What's new in Lightroom CC

Powered by Adobe Sensei

Find photos of specific people faster now that Lightroom CC uses Adobe Sensei technology to automatically sort your photos based on who’s in them. When you upload and sync photos to the cloud, Lightroom CC detects, recognizes, and groups photos of the same person.

To navigate to the People View, click the My Photos  icon at the upper-left side of the screen and click People. 

For detailed information, see Find and organize photos of people in the People View.

You can now easily migrate your Apple Photos Library into Lightroom CC on your desktop. Your photos sync to the cloud so you can access, edit, organize, and share them on all your devices.

For detailed instructions, see Migrate your Apple Photos Library to Lightroom CC.

In addition to sharing albums, you can now share any random selection of photos as a web gallery. 

To share a selection of photos, do the following:

1. Select photos that you want to share from the grid view or the filmstrip.
2. Right-click (Win) / Control+click (Mac) over your selection and select Share to Web from the context menu.
3. In the Share Settings dialog box that appears, a unique link is generated. You can use this link to share your selected photos. Edit the name of the set of photos being shared under the Title option and specify the sharing Preferences.
4. Click Continue. Your set of selected photos is now public.

To view the list of all photos or photo galleries that are public, click the Sharing  icon to bring up the Sharing panel. Under Shared to Web, click Photos to find all your public photos and photo galleries as a drop-down list.

For detailed information, see Share photos as a web gallery.

Showcase your photos on the web now that you can send them directly to Adobe Portfolio from Lightroom on your desktop.
