post, but basically it allows you to draw lines on your image to act as a guide when using the Upright feature. This is a great addition as while upright is great when it works, it's previously been hit and miss, with no real control over it. This update addresses that problem. Unfortunately, it's only for CC users, so sorry Lightroom 6 owners.

Julieanne Kost has a video explaining the new upright features.

There's also some other minor new features in this release too. The Lightroom Queen has a good breakdown of what's new and which of the changes are CC only.

New Camera Support:

Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark II
Leica M-D (Typ 262)
Nikon COOLPIX B700
Panasonic DMC-GX85 (DMC-GX80, DMC-GX7MK2)
