As I said before, I upgraded from LR5 to LR6, which took quite a lot of effort because Adobe very cleverly concealed the way to do it. Then, I had a problem with format in the print module, kind of lost my temper, and downgraded to my LR5 copy because I just didn?t see any advantage in the stand-alone version of LR6. It seemed to me that from at least LR5 on, in ?lens corrections? there was a spectacularly effective mechanism for correcting verticals. In fact, I posted on the gallery an extreme example of corrected and unprotected shots of a tall building. So, I?m curious about the ?transform? that a few people are talking about now.
