Enhance details of your raw images

Powered by Adobe Sensei

You can now enhance fine details in your raw images, particularly Bayer and X-Trans raw mosaic files, with Enhance Details.

To apply Enhance Details, follow these steps:

  1. In All Photos, select a raw image in the Detail view () that you want to enhance.

  2. In the menu bar, select Photo > Enhance Details.

    Lightroom stacks the enhanced DNG image with the original file. The enhanced file is named with the suffix 'Enhanced' added to the original filename.

Other enhancements

Disable People view

Lightroom desktop and Lightroom for mobile (iOS and Android) analyze photos in the cloud to detect people to form clusters in People view. If you do not want Lightroom to analyze photos, you can disable People View where all existing face model data is deleted from Lightroom servers. Lightroom then no longer analyzes new photos and does not automatically group them into clusters. If you have any existing clusters in People View, they remain the same and are not deleted.

To learn how to disable People view, see Disable People view.

Search and Filter

You can now find the following Search and Filter enhancements in Lightroom desktop:

  • Search photos using new facets such as 'extension', 'album', and 'people'. You can also type in 'not in any album' in the Search bar to view photos that are not part of an album.
  • You can now filter photos based on people in them. Click the  icon next to the Search bar and select People. Choose an option from the People drop-down list to filter photos based on people.

To know more about these enhancements, see Search, filter, and sort photos.
