Adobe Photoshop users will be thrilled to know that the new Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 6 finally has a confirmed release date, as announced by the developers of the popular photo editing software.  It will reach the shelves by March 2015.

Despite the recently released Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.6, users are still looking forward to the Lightroom 6 version since they are not satisfied with the former's features.

Allegedly, Lightroom 6 will feature several upgrades from the Lightroom 5.6 version, particularly on its UI streamline, performance, and stability enhancements.

The Lightroom software concentrates on image editing, where users can manipulate and process any type of digital images that will be used for post production. It can also work on most common graphic design platforms.

Software Voucher reported that Lightroom users are expecting to see content-aware technology in the new software update. That technology was featured in Photoshop CS6 and Photoshop Creative Cloud, and it would be beneficial to Lightroom fans if it would be included in the package this time around.

Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 6 will be available for both Windows OS and Mac OS X users.

Adobe's biggest competitor in the image editing software market is Aperture from Apple. It features the same tools that are available in Adobe Photoshop. However, the Cupertino, CA-based tech giant decided to discontinue their Aperture line this year, making Adobe the only photo editing software developer.

Meanwhile, Air Herald posted in their website that Adobe recently announced that the firm is planning to let the loyal users of their software have an access to both Photoshop and Lightroom for just $10 every month. This can be considered as a bargain, since the prices of the latest software these days can be quite steep.

While waiting for the official release, some can look forward to a beta version of the software, which will be out sometime in Sept. 2014, to allow users to test its functions first.
