Both Lightroom and DNG Converter, which was also updated, in addition to Camera Raw now support the Canon M2/S120, Casio EX-10, Fujifilm XQ1/X-E2, Nikon 1 AW1/P7800/Df/D610/D5300, Nokia Lumia 1020, Olympus OM-D E-M1/STYLUS 1, Panasonic GM1, Pentax K-3, Phase One IQ260/IQ280 and Sony A7/A7R/RX10.

Lightroom has added lens profile support 19 new lenses from Apple, Canon, DJI, Nikon, Sigma and Sony.

CAMERA RAW

Camera Raw adds the following new features:

  • Auto straighten: You can automatically straighten a picture in three ways: (1) double-click on the Straighten Tool button icon in the toolbar, (2) with the Straighten Tool selected, double-click anywhere within the preview image and (3) with the Crop Tool selected, press the usual command key (on Mac) or control key (on Windows) to temporarily switch to the Straighten Tool and double-click anywhere within the preview image.
  • Whites and Blacks now support Auto Levels-like functionality via shift-double-click on the sliders.
  • Added separate Auto Temperature and Auto Tint feature. Shift-double-click to invoke "auto temperature" and "auto tint" separately.
  • Added feature to set the background color of the work area and toggle the visibility of the hairline frame around the image. Context-click outside the image in the work area to select an option from a popup menu.
  • Added option-click shortcut in Synchronize, New Preset, Save Settings and Copy/Paste (Bridge) dialog boxes. Option-click a checkbox to check that box exclusively. Option-click again to toggle previous checkbox state.
  • Added Camera Matching color profiles (Natural, Muted, Portrait, Vivid) for the several Olympus cameras.
