Lightroom also sees AI-powered Red Eye Removal – although that often doesn’t seem to be much of an issue these days as more and more photographers learn the benefits of getting the flash off the camera and away from the axis of the lens. Unfortunately, this ability isn’t there for videos, only photos. These use the AI capabilities of Select Sky and Select Subject masks to automatically apply themselves only to a particular part of your image without having to manually add the layer and go select it yourself. Or, if you think it deserves it, you can crank it up to eleven – and beyond.Īdaptive Presets are a new class of preset that’s been added to the newest Lightroom. Once you apply a preset to your image or video, if you think the effect is a little strong, then you can bring the effect back as a whole. And you also get to use one of the other new features that’s come in the latest edition of Lightroom and that’s the Preset Amount slider.Īs you might guess, this feature essentially acts like a global volume setting for your preset. And, naturally, you get full use of all the sliders for adjusting your exposure, contrast, colour and so forth. You get access to edit your videos using Lightroom’s presets, including the Premium Presets and the AI-powered Recommended Presets. A quick trim, a preset that gives all your videos some kind of consistency and away you go. And while there’s nothing to stop you from individually grading and trimming all your clips in Lightroom and assembling in a real video editor, its video editing capabilities are aimed more at content creators producing short clips for social media platforms.

There’s no tie-in or communication with Premiere Pro in the same way that you can embed Photoshop’s Smart Objects or After Effects compositions into the Premiere Pro timeline. Lightroom’s newfound video editing capabilities aren’t designed for long-form movie makers.
