Adobe announces updates to its popular Lightroom photo workflow software that show users how the pros do it, adds a nifty Texture slider, and more.
Despite a recent false alarm concerning price gouging and warnings from the company over use of older software, Adobe’s Lightroom remains a highly popular photo workflow option. And the latest updates, announced today, highlight tutorial features powered by photo pros, new sharing options, and even a few actual editing tools—a Texture slider, a Defringe tool, and Flat-Field correction (for Lightroom Classic–only). New Help From Pros
You’ve probably gazed at a gorgeous professional photo and wondered, « How did the photographer do that? » Sometimes it’s a result of the shooting setup, but in some cases its in the post-shot editing.
For the latter cases, Adobe is unveiling new tutorials in its mobile apps and richer contextual help in the desktop flavors of Lightroom. According to product manager Josh Haftel, the No. 1 request from users was for help on how to do more with their photos and get more in-app learning.

The new help feature shows users the exact edit slider positions that prominent photographers used when adjusting an image.
