I would love the new feature of it running smoothly.

[@naturemikephoto]

Haha! Yeah, that might be too big of an ask.

[@MichaelRoachWV]

Premiere, their video editing software runs smoother and more efficiently than Lightroom 😂

[@diomarmuhlmann1907]

Great explanation! Thanks!

[@naturemikephoto]

Thanks for the comment. Glad you enjoyed the video.

[@dougstead1956]

Well done. Clear and concise, paced well, and the information understandable is🙂 very good.

[@naturemikephoto]

Thanks Doug!

[@thesupport4963]

great update!! great vid. thank you!

[@naturemikephoto]

Thanks for commenting! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@Pspet]

The remove tool is still complete hot garbage. I can't understand why they don't copy paste the damn tools from photoshop

[@michaelfrymus]

The most useless and frustrating tool ever. Might as well not have it there

[@MrBillkaz]

I curse it out loud … lol

[@gman5375]

Dog shit.

[@frederickwillemssens1150]

I have the same thought, both Lightroom and Photoshop are Adobe, why doesn't it work the same way this freakin' tool ? Are there really separate teams and engineers working on this? Then I know which team's winning here :-D

[@peterwilson9699]

Fantastic!

[@naturemikephoto]

Thanks for the comment

[@thilinaalagiyawanna3680]

Thank you very much

[@naturemikephoto]

No problem, thanks for commenting.

[@GastonShutters]

The Ai remove tool is the most interesting one. Lightroom needs to allow us to control targeted colors when utilizing the mask. Right now the only option is the eye dropper color which is not the same.

[@naturemikephoto]

That would be a good addition

[@justinrichardson3630]

@gaston are you saying that you want the ai remove tool to be able to target specific colours?

[@michaeledwards1027]

These upgrades will be a big help and produce better results.

[@naturemikephoto]

Absolutely

[@sburgos9621]

Thumbs up if you would like Adobe to make the ACR (person....) masks exportable to Photoshop or making those same masking options available in Photoshop.

[@naturemikephoto]

Not a bad idea, I like it.

[@danieldelfuoco9139]

Apple Silicon M1 Pro user here…. I cried when I heard the news. YESSS

[@naturemikephoto]

Yeah, it’s a huge time saver. Some folks seem to be having trouble with it but I have found it em to work much better than previous methods of removing objects

[@travishenry6764]

I agree also, I don’t see what the folks are crying about. It works fine and will only get better over time. Nice improvement.

[@michaelmcphee2930]

These are cool and brilliantly explained and clearly demonstrated. Thank you. I like to use Len's Corrections in an early part of my editing. However, there are so few Canon lenses available in the drop down. Is it possible to add to the list of lenses.

[@naturemikephoto]

Thanks, unfortunately there is no way to add to the lens selection but you could go onto adobe’s LR forum snd request a specific lens. The squeaky wheel gets the grease.

[@michaelmcphee2930]

Ok thank you . I'll try that

[@allenahale1]

It is a great improvement but a long ways still from eliminating the need to use Photoshop to remove objects. They are headed in the right direction.

[@naturemikephoto]

I think it depends on the size of the object you’re trying to remove. Yes, large objects will still most likely need some cloning.

[@EMOslaughter]

I was so stoked for these feature buuuut 13.3 totally jacked up my app. Flagging/rejecting a photo takes minutes. It just doesn’t nothing. Undo takes 30-120 second or does nothing. Like losing the app takes 5+ minutes and it hangs. I’ve been using Lightroom since 2008 and I’ve never seen anything like this. macOS m1 MBP

[@naturemikephoto]

Sorry to hear about your troubles. It euros fine on my m3 and intel based Macs. You might want to downgrade until the next update and in the meantime let Adobe know on the lr bug report forum

[@peterjozsef448]

I just wonder why the remove and heal tools don’t work as great as in photoshop in the first place

[@naturemikephoto]

In theory the generative remove tool should act the same as generative fill but I have not done extensive testing clothe two

[@wez130]

I'm struggling to get my Sony a7iv connected to tether with the upgrade of LrC. I can connect with Imaging edge and capture one no problem, but Lightroom just isn't finding my camera!

[@naturemikephoto]

Did you make sure to update to the latest version of LRC? I’m not a Sony shooter so I was not able to do any testing on the new feature. You might want to report the issue on the LRC forum

[@wez130]

@@naturemikephoto Yep, latest version of LrC and latest firmware on my a7iv

[@naturemikephoto]

Sounds like a bug then. Adobe is pretty notorious for bugs. I’d report the issue using the bug report forum on their website.

[@timroach5898]

I am on the latest version firmware on my A7iv and it works with the new LR

[@TomandMonica1]

Over the past few weeks, Adobe repeatedly invites me to upgrade to 13.3.1. I have upgraded to 13.3 not long ago and it required a new catalog creation. Since my catalog is 64K files, it has made previewing various searches much slower. Is there actually a 13.3.1 and would it possibly require another catalog?

[@naturemikephoto]

Yes, there is a 13.3.1. That was the original 13.3 release and the one that would have required you to upgrade your catalog. The most current version is LRC 13.3.4. You might try to upgrade to that one to se if it helps with the catalog. You will not need to rebuild the catalog during the upgrade. Alternatively, you could try downgrading to 13.3.1 but I would try 13.3.4 first.

[@Endogamy]

Did they fix the ability for one to zoom in while in Crop mode?

[@naturemikephoto]

I’m not sure about that one. I’m currently traveling and cannot check. I suggest submitting the issue on the LRC bug/feature request forum

[@defenderharris]

how do i set up filtering for exported pics?

[@naturemikephoto]

Hello, you do not need to set anything up. All you need to do is upgrade to the newest version of Lightroom and the option will be there to filter exported or non-exported photos.

[@Mattibelle333]

Hi, I am using Lightroom classic 13.3 and I am missing profiles and camera matching. When I click on profiles and browsing, I only have basic, artistic, black-and-white, modern and vintage. Do you know how I can access camera matching and profiles like landscape and portrait? Thank you so much.

[@naturemikephoto]

This is the first time I’ve heard of this happening. It is most likely a bug causing the issue. What camera do you use? Unfortunately, the only way to get them back will most likely be to revert to an older version. I suggest trying 13.1 since that upgrade required a catalog update. If you know what photos already have the profiles applied to them in your catalog, you could try syncing those settings with the new photos and see if that works while you wait for the next update. It’s a pain I know. I suggest reporting to Adobe on the Adobe Photoshop LRC bug report forum.

[@mikeispace9883]

Now you need one len and rest lens you "edit" w LRC :D

[@naturemikephoto]

I don’t know if I’d go that far. personally I’m not a huge fan of ai but it definitely makes removing objects easier.

[@derekhanhan]

I have downloaded this new version, but I don't have the Generative AI feature. Do you know why?

[@naturemikephoto]

You are the first person that I have heard say that. Are you positive that you are using version 13.3?

[@derekhanhan]

@@naturemikephoto Yes, pretty sure. But I just don’t have that AI feature.

[@naturemikephoto]

Hmm. That seems very stance to me. Maybe contact Adobe

[@Povilaswildlife]

I need bug fix because start crashing all time windows 10

[@naturemikephoto]

Sorry to hear that. I recommend reporting the issue on Adobe’s bug report forum

[@danieldelfuoco9139]

My guy do you have other yt channels? Your voice sounds soooooo familiar

[@naturemikephoto]

Not that I know of, ha ha!

[@TheWoot07]

I can't get lightroom classic to open after update

[@naturemikephoto]

What operating system are you using? You might try to update your OS and see if that helps. Otherwise I suggest downgrading to the older version and repot the bug to Adobe on the LRC bug report forum.

[@PYRO.1]

Does it works on jack sparrow's version?

[@naturemikephoto]

Wait, you can still get pirated LRC? That’s crazy. I had no idea. If it’s current, I would guess so, if not, then definitely no.

[@fixelheimer3726]

I guess generative AI works with adobe online servers?

[@naturemikephoto]

Yes, you will need to be connected to the internet just like generative fill in Photoshop. The generative ai utilizes Adobe Firefly.
