Today Adobe announced a bunch of important updates to its ecosystem, with Lightroom Classic CC, Lightroom CC and mobile versions of apps receiving some new features. For example, the desktop version of Lightroom CC finally received the ability to stitch HDRs, panoramas, and HDR panoramas, while Lightroom Classic CC now has better tethering support for Nikon cameras (you can read about these changes in Adobe’s announcement post). However, the most exciting new feature any Creative Cloud subscriber can now access is called “Enhance Details”, which uses machine learning and computational photography to enhance the level of detail in images. This feature is accessible through Adobe Camera RAW, Lightroom Classic CC and Lightroom CC for both Mac and PC platforms. What’s so exciting about it? Well, it brings new levels of detail to images we have never seen before and these details can be applied to all existing RAW images. In fact, as I went through this feature in Lightroom, I discovered that this feature not only enhances sharpness in images, but also adds details that have never been there before in the first place. This essentially makes “Enhance Details” a very powerful tool. Let’s take a look at a few sample images to see exactly what happens.
