Adobe announced the December update to Lightroom (with Nikon D850 tethering support)

By [NR] admin | Published: December 12, 2017


Some updates from Adobe:

An update to Lightroom 6 for perpetual licensed customers for new camera support will be available on December 19th. This will probably be the final LR standalone release. At that point, it is probably a good idea to download a copy of the latest Lightroom standalone version from this page and keep it for your records as a backup because I am pretty sure that Adobe will remove the download from their website at some point. They have already been trying to “hide” the download link for a while now.

The current Adobe CC plan rates can be found here. You can get a free Lightroom CC trial on this page (no credit card required).
