14.4WindowsmacOS
June 2025 release (version 14.4)
Added
- You can now access Denoise , Raw Details , and Super Resolution in the Detail panel, as these features are now available as standard edit panel features.
- The Auto-XMP write process is optimised to improve overall performance and responsiveness. Lightroom Classic now temporarily pauses automatic XMP writing during imports, resuming once the import is complete. Additionally, XMP data for the active image is written every 10 seconds, rather than after each edit, reducing interruptions during editing workflows.
- If the Use Smart Previews instead of Originals for image editing preference is turned on, you'll now see a warning dialog at start.
- Previously, files with different names weren't recognised as duplicates, even if their content matched. Duplicate detection now also allows renamed files to be accurately identified as duplicates.
- The following new options have been added under Library Metadata Filters > Develop and in the Smart Collection creation dialog box:
- Has Reflections removal
- Has Distracting People removal
- Has Denoise
- Has Raw Details
- Has Super Resolution
- In earlier versions, Color Labels for Folders took time to appear, particularly when expanding complex folder structures. With this update, labels now load much faster, providing a smoother and more responsive experience.
- Lightroom Classic now retains CaptureTime data with millisecond precision. This update should resolve issues where some images captured in burst mode were incorrectly detected as duplicates. This update does not address other capture date/time precision issues.
- While locating a missing file, you can now easily locate the missing folder, in addition to the existing option to locate missing images.
