I have been playing around with a few of the
new features of the Lightroom 5 Beta...
revised Spot Removal tool, the new Upright
tool and the new Visualize
Spots tool. |
|
First, the revised algorithms of the Spot
Removal tool. My experience is that it works
no better or no worse than the Clone Healing
tool in Photoshop Elements (version 9).
Verdict: helpful in certain instances thus
avoiding a trip to Elements & back.
|
|
Second, the Upright tool. It is simply
amazing what this tool does with the click
of a button! I know there has to be some big
time math going on behind the scenes and I
am astounded by the results. Bravo Adobe! |
|
Before: |
|
|
After: |
|
|
And did I say it only required ONE click! |
|
Third, the Visualize Spots tool. It seems to
work pretty well. Verdict: not sure if this
is going to be a significant improvement . |
|
I can't see much use for the new Radial
Gradient tool and have therefore not spent
much time with it. |
|
I will try the other new features at
a future time. |
