Lightroom Update February 2019 – The Lightroom Enhance Details Feature & More Dropped OS Support from Adobe
So the February 12th 2019 update has seen a new trick in Lightroom – the Enhanced Details feature under the Photo menu.
We’ve only recently been forced to update our OS to cope with Photoshop, now we have another operating system version redundancy forced on us by this new feature.
And it this Lightroom Enhanced Details feature worth it?
Well, after spending a few hours with it all I can say is “Thanks Adobe for answering a question no one was asking”.
I struggle to see any advantage to using this new feature, apart from choking your GPU if that’s what floats your boat 😂
As you will see in the video there IS a difference – but you can only see it with a bit of Photoshop trickery.
***I forgot to mention in the video – the DNG produced by Enhance Details ended up at a grand size of 208.6MB – a lot larger than the original raw file but 10MB smaller than the TIFF from that raw file***
The Lightroom Enhance Details feature – could it be a bit like the Emperors New Clothes, or a portent of Adobe making us all switch to Mojave so they can save a small fortune in development OS compatibility?
