#Lightroom 6.2 features update
#Lightroom 6.2 features software

The Dev team were allowed to develop, test, QA and then deliver software that worked. I need it to perform flawlessly and the previous releases have delivered.

Lightroom is my primary imaging software. I want to do some clever stuff ON IMPORT. ItвЂ™s been there, getting more and more powerful ever since I started with Lightroom at Version 2. Give us the capability to have a powerful interface for importing images. Please, take care of your long term users. ItвЂ™s very poor customer policy to foister a frankly hopeless release for the need for a splashy PR event, AdobeMAX.ДЄs for the child-like import facility вЂ“ I agree with some commenters here who see it as a way of dumbing down Lightroom to attract the Instagram crowd.

#Lightroom 6.2 features update

'IвЂ™m very very disappointed with Adobe for forcing the Lightroom team to push this update out when it clearly wasnвЂ™t ready. Posts by others have been released and appear below this one so I am wondering if Adobe don't like what I have to say. The following remains 'awaiting moderation' on the Adobe blogs page. Have you upgraded to the new version of Lightroom? How has your experience been? Let us know in the comments! Judging by the comments on Adobe's blog, many are wondering what customers Adobe has been speaking with. The previous Import experience literally made people push back from their computers in frustration. Customers were universally unable to decipher the Import dialogВ without getting frustrated. I think itвЂ™sВ important to provide some context to why we made changes to Import.В Over the years weвЂ™ve done extensive studies of customers interested in Lightroom. With regards to the interface changes, Adobe had this to say: They offered a fix, which has had mixed results. Adobe RespondsДЄdobe released a slightly bizarre response on their blog today, acknowledging the stability issues and addressing the interface changes. Of course, many photographers don't have that luxury, leaving them high and dry while waiting on Adobe to issue a fix. We here at Fstoppers had issues while working with the new version for our recently released review of the Canon 5DS R, Nikon D810, and Sony a7R II, prompting us to switch to another computer with the previous version installed. The bigger frustration, however, is that a large portion of users are plagued by sudden stability issues, many to the point of the program becoming unusable after merely 30 seconds in some cases. In the worst case scenario, if you're like me and you keep your photos on an external hard drive that is backed up to the cloud, but only parts of your main hard drive are backed up, these photos might be inadvertentlyВ skipped in the backup process, leaving them at risk. This may seem like a pittance of effort, but for those of us who have been using Lightroom for years, it can be very easy to completely forget that extra step, very quickly leading to a fragmented catalog. With this option gone, one has to manually move the photos, then import them. For many of us who come back from a shoot with thousands of photos (wedding photographers, for example), the time savings are substantial, as I can attest to. It's much faster to copy them to the hard drive, then import them. It turns out that Lightroom is very slow at importing photos from a memory card. You mightВ ask why you would be importing images from the hard drive and not the memory card. In previous versions, importing photos from the hard drive gave you the option to also move them to a destination of your choice. Moving images:В Also gone is the option to change the file location of images upon import.A glance over online forums indicated that I wasn't the only one who felt this way. I have a hard time seeing why a feature that really has no bearing on major functionality in the program and is only an added convenience would be removed. I know that I personally loved this feature, as it saved me from absentmindedly removing a memory cardВ after importing photos without ejecting it first and risking corruption of the files. Ejecting cards:В Gone is the feature that ejects a card automatically after Lightroom completes an import.TheВ backlash seemed to center around two issues: changes to the 'Import' section and the program crashing. Within 24 hours, the Internet was aswirlВ with angry users. Either way, many are very displeased with the latest update and have taken to the Internet quite vocally to make their concerns known.ДЄdobe released the latest update to Lightroom on October 5. Others found their standard workflow disrupted by the removal of longtime features. Many photographers recently upgraded to the newest version of Lightroom, only to have their work come grinding to a halt as the program became completely nonfunctional.
