Adobe Lightroom 6.7, CC 2015.7 and Camera Raw 9.7 Released

Adobe has released the Lightroom 6.7 and Camera RAW 9.7 version updates. Adobe Camera Raw 9.7, Lightroom CC 2015.7 and Lightroom 6.7 released with fixing new bugs and adding camera profiles as well as Raw support.

Please note that this version of Lightroom contains compatibility fixes for macOS 10.12 (Sierra) and also requires macOS 10.10 and greater.

The goal of this release is to provide additional camera raw support, lens profile support and address bugs that were introduced in previous releases of Camera Raw.  This release also brings support for Pressure Sensitive tablets to Camera Raw.

Along with the bug fixes, Lightroom 6, Lightroom CC adds support for raw files generated by the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV, Nikon D3400, Panasonic G85 and Panasonic LX10.

Adobe Lightroom 6.7, CC 2015.7 and Camera Raw 9.7 Released

We recommend you update to Lightroom CC (2015.7) and Lightroom 6.7 prior to updating to macOS 10.12 (Sierra).

Publish to Adobe Stock Contributor Site

You can now submit images directly from Lightroom CC to the brand new Adobe Stock Contributor Site using the included Adobe Stock Publish Service.  By contributing to Adobe Stock, you have the opportunity to showcase your work to millions of customers directly inside Creative Cloud applications.

Updates to “All Synced Photos”

We’ve made it easier to access your Lightroom CC images on the go with Lightroom for mobile and Lightroom for web.

You can now drag images directly to the “All Synced Photographs” collection in the Catalog panel.  By doing so, the image syncs with the Creative Cloud, and ensures that you’ll be able to edit, organize, or share the photo on the go with Lightroom across your devices.

Smart Previews for Faster Performance

You’ve always been able to use Smart Previews in the Develop Module as a way to edit photos without having access to the original images on disk.  Astute customers reported faster performance in the Develop Module when using Smart Previews and keeping their original images disconnected from their computer.  Now, you can set a Preference in the Performance tab so that Lightroom will always use Smart Previews in the Develop Module, if they are available, even when the original files are also available.

To do so,

1. Choose Edit > Preferences.
2. In the Preferences dialog, select the Performance tab.
3. In the Develop section, select Use Smart Previews Instead Of Originals For Image Editing.
4. Click OK and then restart Lightroom.

Installation Instructions

Please select Help > Updates to use the update mechanism in the Creative Cloud app.

This update contains the Adobe DNG Converter 9.7.

The Adobe DNG Converter is a free utility that enables you to easily convert camera-specific raw files from more than 600 cameras to the more universal DNG raw format.

Digital Negative was developed to address the lack of an open standard for the proprietary and unique raw files created by each digital camera. DNG allows photographers to archive their raw camera files in a single format for easy cataloging and access in the future. With the format specification freely available, any developer can build software that supports and takes advantage of DNG. For more information, visit the Digital Negative page.

Support for the following cameras has been added. Visit the Camera Raw page for a complete list of supported cameras.
