14 DAY TRIAL // One of the many popular photo editing applications for Android devices, Adobe Lightroom has just received a major update meant to improve user experience even further.
New options and enhancements have been implemented in the latest update for Adobe Lightroom, so those who already have the application should go ahead and update to the new version.
The new Lightroom 1.2 is now available for download in Google Play Store, and the new version offers users the option to edit images faster by simply copying image adjustments and pasting them onto another photo.
Apart from that, developers also announced that they have implemented a new feature that allows users to crop the perfect photo thanks to a revamped experience on Android devices that enables them to quickly adjust, align and auto-straighten.
Also, Adobe confirmed they have added a new Segmented view in Collections, which is meant to offer users a different way to view and engage with their photos.
Last but not least, the official changelog also mentions the update should add RAW file support for the Panasonic Lumix CM1 communication camera.
Lots of buts fixes have been included, too
All the above new features are now available with Adobe Lightroom 1.2, but the update also includes some fixes for bugs and other issues identified by customers.
Here are some of the issues that have been addressed in the latest version of Adobe Lightroom:
- Screen occasionally went blank after changing the orientation from landscape to portrait; - Lightroom could crash when customers tap the sign-in button; - Fixed issue that could cause crashes when scrolling through a large collection and changing the device orientation from portrait to landscape (or vice versa); - Hardware back button was not closing any contextual menus; - Slow performance when swiping from image to image; - Copying or moving an image into a different collection was not working correctly. Please note that this issue only occurred on certain Samsung tablets; - Lightroom sometimes caused automated logouts; - Edits not visible when sharing photos to certain 3rd party apps and services; - Crash occurred when occasionally navigating from grid view to collections view.
If you don't have the application yet, you can now download Adobe Lightroom for Android for free via Google Play store. The application should be fully compatible with all devices powered by Android 4.0 and up.
Keep in mind though that Adobe Lightroom requires a subscription to the Adobe Creative Cloud Photography plan.
