Export Location Memory

Local adjustments
- Crop Overlay (R): aspect ratios, straighten, lock.
- Healing (Q): Spot removal or clone; choose Heal or Clone, adjust size/feather.
- Brush (K): paint selective adjustments; use Auto Mask to limit to edges.
- Radial Filter (Shift+M): vignette-like selective edits, invert option.
- Graduated Filter (M): linear gradients for skies or foreground.
- Range Masks: Color or Luminance masks refine local tools precisely.
Additionally, 12.3 introduced native support for Apple M2 Pro and M2 Max chips. Mac users with the MacBook Pro 14-inch or 16-inch (2023 models) saw export speeds increase by up to 40% compared to running 12.2 under Rosetta emulation. Windows users with NVIDIA RTX 40-series cards also benefited from improved CUDA optimizations. Adobe Lightroom Classic version 12
