Link.

The best improvement (for me) is the import/export function.

as Someone that normally just uses ACR for my conversions, What are the pros and cons of using LR over the normal Adobe Camera Raw.

aam1234 · 10-22-2009

Good to hear that, Felix.

I haven't installed it myself, btw.

Imported my images ... and crashed 1/2 way ... well its beta

Some nicer functions but not really something one NEEDS to have.

Bridge and ACR are designed to view a folder of Adobe Creative Suite files and LR is designed to manage a library of photographs.

The biggest thing to me is the new rendering engine that Adobe is using.

In Develop module, go to the Settings menu and take a look at Process Version. You can switch between the new rendering engine and the original.

It's subtle, but you can see the difference. Much better detail.

Both demosaicing and noise reduction have new algorithms (which will also be available in an ACR upgrade once the release is an alpha version).

Some of the other improvements such as watermarking, HD video output, the ability to view images on drives without importing (like Bridge) and the new import version are nice to have, but not such a strong case for an upgrade.

There are some hints from the developers that other major feature requests (soft proofing and lens correction) will appear in the alpha release.

Those last two, together with the better rendering should make it a fairly easy decision to upgrade.

Regards,

Peter

I am downloading now..game for anything free from Adobe

I've been using it for a while. Has some nice improvements over version 2, like better IQ for the 50D. But, some features don't work, such as the luminance noise reduction is greyed out.

Not sure what you mean. Lightroom doesn't make any changes to your original RAW files. Perhaps you told LR to "move" them to a new location instead of merely "adding" them to the catalog?

ascending Phoenix · 11-07-2009

I saw the RAWS in the Library.But dont know where the root folder is that it used

swampler · 11-07-2009

In the library module, you can right-click on the image and select "show in explorer" from the sub menu and it will take you to the image.

ascending Phoenix · 11-07-2009

Thank you very much.Obviously have a lot to learn about lightroom.As had prior just used ACR or Canon DDP

What do you think the upgrade is going to cost when Lightroom 3.0 is ready !
