While most photography software updates provide bug fixes and support for new cameras, sometimes we get a slick new feature. This is exactly what happened in the most recent update of Adobe Lightroom.

This new feature is called “Reference View” and it allows you to keep a reference photo in a 2-Up view so you can compare the image you’re developing (the editable photo) to that reference image (static). Check the video below to get a more in-depth walkthrough of this new feature in Lightroom.
