Canon has multiple EOS R cameras and a super-telephoto lens on the way. Since the release of the EOS R3, a powerful, pro-level model for sports and action shooters, Canon has remained quiet, with a few minor exceptions (including the announcement of the RF 800mm f/5.6L and the RF 1200mm f/8L, two super-telephoto lenses that cost a whopping $17000 and $20000, respectively).

This tip will mainly apply to people who have been using Lightroom Classic (when it was called Lightroom) since the early days. The Process Version is the underlying secret sauce Lightroom Classic (LrC), Adobe Camera Raw, and Lightroom uses to develop our photos. Originally, the process version had the year it was released in the name (like Process Version 2010), but then along the way Adobe switched to numbering the different Process Versions, and the latest is called Version 5.
