Adobe Lightroom 5.3 test version supports new cameras

A new test version of Adobe Lightroom 5.3 now supports some of the latest cameras such as Fujifilm X-E2, Sony A7R, Olympus OM-D E-M1, Canon PowerShot S120, Panasonic GM1, and Nikon D610 SLR. It also supports Fujifilm XQ1, Nikon Phase One IQ260 and IQ280 as well as Coolpix P7800. Preliminary support is also given to the Nikon D5300, Olympus Stylus 1 and Sony DSC-RX10.

Adobe has also remedied some bugs like how Flickr takes over Lightroom when you export and you can only view images you’ve published on the platform unless you restart the Adobe program.

Website tracks F-bombs on Twitter

Site creator Martin Gingras, a junior from Carleton University in Ottawa, told CNET: "I'm really happy about how widespread the views for this application have spread and I hope people get some entertainment out of it.
