The photography world reacts to Adobe Lightroom 6/CC
So, you may have heard, Adobe dropped the latest version of Lightroom this week. No, really. The big news of course is that Lightroom is joining the Creative Cloud family. It’s gaining a fair few new features along with this too, including HDR merge and face recognition. A few reviews and reaction pieces have surfaced already:

- “A welcome update that builds on its predecessor not only in terms of features but performance” – full Lightroom CC review at Macworld
- “When it comes to pure performance these new versions are incredible” – full Lightroom 6/CC review at The Phoblographer
