-Improved Tethering for Canon cameras

This is just another regular update. The product remains known as Lightroom Classic CC, rather than using an annual convention e.g. 2018 or 2019. So the old thinking about version and dot releases no longer applies as there are no more perpetual licences. We simply move from v7 to v8 without fanfare and customers would normally only need to quote the installed version when seeking support.

The blog release around the Adobe MAX conference this week shows the continuing development of the Lightroom ecosystem including LRCC, Mobile & Web, building on all the enhancements and new features seen in LR Classic v7.
