![]() Channels are on of the most powerful way to enhance your images. Sorry to say but if you have never used calculations or worked with channels, then I have really big doubts in your photoshop skills. NO ONE here is claiming that Lightroom has the FULL editing capability of Photoshop! Nor have most editing programs.īut any claim that Lightroom is "not really suited for image manipulation" would also condemn other image editors that many people think ARE suited for image manipulation.Īny claim that "LR is just a RAW converter" (note "just") would condemn some raw converters to be "less than raw converters", because they don't match Lightroom! I am responding to statements such as "LR is just a RAW converter to enhance your images, but its not really suited for image manipulation." That statement is simply not true. Then, of course, because of the way Lightroom interacts with ACR and Photoshop, I've used ACR as as a secondary raw converter since them. I used ACR as my primary raw converter from early 2004 until I obtained Lightroom 1.0. If that was directed at me, it couldn't be more wrong! Just a Photographer: you said: "You clearly never used ACR". ![]() So to say that CC doesn't bring updates is the wrong thinking. Linked Smart Objects for easier reuse of design elements Perspective Warp for manipulating multiple perspectives in an image Color Blending Algorithm for Content-Aware Tools LR is just a RAW converter to enhance your images, but its not really suited for image manipulation. No layers, no channels, no calculation, no advanced filters etc. Sure since CC we have had 'Regular CC, CC2013, CC2014.Ī CC2015 release is therefore to be expected.Īnd I am sorry to say but LR is NOT a full fledged solution. So ACR is a sort of proxy for Lightroom's Develop module. If the image is opened in Photoshop as a smart object, when that smart object is edited later, ACR rather than Lightroom is used for the editing. So ACR is an important link between Lightroom and Photoshop, as long as it can support the editing metadata. It passes the identification of the file and its editing metadata to ACR, which automatically generates the binary image and passes that to Photoshop. When Lightroom is told to open an image in Photoshop for editing, where possible it doesn't pass a processed binary version of the file to Photoshop. It might be worth mentioning one reason this matters, for the sake of anyone who thinks that it isn't functionally important that these are kept in step. We’re working to add support to these cameras and they will be added in the next Lightroom release.Īlthough I am not as pessimistic as you about the date of Lightroom 6, I do take seriously your point about the importance of the relationship between the engines in Lightroom and ACR. If you’re using one of the newly supported cameras listed above, please download the DNG Converter. If you have trouble updating to the latest ACR update via the Creative Cloud application, please refer to the following plugin installation: ![]()
