Microsoft’s Surface Pro 3 has been a massive success. The device is loved by consumers and professionals alike for its hybrid nature as well as the multiple input methods that it accepts, so it’s not surprising to see developers start optimizing their apps for the device.
Since the Surface Pro 3 runs full Windows 8.1, users can install any of their x86 applications on it, but some of those apps will have issues scaling, making them difficult to use on the Pro 3’s high-DPI display. Now Adobe has updated its popular Lightroom CC photo-editing application to better support the Surface Pro 3.
Optimizations to Lightroom CC include changes to UI elements. The UI is now dynamic and can detect whether or not the Type Cover is connected. If it is, users get the regular, properly scaled UI, but once the keyboard is disconnected, users get the new Touch Workspace UI which supports touch gestures and is a lot more finger friendly.
If you deal with a lot of captured images, Lightroom is a great tool to easily manipulate the colors, remove unwanted objects from the shot, and make a lot of other adjustments to come out with the perfect image. Head over to the Adobe source link below to get your hands on an Adobe Creative Cloud Photography Plan which gives you access to Lightroom CC. You can even try it free on your Surface Pro 3 for 30 days to see if it’s the right app for you.
It’s good to see the Surface Pro 3 succeeding not only because of its excellent hardware, but also because of the strong developer support behind it.
