Ok, I know things have been quiet on this blog lately. It’s a long story, but things will get back to normal one day – or so I keep telling myself!
In the meantime, exciting news – Lightroom 3.3 is now available a Release Candidate – which means it’s been tested like a final release but they want additional feedback from a wider range of users. It’s stable, and it’s got some good bug fixes, so a pretty solid update. You can download it from:
New cameras:
- Nikon D7000, P7000, D3100
- Canon S95, G12
- Panasonic DMC-GH2
- Samsung NX100, TL350/WB2000
There’s a list of bug fixes at Lightroom Journal but if you don’t want to read the whole list, the biggest ones are clone/heal spots that could previously cause crashing and Limit File Size which removed the metadata in 3.2.
Even more exciting is the release of the Adobe Lens Profile Downloader. Until now, only CS5 users could download lens profiles that had been uploaded by community members, but the LPD now allows everyone to search and download those shared profile.
If you download the 3.3 RC, you’ll also want the matching ACR 6.3 RC for compatibility with Photoshop.
Enjoy!
Please create a profile for the Nikon D300 with Nikkor 24-85mm f2.8-4.
Also, D300 with Nikkor 50mm f1.4 D lens.
[Allen, I’d love to but I don’t have either of those combinations. You could download the Lens Profile Downloader mentioned above to see whether anyone has already profiled those lenses, or download the Lens Profile Creator to build your own. – VB]
mhm… no support for tethered shooting with my canon 550d. that sux.
by the way i thought adobe could do better.
the software from breeze systems for tetherd shooting is great.
adobe should be able to match this.
im a studio photographer and i could really need the features DSLR-Remote-Pro offers in LR.
[It’s a new feature, so there’s nothing to say it won’t be added to and improve in the future. They are using the manufacturer’s own SDK, so it is dependent on Canon releases. Many of the Canon cameras already work, even though they’re not officially supported, so it may be worth trying. – VB]
