Advanced Healing Brush—Make your images spotless with a single brush stroke. Adjust the size of the brush and move it in
precise paths. Unwanted objects and flaws— even those with irregular shapes like threads—just disappear.
Upright™—Straighten tilted images with a single click. The new Upright tool analyzes images and detects skewed horizontal
and vertical lines, even straightening shots where the horizon is hidden.

you create off-center vignette effects, or multiple vignetted areas within a single image.
Smart Previews—Easily work with images without bringing your entire library with you. Just generate smaller stand-in files
called Smart Previews. Make adjustments or metadata additions to the Smart Previews and apply your changes to the full-size
originals later.
Video slide shows—Easily share your work in elegant video slide shows. Combine still images, video clips, and music in
creative HD videos that can be viewed on almost any computer or device.
Improved photo book creation—Create beautiful photo books from your images. Lightroom includes a variety of easy-to-use
book templates, and now you can edit them to create a customized look. Upload your book for printing with just a few clicks.
Location-based organization—Find, group, and tag images by location, or plot a photo journey. Automatically display location
data from GPS-enabled cameras and camera phones.

support for the latest Mac OS and Windows® operating systems.

pixel-level editing. See your results immediately back in Lightroom.

you have more power than ever before to create great images in challenging light.
Selective adjustment brushes—Expand your creative control with flexible brushes that let you adjust targeted areas of your
photo for just the look you want. Selectively adjust brightness, contrast, white balance, sharpness, noise reduction, moiré
removal, and much more.
Superior noise reduction—Get amazing, natural-looking results from your high ISO images with state-of-the-art noise reduction
technology. Apply noise reduction to the entire image or target specific areas.
Nondestructive environment—Set your creativity free in a nondestructive editing environment that lets you experiment without
limits. Your original images are never altered, and it’s easy to reverse your steps or save multiple versions of any photo.
Advanced black-and-white conversion—Gain powerful control over the tonal qualities that make or break black-and-white
images. Precisely mix information from eight color channels when you convert to grayscale.
Online sharing integration—Easily post images to social media and photo sharing sites like Facebook and Flickr®. With selected
sites, online comments about your images are visible in the Lightroom library alongside your images.
