Along with Lightroom 6/CC earlier this week, Adobe also released Camera Raw 9. Essentially, it adds all of the big new features under the hood in Lightroom as earlier versions of Camera Raw and Lightroom have tracked.
Those new features include HDR Merge and Panorama Merge, as well as GPU acceleration.
