To start things off, Derrick goes over the application's new features, including Memories—which automatically scans your library to create photo collections—object and scene recognition, and a new editing slider called Brilliance. Later, he walks you through how to use the application's basic editing tools, as well as more advanced elements like the histogram, a graphical chart of the tones in your pictures.
