LIGHTROOM UPDATES
Lightroom Classic got a large set of updates this week (Adobe Blog)... and this one wasn't even being advertised at all as a big feature but it is gonna change my life! Because it will save me hours upon hours.
PANORAMA MANIAC
If you're new to my pictures I do a TON of panoramas. I even have a fancy panorama tripod that I love. I'll often do more panoramas than any other type of picture. Then getting home and merging them all is a bit of a pain even on lightroom which is faster than most others. I've often thought they should do a batch system where you say merge this one and that one in sequential order while I do other things.
Well now they have it...
ONE SMALL FIX
They still should give us the option at going through the settings of each in order then run the batch process. But for now it's only all or nothing probably with the last setting you had for the previous panorma. So it is still a flawed system. But for the most part I like cylentrical and sometimes I mess with the slider but the compromise of not messing with the slider in order to save many hours that's one i'm willing to take for now.
THE TEST
I chose a set of 13 panoramas from an evening landscape shoot where I mostly didn't use a tripod (that matters because that means they take longer to merge. But also means they are smaller panoramas usually 2-10 images at most. Like 63 images in total.
Previously I'd grab a good book and open up the settings for a picture tweak it real quick then merge...after a little bit i'd start another one. And in between kinda sorta read a book or play some 
- Stated process at 9:42am ...
- Ended process att 9:54am
GPU ACCELERATION
Perhaps this as well has sped up the process ... i'm not sure... but i'm very happy with the overall results regardless.
YOUR FAVORITE UPDATE
Do you have a new favorite update that you're using?
I may use the color coding for categories/labels... we shall see.
Large 10 image panorama... probably should click on it to see it bigger ... assuming you use steempeak.com
