ADOBE LIGHTROOM CLASSIC M1 NATIVE MAC
When compared to an equivalent Intel Mac, most operations in Lightroom Classic on an M1 Mac are about twice as fast, including launch, import, export, and walking through photos in loupe view. Other operations are even faster - the new Super Resolution feature is more than three times as fast, and batch editing photos is more than four times as fast. For more detailed information on the performance improvements, check out these detailed, third party testing results. These releases will start to roll out to customers starting today and will be available to all customers across the globe soon.The UK’s “Digital Camera World” site is one of my favorite photography sites, and this past week I ran across this post from a Lightroom user who had switched from Classic to LR ‘cloud’ and came running back to Classic. His subhead, “Lightroom CC just doesn’t do the right things in the right way” is pretty telling.
Also, he refers to LR ‘cloud” as LR CC because nobody really knows what to call it to make it clear we’re not talking about Classic. He does a point-by-point list of what Lightroom ‘cloud’ still doesn’t do, with missing features like not having Smart Collections to Virtual Copies (though he left a bunch off his list). I agree with his reasoning in the post (and I have even more reasons than he listed), but one thing emphasized in the post really struck a chord with me, when he wrote: Here’s the link if you want to give it a read. If only I could have both! But the fact is, Lightroom CC just doesn’t work for me.” -ROD LAWTON, Digital camera world I LOVE the Lightroom CC interface compared to the creaky relic that is Lightroom Classic. Man, he’s got a real point on that interface. Why can’t we have both? The look (interface) of Classic is very much the same as it was when it launched almost 14 years ago. The ‘cloud’ version of Lightroom has a much more modern and streamlined interface, which Adobe could easily apply to Classic.
ADOBE LIGHTROOM CLASSIC M1 NATIVE UPDATE
What might Classic look like if they did update its look? Now, don’t rush to the comments and post “It’s because Adobe doesn’t care about Classic” because you’ve been saying that since 2017, yet Adobe keeps adding lots of new features and improving Lightroom Classic year after year, yet this one low-hanging fruit still hasn’t been updated, and by seriously Adobe, it’s time! In fact, it’s LONG overdue! ( NOTE: of course, bug fixes and problems with releases are expected to be fixed by Adobe - I’m not talking about that stuff - this is when it’s time for NEW features to be added). I show in the first capture (below) how Classic looks today, and then below it I applied the cosmetic changes from LR ‘cloud’ to Classic just to see what it might look like, and I have to say - it does look much more modern and fresh.

Now let’s do the same thing to Lightroom Develop module - with its two-sided panels and filmstrip along the bottom and update it with the Edit space look from LR ‘cloud’ Above: Lightroom’s Classic’s Develop Module standard layout.
