And I must say that it’s very convenient. Two big missing features that were already present in Photoshop for years – merging to panorama & merging to HDR – made finally its way into Lightroom.

This time, however, even after adding around 10 of different adjustments, editing was still close to real time – GPU computing at its full glory 🙂 Good job on that Adobe! Merging to panorama & HDR

I would be unfair if I would say that there is no improvement at all – quite big thing for me is that local adjustments (gradients, brushes, radial filters) work really fast now! I tend to use them more and more recently and in version 5 they could become painfully slow after adding several local adjustments to one image. And it looks Lightroom gets slower, the longer the editing session is so I have to kill it every few hours and start again (LR 6 already crashed a few times for me). But these operations are as slow as previously. What I would notice is speed improvements in accessing photos, moving between them, scrolling through large collection of images, syncing setting in Develop module, exporting, etc. But if you’re using very large resolution screens (like 4K or 5K) the improvement might be significant (I’m still on Full HD screen). If something took fraction of a second to do, if it’s 10 times fast faster – I won’t notice. Sounds incredible, right? The only problem is that for me it already did work very fast. I heard that Exposure slider is now a dozen or so times faster than it was in Lightroom 5.

It turns out, however, that this feature is only used for settings found in Develop module (tip: make sure you update your GPU drivers, otherwise your GPU might not get properly detected by Lightroom). Lightroom 6 is advertised to use GPU to speed up computing. So for version 6 Adobe promised some significant improvements here.

I have quite a powerful PC yet it slows down from time to time significantly. Lightroom is a really great tool but one of its biggest weaknesses has always been its speed. But these are minor things and I won’t focus on them in this review. There are other changes and improvements like improved slideshows, back-end improvements to map module to increase its stability and performance or new HTML5 web galleries and of course support for newer cameras and lenses.

It took Adobe almost 2 years to update Lightroom – one of the most popular photography-oriented software available out there.
