Adobe Lightroom CC 2015.4, Lightroom 6.4 and ACR 9.4 now available for download

Adobe has made updates available to its subscription and standalone Lightroom applications as well as Camera Raw. The updates bring with it a feature called ‘Boundary Warp,’ a tool that helps to straighten the curved edges of stitched panoramas so that the image is rectangular. Lightroom CC 2015.4, Lightroom 6.4 and ACR 9.4 bring support for Fujifilm’s newly announced X-system cameras, including the Fujifilm X-Pro2 and X70, as well as bug fixes – see the details below.
