Lightroom CC releasing tomorrow?

Anyone else having trouble updating this?

Mine is stuck at 42% and isnt working from there onwards - keeps saying error and nothing i do is working?????
 
After using this all evening it does appear to be a bit faster which is always handy especially when my iMac 5K arrives. There are features that I like such the filter brushes, collections etc but overall I'm a little disappointed.

After 2 years they give us HDR and Panorama which may be handy but not as good as 3rd party addons. I would have liked to have seen improvements to the processing like better noise reduction, colour handling. In previous versions we've seen improvement to shadows/highlights handling but there is nothing like that (I know it's linked to RAW but still..).

Overall this feels more like a patch to LR5 than a new LR6.

Found the link to "Lightroom 6" - Always confusing CC with x.x versions. Must remember, x.x is standalone, Package CC is cloud install :p $79 to upgrade from 5.7 to LR6. not bad.

Which link are you using? Only one I can see is for the full version rather than upgrade.

Click the "buy" link and then select the dropdown for "I want to buy" and select "Upgrade" :)

I'm noticing LR6 is snappier, it is loading my RAWs in the develop tab quicker and dossing about the modules is quicker too. I'll know just how well implemented GPU acceleration is when I come to exporting this big wedding set later on though. This is where that feature should come in handy the most.
 
Ah ok ta - showing £59.09 for me but you mentioned $79 which is obviously a tad cheaper - are you ordering from the US site to save money & is that allowed?

I doubt exports will use the gpu.

+1

Although that BIT faster on your system is more like MUCH faster on a 5k.
 
Tried another browser? It only worked in IE for me when buying and downloading. Windows though.
 
I do wish the facial recognition was more intelligent for previously keyworded photos. I'm religious about keywording and so every image i have is up to date. The facial recognition is generally good (a few rogue snowmen slipped in) but if a photo is already keyworded with a people keyword and is recognised as the sole person in an image i want it to do the math!
 
Adobe has done sweet.fa regarding the video cache 'feature' that has been an issue for years. Hoped they'd of done something with it in this version but it's still nerf'd.
 
I'm going to skip this version and get another year or so out of LR5. The changes are so minor as not to bother me, I'm not suffering speed issues on my system enough to bother me and I'm upgrading this year anyway.
 
Will give it a month or so and get this. Reading the new features it looks like a decent upgrade :)

I would describe it as essentially Lightroom 5 with a 5k iMac fix, with a few features bolted on. Not a bad thing, they could have messed it up with something radical, but the GPU acceleration is only done half heartedly akin to when photoshop first supported Open GL. I don't expect people with lower res screens to notice much difference.
I was hoping to see some Open CL implementation like capture one has.

Capture one seems like a really great piece of software and images look great in it (was testing it in case LR was going to be CC only). However I don't currently have the time to go through it's learning curve and customise everything to how I like it. There is something to be said for the simplicity of lightroom. If you tack on VSCO keys then you also have fast keyboard editing like Capture One.

Once wedding season is over, I may spend some time with Capture One and see how I like it then. I need to somehow make a preset in C1 to match my lightroom processing style.

I'm having similar thoughts, currently using Lightroom and my only real complaint is if you're using huge files it takes a while to be able to work with them even if you're using a decent computer.

I was hoping the CC update would give some obvious performance boosts but I haven't noticed them yet and while I've never been convinced by arguments for Capture one having better image quality I'm seeing vastly better performance when using it over Lightroom.
