Adobe Camera Raw 11.2, Lightroom 8.2 released with new “Enhance Details” feature and support for Coolpix A1000 and Nikkor 500mm f/5.6E

By [NR] admin | Published: February 12, 2019

Today Adobe released Camera Raw version 11.2 and Lightroom Classic CC 8.2 with a new Enhance Details feature that will give you a higher quality and more accurate rendition of fine color details in your raw images:

Introduced in the February 2019 release of Lightroom Classic (version 8.2) and powered by Adobe Sensei, Enhance Detailsproduces crisp detail, improved color rendering, more accurate renditions of edges, and fewer artifacts. Enhance Details is especially useful for making large prints, where fine details are more visible. This feature applies to raw mosaic files from cameras with Bayer sensors (Canon, Nikon, Sony, and others) and Fujifilm X-Trans sensors.

Adobe also added support for the Nikon Coolpix A1000 camera and Nikon AF-S Nikkor 500mm f/5.6E PF ED VR lens with different teleconverter combinations (see new cameras and new lens support added):
