The newest addition to Adobe Creative Cloud is Photoshop Lightroom 5, an app that allows you to improve digital photos with state-of-the-art technology. In addition to the many new features that come with this release, you also get the benefits of Adobe Creative Cloud.
 

New Features in Lightroom 5

Lightroom 5 wasn't just added to Creative Cloud, it was also improved. Some of the new features you can start using immediately include:

    • Advanced Healing Brush - When debris gets on your lens, it doesn't have to ruin an otherwise perfect shot. The Advanced Healing Brush seamlessly removes unwanted elements with varying brush sizes that you can move as needed to remove even irregular blemishes.

 

    • Upright - If your image is not as straight as you would like it to be, the new Upright tool can fix it with one click. It automatically detects both vertical and horizontal lines that are skewed and corrects them.

 

    • Radial Gradient - Highlight one or more areas of an image with the new Radial Gradient tool. It provides more control and flexibility so you can draw the eye of the viewer wherever you like.

 

These are not the only new features that come with this latest release. You will also enjoy Smart Previews, video slide shows, better photo book options, and more.
