Adobe released Lightroom CC/6 this week much to the delight of its loyal users. I put together a tutorial video that walks through a few of the new features, notably the new Brush tools with the Graduated Filter, auto pano stitching, and some other smaller odds and ends that you may have overlooked.

I thought I knew how to sharpen, but the info presented here has really helped me refine my skills. I also found out that my video card needed a driver update to make it work properly. Thanks for covering the details so well.
I am finding that the Brush feature is highly problematic. The rendering is erratic and slow. Attempting to size the brush is weird. It’s a mess. And now all of the problems with LRCC are also in ACR 9 (the Brush feature worked beautifully in ACR 8).
For the ND filter, I find that the Nik Graduated ND filter, using a negative control point for where you don’t want the effect, works beautifully.
LR CC is a great advancement.
Your video is terrific. Keep them coming.

Excellent tutorial, Brian – thanks !!!
You’re very welcome, Dave! More is on the way! :)
Great video! I’m a newbie and this was very educaitonal!
Thank you for all the kind words, everyone! I’m really glad you found the video helpful!
Nicely done, Brian. Thank you for your continuing generosity. I look forward to your next tutorial.
Great job. Always learn something from you. Just a thought, but on the spot removal, have you considered showing the “Visualize Spots” option? Looking forward to the HDR tutorial!
Brian – terrific video!! Thanks so much. I so admire your images. I have seen every one of your “Inspiration” sessions from the days you were with OnOne. I love what you create with your eyes and your camera! I wish I could do the same – oh well, I’ll keep practicing.
Thank you Brian
PS – I think that in using the Brush feature with the ND filter, it is difficult to do exactly what you desire. Whereas if you apply the ND filter, close it, and then go to the Adjustment Brush, you can do exactly what you want, both with the area where the ND filter has been applied and with the rest of the image.
Excellent. Thanks for putting this together
thanks, excellent tutorial, learned what I needed. big fan of shorter, crisper videos as time is always precious
Great work Brian. I always enjoyed your tutorials for Perfect Inspiration and this is just the same. I will definitely by getting Lightroom 6 and I always rely on your and others tutorials to help in getting the most out of the software. Cheers Clive.
Thank You, very helpful and informative
Nice tutorial. I’ve been wanting a brush to mask out graduated filter areas for a long time. Just which that there was a performance improvement to the manual brush – the more complex it is the slower the performance.
I have been struggling to understand how to use the graduated filter in LR6 (Windows) – this is beyond question the best demonstration yet. My heartfelt thanks goes out to you for this.
