The folder/collection color labels can now be given different names to the image labels, so red labels on images might mean they’re HDR images, but a blue collection may mean it needs editing. They’re useful for marking workflow progress and highlighting the most important folders. In Lightroom 7.4, we gained the ability to add color labels to folders, and in 8.4, they can now be added to collections, smart collections and collection sets too. It’s also smart enough to skip any loose photos in the selection.ĭragging a photo from the Filmstrip onto an empty space on a page now automatically creates a cell for the photo.Īfter many years of feature requests, PNG format has been added to the export options! PNG is primarily used on the web, particularly for graphics or images with transparency. If there’s more than one stack selected, it bypasses the dialog and uses the last-used settings, just like the existing headless shortcut. ![]() Real estate photographers rejoice! Combined with Auto Stack by Capture Time, this will be a real timesaver. Auto is the default, Off is useful if you get crashes or strange artifacts, and Custom allows you to pick which GPU enhancements to use.īy popular demand, you can now select multiple collapsed stacks and merge them to HDR or Panorama in one go, rather than having to start each merge individually. The photos also need to be set to Process Version 5 to benefit from these performance enhancements.īecause there are many possible combinations of GPUs, drivers and driver settings, there are some new preference settings. On Windows, you’ll need Windows 10, a graphics card with DirectX 12 support, at least 2GB of VRAM and a driver released in the last few months. If you own a Mac, you’ll need macOS 10.14 or later (ideally 10.14.5+), and a graphics card with Metal support and at least 2GB of VRAM. To benefit from these latest enhancements, the minimum graphics card requirements are slightly higher than the basic system requirements. In this release, Lightroom can also use higher-specification GPUs to speed up image calculations in the Develop module, so when you move a slider, it’s much faster to update. Since version 6.0, Lightroom’s been able to use the GPU for display visualization – in other words, to improve how quickly pixels are drawn on the screen, especially on high resolution monitors. ![]() This appears to be due to an operating system change, and is being investigated urgently. There’s an issue with HDR/Pano merges on macOS 10.14.6 with earlier LR versions as well as 8.4.For the long term, customers are strongly recommended to consider updating your machine to the latest Windows and macOS and GPU drivers to take advantage of the possible GPU performance gain. The team is investigating possible temporary relief. There is currently no known workaround for the bug. The reason is that some OS vendors have make it public that they will deprecate the OpenGL API soon. Practically, this typically means the bug will show up if you have a Windows 7 OS and/or older version of GPU card or driver. Although this is recognized as a bug, but the team has planned to drop OpenGL support in the next release. Simon Chen (engineer) has this to say: If your OS, GPU card and driver version does not support the DirectX 12/Metal, then the OpenGL based GPU acceleration fallback is no longer available in the latest LrClassic 8.4 release (also applies to ACR 11.4, LrCC 2.4). Lower specification GPU’s can no longer enable any GPU acceleration, although it worked in 8.3 and earlier.Update – A couple of days on, the release is looking very stable. The entire Lightroom cloud ecosystem has also been updated. The engineering team has spent this release cycle focusing on performance improvements, including some foundational work that you can’t see, as well as the usual bug fixes and new camera/ lens support. Lightroom Classic 8.4 has been released today.
