Adobe Lightroom Classic 7.2 with better performance is now officially released

By PR admin | Published: February 13, 2018


The previously rumored major Lightroom Classic 7.2 performance update is now officially released - you can read the details at Adobe's blog (see also this post):

"In the past, many users have reported that Lightroom becomes slower after a prolonged usage. This issue should have been fixed with this version. Also, resource-intensive activities, such as export, import, preview generation, and HD/panorama merge should be faster if your machine has 12 GM or more RAM. We, specifically, have implemented changes related to Threading Building Blocks (TBB). This should be effective on machines with 12 GB or more RAM."

Adobe released also a new ACR version 10.2.

I believe Adobe also released a new Photoshop 19.1.1 version.

The current Adobe CC plan rates can be found here. You can get a free Lightroom CC trial on this page (no credit card required). More information on the different Lightroom versions is available here. The different Adobe Creative Cloud options are described here.

No, Samsung is not going to resurrect their NX mirrorless cameras

By PR admin | Published: February 13, 2018

I asked some of my Samsung sources about the recently "rumored" comeback of the NX mirrorless camera line and they all laughed... Samsung is not getting back in the camera business just like Nikon did not buy Samsung's camera business and many other fake news stories made up over the years (see also Sony buying Nikon or Fuji buying Nikon).

You can still buy Samsung NX cameras and lenses at Amazon.
