Adobe has today announced the launch of its new Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5 software, which is now available to purchase for $149.
The new Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5 software has been created to build on previous versions and now provide users with new editing tools to help you create even more awesome images faster.
Advanced Editing Tools
Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5 now includes an Advanced Healing Brush enabling you to fix irregularly shaped imperfections such as dust spots, splotches, and other distractions with the precision and flexibility of a fine brush. This tool is particularly useful for photographers who often deal with complex images that require meticulous attention to detail. For instance, wedding photographers can now easily remove unwanted elements from their photos, ensuring that the focus remains on the subjects.
Together with an Upright tool that analyzes each image to automatically straighten objects such as buildings and level horizons, Lightroom 5 makes it easier than ever to correct perspective distortions. This is especially beneficial for architectural photographers who need to ensure that lines are perfectly straight, providing a more professional and polished look to their images.
The Radial Gradients feature offers users the control to make photo subjects stand out by applying off-center and multiple vignettes in a single image. This tool allows for greater creativity and flexibility, enabling photographers to highlight specific areas of their photos without affecting the entire image. For example, portrait photographers can use this feature to draw attention to a subject’s face while subtly darkening the background.
Enhanced Workflow and Integration
Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5 also focuses on improving the overall workflow for photographers. The software includes a Smart Previews feature that allows users to edit images even when the original files are not available. This is particularly useful for photographers who work on the go and need to make quick adjustments without having access to their full library of images.
Additionally, Lightroom 5 offers improved photo book creation capabilities, making it easier for users to design and print high-quality photo books. The software includes a variety of templates and customization options, allowing photographers to create professional-looking photo books with ease. This feature is ideal for event photographers who want to offer their clients a tangible product that showcases their work.
Integration with Adobe Creative Cloud™ is another significant enhancement in Lightroom 5. This integration allows users to sync their photos and edits across multiple devices, ensuring that their work is always up to date. Photographers can start editing on their desktop and continue working on their tablet or smartphone, providing greater flexibility and convenience.
“From first look to final image, Adobe® Photoshop® Lightroom® 5 makes everything about digital photography easier, faster, and more amazing. Perfect your shots with powerful new adjustment tools like the Advanced Healing Brush. Efficiently organize all your photos and share them almost anywhere. And now that Lightroom is also available in Adobe Creative Cloud™, making good shots great is only the beginning.”
