LENS CORRECTION — The new Lens Correction pane will automatically detect your lens and reduce distortion, chromatic aberration and peripheral fall-off.
Lens corrections work to help us remove chromatic aberration, pincushion and barrel distortion, remove unwanted warping, and adjust the corners of the images where there may be undesirable vignetting. Lenses from many different manufacturers are already in version 2017.5 and I’m told that over 150 more are soon to be added.

COMPARE MODE — Select a series of photos and zoom and pan each of them at the same time.
This is a great way to look over subtle differences when photographing series of images. Conveniently look at your photos side by side and you’ll quickly be able to make your top picks.

DETAILS PANE — Sharpening and Noise Reduction is improved and has been merged into a new Details Pane for global corrections on raw photos giving better results in both areas.
Since there is a fine balance between sharpness and noise, putting global sharpening and noise reduction in the same pane allows you to work with these two facets of image editing seamlessly.

IMPROVED SEARCH — Search using a variety of metadata fields and decide if the search must match all or any of the search criteria.

CLONE STAMP — The powerful clone stamp retouching tool from Layers is inside Develop and Effects as part of the non-destructive workflow.
Now you can use the clone stamp all the modules instead of having to always go to the Layers module. This is a big improvement.

STACKING PRESETS — The Insert Preset command is now available to stack presets in Effects.

LIGHTROOM® MIGRATION ASSISTANT — Migrate photos, their metadata and collections.
This one can be a bit time consuming but well worth it if you want to migrate libraries from Lightroom to Photo RAW.
