I can't wait to get back into shooting HDRs and panoramas with the new Photo Merge features! So glad I'm still gonna be able to pay my one-time upgrade fee. I did not want to enter a subscription with Adobe just for the 2 features of Photoshop CC I'd ever use! Photo Merge is a God send for Lightroom!
Got a tip for us?

What? You don't want your photographs to look like an impressionist painting?
I don't understand what your comment means.

Latest rumor on LR6 for 25 March.
I'm a bit torn. I have really been liking my trial of Capture 1 Pro. There are a few things in LR6 I am interested in that C1 Pro doesn't have. Those are the Panorama merge, a Zenfolio.com uploader extension, and native photobooks. Oh, and the price is a little nicer . Those are not really deal breakers for C1 Pro but if LR6 handles Nikon RAWs as well as C1 Pro does then it might be a tough decision.
One question for LR users. Does Lightroom (or will LR6) have a mask or layers tool so that you can edit individual portions of an image without effecting the rest of the image?

Its called the adjustment brush. You paint an area and make the adjustments for exposure, clarity...etc. There is also a circular mask tool that will let you create round or elliptical masks and do adjustments inside or outside the mask. You can have multiple masks on an image.
I suggest visiting the Adobe site for LR and do some reading on what LR 5 already does.
I take it you're unhappy with the rendering of X-Trans Raws in LR?
Thanks, sounds similar to the function in C1 Pro. I have been trying to read up on it but honestly reading through this stuff on company X's website is tough. For some reason I find Adobe's site a bit difficult as well.
Watch the Adobe videos https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/how-to/lightroom-understand-develop-module.html

No, the pictures comes out as beautiful as I take them. Especially portraits.
What I'm saying is the X-Trans is a different algorithm than Bayer but I'm not sure how much time Adobe dedicates to optimizing the X-Trans algorithm.
I know other RAW processing comparisons, LR seems to come out in the middle. Which is bizarre to be because I think the files look great. Unfortunately, I'm not inclined to use a separate piece of software just to process RAW, then use LR at the same time for minor differences in RAW engines.
LR 6 on March 25 for $150
I have seen this date before as the LR6 release date. Nothing unusual about the pricing.

If you like layers and masking therein generally that's sort of the image editor end of things as opposed to RAW processor. I realize there's a bunch of overlap, but it generally holds. I'd guess as well that perhaps storing layers in a PIE is a bit of a chore, as opposed to say storing that in PSDs. But maybe it's just sort of artibrary or a marketing thing. LR users have been on about this for a while.
Of course if you go LR subscription you get PS, which can do it.
And several of MacPhun's plugins do layers, like Tonality Pro. It can be handy; you can use presets with each layer, and then blend as desired, which can be faster than readjusting everything manually. And you can just erase say a layer where you applied grain, so that the final image has that masked off the main subject. You can often get to the same place with other tools, but it's more intuitive perhaps for people used to working with them.

That's pretty similar to C1... each mask is effectively it's own layer with nearly a full set of adjustments.
Altho it's nice to see they won't be doing the whole sub fee thing, still debating on this or Capture One. Highly considering a Sony camera soon, so that $30 C1 deal is pretty enticing I'll at least wait till the 25th tho to see how LR6 looks.

So, today is the second suspected release date! Let's see if Adobe give us Lightroom 6 today. Having said that, I did recently buy all of the VSCO filters on my iPhone and I'm finding it to be a really powerful and quick editing tool. With the WiFi transfer features of my A6000, I might find myself rarely using Lightroom! We'll see.
Nothing yet.
Is there supposed to be an event or announcement, or will it just show up on their site?
One presumes it'll just show up at some point later. I'm thinking maybe like 10AM PST? Which is about 5PM GMT right now, with daylight saving.
Ya, I'm getting the feeling it's not coming today.
Starting to lose interest if I'm honest. I mean, I'll probably just pay my £50 upgrade fee just for the sake of owning it and having the option, but I've been really enjoying VSCO Cam. It's proving to be such a versatile and powerful app, available on my iPhone and iPad. Just wish they had a RAW convertor desktop app, they could be a great competitor. I know they sell Lightroom 5 presets, but that's not the same as using their app - in my opinion.
There is none at this point. I'd not look for any further dates and just wait, it will show up and when it shows up.
