Adobe Portfolio can now upload entire Lightroom collections at once

Building a photography portfolio just got a bit easier for Lightroom users — on Thursday, October 5, Adobe announced new integration features with Lightroom and Behance.

With the new Lightroom integration, photographers can publish images to an Adobe Portfolio using Lightroom collections. Inside of Adobe Portfolio, heading into Manage Content and selecting Integrations offers different options for uploading entire collections from Lightroom. The option allows users to add any Lightroom Collection as a page on the online portfolio.

Collections are automatically added to a photo grid on the new page. Once uploaded, the user has access to different customization options, including deleting single images from the page, rearranging images, and adding text, videos, or other content.

The change is designed to streamline and speed up the process of updating a photography portfolio online. While there isn’t yet a way to upload to Adobe Portfolio directly from Lightroom, keeping collections intact and uploading them all at once should simplify photo uploads, since there’s no Lightroom exports necessary and the images are automatically sorted into a responsive gallery that adjusts to the viewer’s screen size.

A second integration allows users to automatically import any future Behance projects into Adobe Portfolio, without actually going back in to upload. Found on the same integrations options menu, connecting a Behance account allows for projects to automatically upload as a separate page.

With the new integration features, Adobe is also adding tools to help avoid duplicate content. Badges now appear next to the page’s title if the content was imported as part of those new integrations. Clicking on the badge allows users to take a number of different actions.

The features expand Adobe Portfolio, a website builder designed specifically for creatives without coding experience. Portfolio launched at the start of 2016. Designed specifically for photographers, artists, graphic designers and other creatives, the platform launched with a few tools specific to the industry, like the option to disable right clicks to help prevent image theft.

While Adobe Portfolio allows users to choose themes and create more custom websites, Behance remains a somewhat different platform that’s designed for uploading and sharing work with others. With the latest update, now mixing Behance with Adobe Portfolio is automatic for artists who use both options.

Adobe Portfolio is included with Creative Cloud subscriptions.

Man using Adobe Premiere Pro on iMac

Adobe has just announced that Premiere Pro users will now be able to export videos up to 10 times faster than previously once they update to Premiere Pro 22.4.0. While the improvements won’t benefit all users, they offer significant improvements if you’re using a supported system.

In a blog post detailing the updates coming to Premiere Pro in May, Adobe explained that the changes affect Apple users whose Macs are powered by the M1 Pro, M1 Max, and M1 Ultra chips, as well as Windows PCs equipped with AMD graphics cards. The changes specifically impact 10-bit 4:2:0 HEVC footage.

Adobe Illustrator and Lightroom are now 80% faster on M1 than on Intel Macs
Apple's redesigned MacBook Pro set to release in the second half of this year.

Now rolling out are native Apple M1 versions of Adobe Illustrator, InDesign, and Lightroom Classic. Adobe claims that the new optimization makes Creative Cloud, on average, 80% faster on M1 Macs as compared to Intel Macs.

Backed by a study from Pfeiffer Consulting, Adobe tested all the newly optimized apps on an M1 MacBook Pro against a similarly configured Intel Core i5 MacBook Pro with 16GB of RAM. Both laptops were connected to Apple Pro Display XDRs.

Adobe Photoshop now runs natively on Windows on ARM, catching up to Apple’s M1

Photoshop is now fully compatible with Windows 10 PCs like the Surface Pro X that are powered by ARM-based architecture. Adobe announced the news on a support page, noting that as of May 2021, the software now runs natively on 64-bit Windows 10 ARM devices.

Now that Photoshop runs natively on Windows 10 on ARM devices, there should be some performance gains for these Windows users across the board. It no longer runs under emulation, which had severely limited the speed and efficiency of some process-intensive tasks.
