This was very helpful explaining how to save the changes to be view in both LR and Bridge. Thank you!

Are there any real estate photography editors out there that use bridge and Adobe camera raw in place of Lightroom classic?

who is here in 2025, fire vid, still learned a lot

One thing I have trouble with when completely changing the background is that it will alter the subject as well. It does better with a less precise selection. For example, your son's ear changes in almost every version of the generative fill, as well as the girl's hair. Is there anyway to avoid this? I've also had trouble with large expansions like the grass by the house. I've tried to replace parking lots under construction with new looking parking lots and the results are usually warped looking. Any tips?

Love this

Thanks Matt! Does this type of AI (ie to remove stuff) require credits or whatever Adobe uses to charge €?

THANKS MY FRIEND!

Thanks Matt for great videos. I actually ditched Adobe for pricing reasons but Photo AI I cannot live without so my combo is now Darktable for raw processing and library, Topaz for my wild life photos with higher noise and Affinity Photo for more advanced edits. That combo is not as easy to use as Adobe but more reasonable money for a hobby photographer.

I'm still on a bench whether to fully migrate to Lr. In your personal workflow, are you using Lr exclusively for all your photos or are you more in a hybrid flow?

How can I do this now that brushes seem to be mask oriented? I can't get this to work with LR updates since this video was posted?

Trying to apply on Fuji RAF (RAW) file and a DNG (Adobe RAW) returned a "Not COmpatible with this File Format" error message.

Glad I saw this video again. I had forgotten about the clicking and dragging trick. Thank you - again!

Only on RAW files

Thanks so much for your video. I learned a lot from this video. What shortcut key did you enter so the photoshop , lightroom and more...to appear on the computer screen. And you click on it to go back to lightroom quickly. Please show me. Thank you very much. Have a great day.

Photoshop Need This Update 😅😅😅 1. Oily Skin 2. Skin Shine 3. Over Exposed 4. Under Exposure 5. Reflexion 6. Shadow Remove 7. Color Overlap Exposure 8. Sun Light or Light Patched 9. Studio Light Brightness 10. Skin Color Present and Mannage I Know Manual Mannage All With Photoshop Option But Adobe Have More Ability to Do this😅😅😅

Good video and nice cat 👍

I had to really search for photos with reflections just to give this a try. I did find a few, finally, and got some interesting results. In one photo, the result was that it provide most of the reflection instead of what was on the other side of the window. I had to drop it to -100 to actually get the removed view. Even then, it definitely wasn't perfect as there were other parts that it thought were reflection and weren't, and vice versa. Fun little tool though, and now I'm not going to be nearly concerned about eliminating reflections.

It's not working for me using CR2 files, even with the latest GPU drivers.

This feature just rescued a dozen photos made from inside a large coach during a trip in Ireland! Amazing!

Sadly doesn't work on my computer. Apparently it is a known issue and Adobe is working on it.

Off topic, but wanted to thank you for your Adobe Plans update video. I took your advice and switched from monthly to annual. Saved me a few dollars --- much appreciated Matt!

Where is the gear ????

Great video. Thanks!

Looks like AI has adopted the dehaze slider.

Do you know if you only have a reflection in the glasses someone is wearing, if this will work on that?

Very interesting video and feature - Might this reflection removal feature make polarizing filters obsolete?

Good tip. I will give it a try. I watched you class on the Kelby wildlife seminar. Great tips !

Great video, Matt and incredible tool

Brilliant information. Thank you

Thanks Matt! Good tips

One solution to a problem is to move your photographs and other Lightroom files to an external hard drive now and be ready for the inevitable move that will occur one day. The external hard drives are so inexpensive and have the very latest technology and size that you will find that adding the external hard drive now much easier to do than waiting until your old system fails and you are in a panic. Than doing little more than plug & play will get you up and running.

Thank you for this Matt. (I'm late to the party.) Didn't know about the website options of Lr. Very handy indeed!

Thanks for this video Matt. Like you I have been debating whether Topaz is worth it. Most of what I have seen were images that looked plastic and over processed. I suspected that people were using too much of the Topaz tools and this video proved that. I have since purchased Topaz and am liking it. I use it for noise, sharpening and upscale. I don't like what it does with anything else so I move it back to Lightroom for that. One issue I have is that I share on Flickr and have since 2006 so I'm a long time Flickr member. The problem with using Topaz, going back to Lightroom and then posting to Flickr that the information on the camera and the lens used on the photo is lost. It does not show up like it does when I use Lightroom alone. I like that information to show. Is there a workaround for this? Thanks for all your videos and help. I steer people your direction all the time as I think you have some of the best tutorials and your teaching method is so easy to follow...

what about edits that were done using Lightroom classics? Can we still do additional edits via the Lightroom if they were done via LRC initially?

Multiple Issues: You said LR now allows plug-ins. Does it always export to the plug-in as a Tif? I can't find a way to "Edit in...." to DxO PureRaw 4. and if I send to PhotoLab8 it goes but goes as a Tif, and again you cannot use DxO Noise Reduction (Prime or Deep Prime) on a Tif. If I export to TopazAI it works on my Intel machine. However Topaz will not install on my Yoga Snapdragon (ARM64) so I end up with no NR available on my Snapdragon machine. LR Denoise runs SLOOOW (talking 10 min) on the ARM64 Snapdragon Processor. Thank you for any help you can offer.

Thanks Matt. Web discussion huge! Great tips.

Converting a black & white timeline video to a smart object allows you to use neural filters and colorize it. Then click on the little render button to get a color video. Warning: if you're doing a movie with half a million frames it will tie up your machine for 2 or 3 days. :-) Adobe if you're reading this, the colorize filter needs more work.

Totally agree that when Lightroom added the local option, I changed my workflow. Lightroom made it a heck of a lot easier to switch out between my notebook and home desktop, never having to deal with a very large catalog. I still don't know why a certain somebody refers to Lightroom as a child's version. I'm glad that I gave it a chance, your course was the icing on the cake.

geat new feature and tuto. Can you please explain, when you use lightroom, how you digest your sony A1 sd card on win computer with some basic folder naming (ie: 2024-12-13_birthday party) ? With LRC it is very convenient. Using bridge just to do that is time consuming. photo mechanic is time consuming. Sony software ? Also browsing in win explorer the SD card DCIM folder to copy paste all raw into a folder we rename later... is tedious. So, at final, i still use LRC for importing and exporting/printing (print possible in LR ?) and so, keep editing inside LRC so can't switch to LR.

Just tried this Lightroom version for the first time after years of using Bridge/ACR. I like it, but...no solo mode in the panels section and no adaptive beta profile...so will stick to Bridge/ACR.

I'm disappointed that LrC still hasn't been given the new ACR updates, especially the Denoise function NOT creating a separate DNG file.

how come in LR update when I export to topaz denoise or sharpen and edit it doesn't save back to LR like it did in LRC?

Matt.. ... Tks for this update and your approach. I did not know you had 'migrated' over from LRc to this version of Lightroom, and your video has now encouraged m to actually take a closer look... As someone who has several 100K of raw images, I think this approach would benefit me... Again, Tks George Veazey

That smart object that was returned to Lightroom did it come back as a TIFF file?

Close Close Close! I hope I remember LOL 😝 Thank you for sharing

I don't like the fact that you need to close the image in Photoshop just to see the copy appear in Lightroom. I often like just to compare the newly edited images in Lightroom Classic before I close it in Photoshop with my previously edited images. That way if colours or brightness is slightly off I can always go back to Photoshop make the necessary adjustments and re-save it again quickly. This is how it works in the Classic end I prefer it for speed and consistency.

Hi Matt, can't you use the keyboard shortcut that we use in LR Classic to move back to LR from PS? Ctrl+S+W? Thanks for the video1
