Adobe Lightroom Updates Introduce Faster AI Processing, Film-Inspired Presets, and Enhanced Workflow Tools
Adobe has rolled out updates to its Lightroom suite, introducing Lightroom Classic 15.3, Lightroom Desktop 9.3, and Lightroom Mobile 11.3, all aimed at boosting performance and AI functionalities. The new Lightroom Classic 15.3 enables AI edits to be processed as a single background task during batch workflows, which enhances the efficiency of extensive editing sessions, benefiting features like Denoise and Super Resolution. Photographers will now see an "AI Updates Required" alert during exports. New presets inspired by film, including Warm Gold and Light Sage, have been added. Additionally, improvements have been made to Assisted Culling tools and Subject Focus scoring, along with enhanced slider responsiveness, memory usage, support for PSB files, and new camera formats like Sony's compressed RAW.
