So, we finally got our long awaited X-T1 Lightroom tethered shooting plug-in. But there is more to report about Adobe today:

Camera Raw 9.1.1 is now available. This update improves loading speed of Fujifilm X-Trans Raw images and adds Lens Profile for Lensbaby Velvet 56mm f/1.6. More details and download links at the Lightroom Journal here.

Lightroom CC 2015.1.1 and Lightroom 6.1.1 are now available. It fixes serveral bugs and adds the Lensbaby Velvet 56mm f/1.6 lens profile. More details and download links at the Lightroom Journal here.

I remind you that Adobe promised here that they are also working to improve the X-Trans demosaicing and “improve fine detail rendering and overall edge definition”.

With the previous update (LR 6.1), Adobe significantly reduced the annoying Halo effect, as demonstrated by FXF members here.
