Adobe LightRoom

I just downloaded LightRoom Beta 4.1 but have not installed it. I just want
to know if anyone had found any glitches installing and running it. I have
WinXP, SP2 as per the requirements. The tutorials look very good.

Re: Adobe LightRoom

It was at that show that someone reported seeing a file browser mode. Don't
know if its true or not.
I just hope they get what they have in it fixed. They need versioning,
stacks, much much better sharpening, noise reduction and folder watching. It
needs to be a lot faster and the database needs to use less hard drive space
and be more stable.
If these things aren't done then those that get a free copy because of RSP
are going to be really loosing out. I hope they do it right instead of doing
it fast. They will sell more if they do it right especially given that a lot
people that would by have now used it and seen where its lacking.

Well I'm lucky I guess - I get a free copy on account of having bought
Rawshooter Premium. If it has a browser I'll be happy (however one of
the Adobe guys has adamantly said no browser when people have
previously asked for it) but they need to work on noise reduction - it is
nowhere near as good as Silkypix (my Raw converter of choice at the
moment) and some other things (a dust spot remover for example, which
is apparently in B5) - other users are complaining that the sharpening
algorithms aren't much cop at the moment either.
Beta 5 was demoed at a show recently so they may give it out (fingers
crossed) but I suppose they need to start making some money from it soon.

Actually rumor has it that beta 5 has a file browser option. I don't know if
it is true or how it would work with the database, but that is the rumor.
However, it doesn't look like beta 5 will be released. It looks like they
will go from beta 4.1 to final release. I hope not, I don't think LR is
ready for prime time. But, then I am just a user, what do I know.

Re: Adobe LightRoom

It certainly trips of the tongue better. Still, I'm sure they know best -
like they
do with this library malarky. Totally ignoring those that only want a simple
directory tree type browser. Like they can't have an option for both.

Re: Adobe LightRoom

Not to mention that by adding Photoshop to the name this just muddied the
waters of a product that already had people asking if it would replace
Photoshop, Replace ACR, Replace Bridge. Not to mention that someone that
didn't know better would think it had tools like Photoshop. Dumb move if you
ask me. Adobe Lightroom was just fine.

Re: Adobe LightRoom

No problem - I've done it myself!
They've finalised the name, so expect to find it listed as 'Adobe
Photoshop Lightroom' in the final version. No idea why they felt
the need to add Photoshop in there. *shrug*

Re: Adobe LightRoom

JulieM, My apologies, I found the uninstall listed under "Lightroom" and of
course, I was looking under Adobe - Lightroom. (I have to pay more
attention.)

Re: Adobe LightRoom

I do not plan to uninstall Lightroom, and as a home photographer, I think
I'll get a lot from it. I use Photoshop 5.0 and Lightroom does similar
functions but more of them and more detail. I think I will better understand
the value of curves. I also went through the video tutorial which got me
started in the first place.

Re: Adobe LightRoom

Start menu - Adobe Lightroom - uninstall. I also have an uninstall in my
Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel.

Re: Adobe LightRoom

Well, it is slow. It for some people seems to have problems with large
numbers of images. I have had it crash a couple of times to the point that
it also damaged the database which required re-importing all of the images.
For more check out the Adobe Lab forums for the beta test of LR.
