Support for DSLR video files

Perspective correction

-   Get more natural-looking results by applying powerful, nondestructive perspective correction to your images. Reduce or eliminate the distortion that can occur, for example, when you take a photograph with the camera pointed upward, causing buildings to appear to be leaning backward in your image.

More flexible print packages

Enjoy tight integration with Lightroom

Lens correction

Online sharing integration

-   Share your images with ease on Facebook, SmugMug, and Flickr, a Yahoo! service. Upload your photographs directly to these online sharing sites from within the Lightroom 3 Library. When friends or clients post comments and ratings on your galleries, you can immediately see their feedback in the Lightroom 3 Library alongside your images.

Easy-to-share slide show videos with music

-   Show your images to clients, friends, or family with more style and flair using elegant slide shows with music. Slide shows are a breeze to create, and you can share them easily by exporting them as videos, even in high definition.

Tethered shooting

Film grain simulation

-   Use new sliders to easily control the amount, size, and roughness of grain that you can add to your images to simulate the look of film.
