What's new in version 9.3.1

Improved Search for Photographers
New and improved search allows you to easily find photos using natural language such as, "A woman on the beach at golden hour" or use specific info like cameras and lenses, named people, or file types. Available in Cloud view.
Firefly Boards from Lightroom
Adobe's Firefly Boards site (included with your subscription) is a great tool for ideating, organizing shot lists, creating mood boards, and more. You can now send photos directly from Lightroom to Firefly Boards via the share button.
Film-Inspired Presets
Capture the timeless feel of classic film with our new film-inspired Presets or use them as a starting point to create your own unique aesthetic.
Assisted Culling Improvements
Assisted Culling updates include improve detection of shallow depth-of-field images, reducing false rejects for photos with intentional background blur. The reject filter is now more accurate at identifying images that should be discarded across a range of scenarios and includes a new slider which gives you greater control over how strictly exposure issues are flagged.
Edit in Photoshop Improvements
Work seamlessly with your largest Photoshop documents. You can now specify file type, bit depth, and other parameters for the files that you send to Photoshop and save different defaults for HDR and SDR photography.
Pan and Zoom in Crop
Now pan and zoom while in the Crop tool, allowing you to position the crop bounds with precision.
PSB File Support
Lightroom now supports the PSB file type, making it easier to import and work with very large Photoshop files.
More Quality Updates
Experience faster, smoother performance when editing photos with large masks. Additionally, Presets and Profiles, Distraction Removal, Lens Blur, and other masking operations run more smoothly, helping you stay in your creative flow.
Working closely with Sony, we added support for the new Compressed (HQ) and Compressed RAW formats introduced with the Sony A7V.
