New Adobe Lightroom update adds improved video support, AI tools.
A new update for Adobe Lightroom and Lightroom Classic is giving users the power to make image edits to videos. The tool lets users adjust the image, then paste those edits across other videos and photos for consistency. It works using the same controls found in the tool’s built-in photo editor, meaning those familiar with Lightroom can immediately get started. Keen to improve workflows for photographers, the software giant has also rolled out a range of AI-powered presets and tools that simplify photo editing across desktop, mobile, and web. Improving video support isn’t about to turn Lightroom into a video editor — although users will now be able to trim the start and end of clips. Adobe has Premiere Pro for ‘proper’ editing. Instead, it offers, for the first time, the option to toy with a video’s brightness, contrast, and more, using Lightroom’s Photoshop-lite style sliders.
