You’ll also be able to do that the other way around, of course, opening the work of others to provide your own interpretation of their image. The premise is simple – share an image online and the community will be able to open it locally, edit it, and upload the results to the applause (perhaps) of the masses.

These include the 'strange it wasn’t there at launch' inclusion of crop overlays – you know, the ability to see gridlines on your images when you crop them.

The other main improvements to Lightroom are constrained to the cloud-based Lightroom (rather than what we refer to as 'proper' Lightroom Classic), as well as Lightroom Web and its mobile iOS and Android versions.

The new masking feature is coming to all versions of Lightroom, plus Adobe Camera Raw.
ADOBE LIGHTROOM 5 UPGRADE UPGRADE
What will happen to masks if you create them in Lightroom and then attempt to open an image in Photoshop? Is there a limit to the number of masks you can create, and does the inclusion of “select sky” presage the development of the “replace sky” tool currently in Photoshop proper? These questions should largely be answered when the upgrade touches down. That’s not to be sniffed at – round-tripping images is expensive both in terms of time and storage. All in all, the new masking and selection tools make Lightroom significantly more powerful – in a lot of ways they become de facto adjustment layers, and in our experience, will save on round-tripping images out to Photoshop pretty often. Another power-user feature of the new masking and selection tools is the ability to name masks, which is another useful feature that Photoshop users will like.
