Lightroom 2.2 – what really matters?

Posted by Eric Leszkowicz on Dec 16, 2008 in Blog, Lightroom | 1 comment

What really matters to the day to day user when it comes to the new Lightroom? But before we get to that, here is the official release notes from Adobe (full article).

Camera support for the following models:

• Canon EOS 5D Mark II
• Canon PowerShot G10
• Panasonic DMC-G1
• Panasonic DMC-FX150
• Panasonic DMC-FZ28
• Panasonic DMC-LX3
• Leica D-LUX 4

• Turning auto-mask on produced a lag in Lightroom performance in when applying the adjustment brush

I had just assumed that there was supposed to be a huge lag when you did this  Nice fix.

• Lightroom could become unresponsive when using the graduated filter under certain conditions.

I had it become unresponsive in a variety of conditions, but this one was likely only one scenario. I am going to pay attention next time it goes unresponsive.  It might be the program and not my computer.

The Big Kahuna

The greatest add onto the program is in the camera profiles. The addition of this allows us to make finer and finer tweaks to how Lightroom handles our RAW files.  You can make and save your own profiles or use the ones provided.

To find them go to the develop module and all the way down on the bottom of the right hand side is the new tool.

Enjoy.
