Adobe has announced a slew of improvements and support for Lightroom CC 2015. 8 / 6. 8, Adobe Camera Raw 9. 8 and Lightroom for mobile. Lightroom CC 2015. 8 / 6. 8 will add a new Reference View mode for easy comparison between images, a useful feature when trying to maintain visual consistency between a set of images or setting white balance in mixed lighting set-ups.
Camera Raw 9. 8 will support new camera and lens profiles including Google Pixel, Sony a6500, and Canon EOS M5. Old bugs from previous releases will also be fixed with the new update.
Lightroom for iOS 2. 6 provides a better editing experience on Apple devices with an easily accessible suite of tools to quickly enhance and edit images on a phone. In addition; titles, captions , and copyright information can now be added from a mobile device - a hotly requested feature for travelling photographers.
Embedded Javascript
To get started,
1. Go to the Develop Module
2. Click on Reference View. It’s on the Toolbar, and you may need to show the Toolbar if hidden
3. Drag and Drop your Reference Photo onto the left pane. You can change your Reference Photo by either dragging a different image onto the left pane or using the “Set as Reference Photo” context menu in the Library Module.
4. Edit the active photo. Use the Reference Photo to guide your editing decisions.

Performance Improvements
Lightroom CC (2015. 8) / 6. 8 includes ‘under-the-hood’ changes designed to improve the responsiveness of your Lightroom experience. You should notice improvements in image editing responsiveness when background tasks (such as Preview Generation) are running, moving files between folders, running catalog backups.
Fit/Fill Improvements
You can now zoom to fit and zoom to fill. Particularly when using ultra high-resolution (i. e. 4K and 5K) monitors, prior versions of Lightroom would not completely fill the Loupe window.

• Ability to filter or create a Smart Collection for images that have Snapshots associated with them.
• Export a Collection Set as a new catalog.
