Adobe Lightroom CC update brings Smart Preview performance boost and support for iPhone 7 RAW files

The latest update for Adobe’s Lightroom CC image editing software has added two interesting features. The first one would be Smart Preview, while the second adds support for RAW files coming from a bunch of new devices, including the just launched iPhone 7 and 7 Plus. Smart Previews a feature that lets users speed up their Lightroom editing experience will now be available regardless of the status of the RAW files. Earlier having the RAW files in place meant that Lightroom would not allow you to make use of Smart Previews. The new update Smart Preview cuts down on the limitation which will be a big boost for those who love to use the feature. Coming to new supported file formats, Adobe has now included the iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus smartphones and also added the Panasonic Lumix LX15/LX10 cameras as well. The GoPro HERO5 Black gets some love as well and all of these were just announced in the past week. The Canon EOS 5D Mark IV also gets support even though Adobe has issued separate details on the limitations of the camera’s special Dual Pixel Raw files. Owners will still be better off using Canon’s Digital Photo Professional software.
