Today, Adobe has released Lightroom CC 2015.7 (6.6), which provides raw support for several new cameras, new lens profile support, and fixes bugs from previous versions. It also offers the ability to publish directly to Adobe's new Stock Contributor Site.
Feature Updates
- Users can now drag images directly to the "All Synced Photographs" collection to sync them with Creative Cloud.
- You can now enable a preference to always use Smart Previews instead of originals when editing for increased performance.
- Improved performance when adjusting white balance.
New Camera Support
- iPad Pro 9.7"
- iPhone 6s, 6s Plus, and SE
- Canon 5D Mark IV
- Hasselblad H6D-100c
- Nikon D3400
- Nikon D5 (tether support)
- Nikon D500 (tether support)
Note: While the update allows importing and editing of JPEG, raw, and dual pixel raw files for the 5D Mark IV, it does not support specific dual pixel raw capabilities, namely microadjustment, bokeh shift, and flare reduction.
iPhone 7 and 7 Plus support will be included in the next release.
New Lens Profile Support and Bug Fixes
Adobe has also included support for over 50 new lenses, as well as several bug fixes, both of which you can read about at Lightroom Journal. Do you have the new Canon 5D Mark IV? Get editing in Lightroom and show us your work!
Come on then, who's going to go first to test it and let me know it's working alright?... ;)
I'm updating now, and I have a shoot with the 5D Mark IV tonight. I'll let you know!
Have you tested tethered as well? how did it go? Thank you..
Works great with the 5D Mark IV in both Camera Raw and Lightroom. If you're wanting to use Dual Pixel Raw, however you'll need to make adjustments in DPP. (I believe Alex covered this though)
Opens quick, all adjustments work as they should.
Thanks so much for the update, Jason!
Thanks for letting us know it was ready!
How could you use DPP's DPRAW capabilities in your regular LR workflow?
LR first, then DPP?
DPP, export to... DNG (does that work?), then LR?
It appears that no .XMP info is able to be transferred from the CR2 file once saved in DPP. So, unless I'm missing a save feature, I assume the best method would be to make adjustments in Lightroom and then open in DPP. I've made several adjustments to an original CR2 file in DPP and then saved the CR2 file. Once I open it in Lightroom it appears that the information is not retained. I will shoot a Dual Pixel Raw pic now and see if information for DPR is retained once adjustments have been made in Lightroom.
Either I'm missing something or the two programs do not work well together. The only option I see as viable at the moment is to open DPP, process the dual pixel raw optimizer, save as TIFF, and then open in Lightroom. I don't plan on using dual pixel raw, so this doesn't concern me but for others that will, you might want to inquire on options with the folks in the Canon Camp.
Does DPP recognize all the .XMP data from LR?
If so, then it'd be a fairly simple workflow adjustment. Do everything in Lightroom (or ACR), then open it up in DPP and make your focus/bokeh/whatever adjustments, then export to TIFF or whatever.
Does that^^ sound right?
Hoping there's a stopgap solution until Adobe has full DPRAW support.
Unfortunately no. In my experiment, I tried going both ways. Neither software retained XMP info from the other. The *Only option I see for dual pixel raw in post with CR2 files is this: Open CR2 file in Adobe Camera Raw, make adjustments and let Camera Raw write an XMP file. Next, open original CR2 in DPP, make changes in Dual Pixel Raw Optimizer and then save as CR2. Finally open that CR2 in Adobe Camera Raw and manually load the XMP file from the previous save in Camera Raw. Maybe someone else can chime in with another option but this and what I posted earlier about saving in DPP as TIFF and then opening in Lightroom are the only two viable methods I see for now.
Does anybody knows if tethering works fine with a Macbook and a Nikon d810 with this update?
I'm having issues tethering to lightroom CC 2015.7 on my iMac running El capitan and the same issue on my Macbook pro running Sierra. It continuously tries to find the 5D4. So far tethering did work on Capture One upgrade 9.3 which just came out.

Having the same tethering issue. Have you learned anything about it yet?
Hey Robert.. According to what I've been told Abobe does not release Camera Raw compatibility and Tethering at the same time. This was the actual case in the release of the updates for the Canon 5D Mark III. Regardless, tethering in lightroom is extremely slow. I tested Capture One with a new 15' cable from Canon (Canon IFC-500U II USB 3.0 Interface Cable). Works flawlessly at 15' and the USB 3 is super fast.
Is there any quality issues or limitations to editing using the smart previews? Can you still zoom into 100%, would you get accurate feedback on detail when pushing shadow areas, what about large changes in white balance, things that don't work well with Jpegs?
