Adobe has issued a big update for Creative Cloud today with new features for both Lightroom CC and Photoshop CC. Lightroom CC gets a new Dehaze feature; however, for the first time, Lightroom CC and Lightroom 6 are on diverging upgrade paths. [Read more…]
Here’s a sneak peek look at Lightroom CC’s upcoming Dehaze feature that will remove haze from your images using a single slider. No word on the release date, but it looks pretty slick.
Hopefully, it will hit along with the other CC updates we expect to see within the next few weeks.
Unfortunately, this is a rather common occurrence after major software updates with Adobe’s Creative Cloud system. Today, tons of users are experiencing crashes when trying to open Lightroom CC for the first time. I was one of them.

Adobe has announced the major updates for Premiere Pro and the other video-centric apps in the Creative Cloud suite, which will be thoroughly highlighted next week during NAB 2015.
See the highlights of the various updates in the 3-minute overview video below. [Read more…]
It is common practice for software companies to stop supporting older operating systems at some point. However, Adobe’s upcoming major Creative Cloud update will require Mac OS X 10.9 or higher to run applications like Photoshop, Premiere Pro and After Effects. OS X 10.9 was released less than two years ago. That is pretty cut-throat for OS support.
Of course, Adobe claims this is all for the good of the user “in order to take advantage of the latest operating system and technologies.” With NAB around the corner, we will probably see what’s under the curtain the next two or three weeks.
Lightroom 6 is a little more lenient and will support OS X 10.8 and above.
Regardless, if you are stuck on an older version of Mac OS X due to support for legacy software apps, then it is time to make a decision about what’s more important to your workflow. Or, at the very least, figure out a dual boot scenario that works for you and your system.
If you want to upgrade, of course, Apple offers a free update to OS X 10.10.
The next major Creative Cloud release is presumed to support at least Windows 7 and up, although Adobe has not officially confirmed that yet. We’ll let you know if that changes.
Lightroom mobile is now available for Android phones. Previously, Adobe had released Lightroom mobile for iPad and iPhone.
Now, all of you Samsung Galaxy and Note users, along with other Android devices devices that meet the minimum requirements of a Quad Core CPU with 1.7GHz ARMv7 architechture, 1GB RAM, 8GB internal storage and Jellybean, KitKat or Lollipop OS.
Key Lightroom mobile capabilities include:
Of course Lightroom mobile requires a Creative Cloud subscription in order to sync your Lightroom catalog from you Mac or PC, but it is no additional cost if you are a Creative Cloud member. You can download Lightroom mobile for Android here on the Google Play Store.
