A must for photographers and fans of RAW

Not to do a complete test this version I will try to help those who have read the reviews of previous versions and try to bring them an answer: should we or not go to Lightroom 5 especially if you have version 4

1 no fundamental changes, but interesting improvements.
2 interesting if you work in RAW
3 price full version or update, equivalent to other products like DXO Pro V8

Dynamic insights will enable you to work on the photograph on a mobile computer, without having the original RAW picture often too high up. This overview is between miniatures and RAW.
We can work on it, loading the photo to 2540 pixels on the largest side (in landscape mode width, height in portrait mode). Example, the Raw D800 weighs from 36 to 40 MB, and then we can have a glimpse of 1.5 MB to work on. And the trick is when will link list on which we worked and Raw of origin, synchronize their settings: awesome right?

A full screen mode is achieved by pressing the F key note, the picture will occupy ALL the screen where there are top banners and / or low on other software.

Possibility to "cleanse" your photos defects, remove a detail, an object, a person through his brush. But it does not just delete but they will need replacing and there, Lightroom will conduct a filling taking into account the initial environment of what was deleted.
Better, the removal tool identifies defects dust on the photo, how? Once chosen the brush, pressing the A button and the image becomes black and white, full of contrasts and after some adjustments are emerging dust.

With the radial gradient, it is possible to add more depth of field ... to discover.

The Upright function straightens the outlook for ViewPoint image DXO, especially when taking pictures with a super wide angle and step back, we get a parallax effect which can thus disappear. Be careful to frame the picture with sufficient margin on the sides and top to have a correct view of a building.
You can add video clips to your slideshows to give something more interactive.
Innovations also in photos catalogs too numerous to describe.

In short: This version is to acquire, even if it does not revolutionize the previous version. For those who must buy software, they can choose between DXO Pro 8 or Lightroom 5 even if the first does not have all the possibilities of the second on "local" touch-ups.
As for me, I Capture NX2, DXO Pro 8 and now Lightroom 5, each bringing a lot of opportunities especially by working in RAW or DNG, we lose nothing in quality.

Overall rating: 17/20 - recommended to purchase
