17 June 2026 It's Lightroom update time again. There are some major new features, as well as bug fixes, new cameras and lenses.
See What’s New in Lightroom Classic 15.4, Mobile & Desktop (June 2026)? also How do I sync keywords? for more details. Note: Classic 15.4.1 now released with bug fixes.

Yes, it's a method of exposing PS 'actions' (like macros or scripts) externally to PS. That is making those functions accesible at the Finder/OS level, or for other applications.

More exactly, in Photoshop, you can record your actions and name them as a set of actions. You can also export them as an executable called a droplet. From there, you can take an image in Finder/Explorer and "drop" it onto the said droplet; This will make Photoshop open with the image and execute the sequence of recorded actions on it. Also, you can add those droplets as external editors to Lightroom to send images to them from Lightroom...
