   Lightroom 5.7

   Agen G. N. Schmitz

   Adobe has released [1]Lightroom 5.7, which adds an integrated utility
   that imports images from Apple's Aperture and iPhoto libraries
   (previously, this utility was available as a separate downloadable
   plug-in). The professional photo cataloging and editing application
   also displays a more prominent share button on synced collections,
   syncs comments and likes left on the Lightroom Web site to the
   Lightroom desktop catalog (and displays a badge on images with unread
   comments), fixes an issue that prevented Lightroom from reading
   Photoshop Elements 13 libraries, returns the context menu to images
   contained in Lightroom mobile collections, and fixes a crash when
   rapidly adding corrections with the Spot Removal tool. Lightroom is
   offered via Adobe's Creative Cloud app subscription scheme, and you can
   get both Lightroom and Photoshop with the Creative Cloud Photography
   plan for $9.99 a month ($119.88 annually). A free 30-day trial is
   available with an Adobe ID. ($9.99 monthly subscription, [2]free update
   for subscribers, 528 MB, [3]release notes, 10.7+)
