Chapter 1: What's new
New features summary
Adobe Photoshop Lightroom CC/Lightroom 6 rolls out several new features and enhancements that enrich your digital
imaging experience. Read on for a quick introduction and find links to resources that offer more information.
GPU-related enhancements
New in this release of Lightroom
Lightroom now provides a new preference that lets you use your computer's graphics processing unit (GPU). For
optimal performance, many Develop module operations can now make use of the GPU.
Select Preferences > Performance. Now, select Use Graphics Processor.
Note: Lightroom requires a GPU with OpenGL 3.3 or later. If you're running Lightroom on Mac OS X, you can use the
GPU on Mac OS X version 10.9 or later.
For more information, see the Lightroom GPU FAQ .
Face recognition
New in this release of Lightroom
Lightroom lets you quickly organize and find images using facial recognition technology. Lightroom scans your image
catalog to find potential faces for your review and confirmation.
In the Library module, switch to the People view. Now, choose to find faces in your catalog.
For more information, see Face recognition.

HDR photo merge
New in this release of Lightroom
You can merge multiple exposure-bracketed images into a single HDR image. Lightroom lets you preview the merged
file and adjust the amount of deghosting before adding it as a DNG file to your catalog.
In the Library or Develop modules, select the images and then choose Photo > Photo Merge > HDR.
For more information, see HDR photo merge.
Panorama merge
New in this release of Lightroom
Lightroom now lets you easily merge photos of a landscape into a breathtaking panorama. You can see a quick preview
of the panorama and make adjustments to it before the merged image is generated.
While previewing the panorama, you can choose to Auto Crop the merged image to remove undesired areas of
transparency. You can also specify a layout projection—Spherical, Perspective, or Cylindrical—or let Lightroom choose
the appropriate projection automatically.
In the Library or Develop modules, select the source images and then choose Photo > Photo Merge > Panorama.
For more information, see Create panoramas.

to select the pupil. Adjust the settings as necessary.
For more information, see Cure red eye and pet eye effects.
