Lightroom 9.0 is released

We now have Lightroom 9.0
Lightroom Classic 9.0 – Fill Edges for Panoramas, Batch Export, Improved Performance and more!

I'm not entirely sure about the update, I'll see how it is after using it for a while, but so far after updating the app and my catalog, LR seems a bit more sluggish in many ways

Those seem like some pretty big updates, especially the content aware on panoramas.

I hope they fixed the importing preset process. It used to be as simple as drag and drop and something happened a few versions ago to make it excruciating. I don't add presets very often but it's a pain when I do.

I will probably wait a week or two to upgrade.

I’ve been messing with it as part of a 7 day trial. Certainly being tempted by the $9.99 LR + 1TB cloud plan.

Other than content aware fill for panos...not so much for Lr Classic in that release. The companion PS 2020 had lots more enhancements.

I guess there’s 2 versions of LR now? I guess my trial is regular LR and not classic. Why are export options so limited? I like having customizable export options.

There is a lightweight version and the regular old school version.

To be clear, there is 'Lightroom Classic' - the original full-featured product, and 'Lightroom' which is a newer release designed to work from images stored in the cloud, allowing you to edit the same images on multiple devices. The newer product is currently not as well featured as Classic but as with Photoshop for iPad Adobe promise regular updates to bring them up to standard. Many serious photographers are concerned about the upload/download times, the costs of cloud storage and security of backups although to be honest few of us have actually tried it.
