Yes, you do get some new Print Setup options. You know, I checked my version of Lightroom, and I’m at Lightroom 6.5, then I remembered that there is an up date, but I haven’t updated because I don’t trust that this update is an update for the stand alone version of Lightroom—it has CC next to it, and I don’t want my Lightroom version on the desktop to be creative cloud. I may have to call Adobe about this—and calling Adobe is about as much fun as having a paper cut when you have to cut limes.
