The Lightroom team has announced the availability of the official release for Lightroom 5.3. This free update to Lightroom 5 contains bug fixes, new camera support, new lens profiles and a few new Develop shortcuts. When you open Lightroom, you should be prompted to update — download the file and double-click on it to run it. If you aren’t prompted to update, go to Help > Check for Updates. To verify that you have indeed installed the update, in the menu bar go to Help. The last option should say “About Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.3”.

If you use Photoshop CC, be sure to update to Adobe Camera Raw 8.3 as well.

Lightroom 5.3 Develop Module Tweaks:

To maintain parity with Adobe Camera Raw 8.3, which was also released tonight, there are a few new Develop shortcuts:

For those of you who use Auto White Balance, which analyzes your image data to determine a “best guess” white balance value, the following new shortcuts will come in handy:

• Shift+double-clicking on the Temp or Tint slider label sets each to its Auto White Balance value.
• Shift+double-clicking on the White Balance label sets the Temp and Tint sliders to their Auto White Balance settings and the WB menu to “Auto”. (This is different from the existing behavior of Opt/Alt-clicking or double-clicking on the WB label, which resets the Temp and Tint sliders to their “As Shot” values, and the WB menu to “As Shot”.)

Similarly, if you want Lightroom to set Whites and Blacks automatically to maximize the range of tones from white to black, the following shortcut will be useful. (I still recommend setting Whites and Blacks last, as per this article.)

• Shift+double-clicking to set the auto values for the Whites and Blacks sliders will now take into account current non-default settings, as well as other factors such as the current crop.
