Lightroom and Photoshop Pick Up New Editing and Culling Features

Adobe has moved Lightroom's Assisted Culling out of early access, adding a Face View that surfaces detected faces so you can check focus and open eyes yourself, plus stack sorting that puts the best candidate first. A third-party integration brings Topaz Labs' Noise-Aware Sharpen model directly into Lightroom, though it draws on AI feature credits not included in all Creative Cloud plans. Sony a7R VI RAW support is also in, including the new Compressed (HQ) format, which carries through to Photoshop via Adobe Camera Raw.
