Lightroom 3 Beta is out.

Go here to read about it, download it. Expires 4/30/2010.
Remember not to use on a production computer, this is a beta!

Not that I want to complaint or anything, but is it just me or the "new features" hardly warrant a 3.0 tag?  On the positive side, there is a mention somewhere about new architecture for better performance in handling large size libaries, and personally this is the one I really look forward to test in final 3.0 .  Appart from that, perhaps one of the most useful new feature is finally to have integrated custom watermarking (which was working perfectly with the Mogrify plugin, but it's nice to finally see such an important feature make its way in LR).
Granted it is only a Beta, and there will be possibly new things added.  But I'm really not impressed with what I saw in the videos at http://www.photoshopuser.com/lightroom3 . Perhaps if they had called it 2.6 ...  but 3.0 ??

  • Lightroom 4 beta - captions out of sync with photo

    I thought this email export was great and includig my capitons as well.  When I emailed them the captions would't stay with the photo they belonged to - out of order.   Exported 12 pics with email - all out of order.  Exported again just 3 pics and in order.  I hope this can be corrected because it was a great feature.

    Same here, much confusion with the captions being out of any order when using the internal e-mail client.

  • Lightroom 5 Beta - Most Thorough + Detailed  Reviews?

    Hi. Where are the most profound and deep reviews  or introductions of Lightroom 5 Beta? I do not need general reviews just touching the highlights (such as in DPR).
    I'd like a deeper look at interesting details such as this look at the new crop functions:
    https://holycrop.wordpress.com/2013/04/15/holy-crop-lightroom-5-the-crop-enhancements
    Again, general overviews are not needed. Only deep-diving general reviews or reviews of certain aspects (especially image editing and image managing).
    Is there anything to read that's interesting even after having digested all the headline news? I am also interested in "Still Missed" lists and in reasonable speculations about features that might still show up in version 5. I'd prefer a written review over video.
    Thanks for all links!

    The LR5 beta has been out for 2 days and there are a few “what’s new” lists.  If you want things about “what’s old”, you mention image-management which hasn’t changed much if at all in LR5, then find an in-depth LR4 review after looking at the “what’s new” for LR5 so you can tell what is different.  In general, because it’s a beta there may or may not be any descriptions of LR5 as if you’ve never heard of LR, before.  If you don’t want to watch videos, get a LR4 book, that has the space to go through things step by step as a video would show you.

  • Lightroom 4 Beta to Final Book Transfer

    Hi,
    Using Lightroom 4 64bits on Win 7.
    I created a large book in Lightroom 4 Beta and would like to export it to Lightroom 4 (Final). I understand Lightroom is storing book as "special" collections so I would be happy to re-import a collection in Lightroom 4 - but ideally I would like to import the "layout" only and map photo files to my existing library - with locate pictures or something similar.
    Could you someone explain how we could migrate books from beta to final version ?
    Many Thanks,
    Jean-Philippe

    Exporting as Catalog and importing as Catalog works - however I end up with duplicate pictures in my main catalog.
    There is an option "Import collection only - no file" but it's greyed out, and it is not possible to "locate" files from my main catalog. So the book is in but I can't change location of files to my main catalog.

  • Importing images form Lightroom 5 Beta into Lightroom 4

    I have been using Lightroom 5 Beta for the last few months and have inputted a number of images. When I look for these with lightroom 4 the lightroom 5 library is empty.  Has anyone found a way around this or is there a way to rimport all of these files and their adjustments as I am now locked out of my Lightroom 5 Beta?

    You have to import the photos to LR4.
    If you haven't saved the metadata from within LR5beta, your LR5beta changes are gone, and even if you have saved the metadata, some new features (like Upright) will not be recognized by LR4.

  • Lightroom 3 Beta tethering issue

    Hi I am testing out Lightroom 3 beta to see if it will fit my everyday needs in photography. I have run into a few bugs and wanted to know is this because of the BETA program I am running. I am using it on a new iMac computer. When I plug my camera into the computer , lightroom can see photos if I use it for downloading . But when I set up the camera for tethering it does NOT see the camera at all. Is this because I am using a BETA version ? When will Lightroom 3 be out for MAC? I am also thinking the reason in the web part of Lightroom I can only see one photo in the galleries, correct?
    I would love to know because I am hoping its not a camera issue
    thank you

    You almost certainly mean Beta 4, and discussion of Beta issues should be on the forum devoted to them:

  • Lightroom 2 beta - Note from Adobe

    Lightroom 2 is now available as a beta with details at the following locations:

    What about Lightroom 1.4?
    Trust me, we haven't forgotten about the photographers who are awaiting a replacement to the Lightroom 1.4 update that we released and subsequently pulled from Adobe.com. Lightroom 1.4.1 and Camera Raw 4.4.1 are currently undergoing additional testing before we release them in the first half of April. Thank you for your patience.

    wow - the import really steams. Have just got one question however before I give this version a serious workout and that is just how independent/dependent is version 2 from version 1.3.1?
    Perhaps I misunderstood, or read it wrong, but I thought that both versions were completely independent of one another e.g. I could give version 2 a workout whilst still using version 1.3.1 for my serious work. However, having now imported 30 test images (copies) and have taken one image into develop I notice that all the presets that I had in version 1.3.1 now appear in the presets panel. For the life of me I can't understand how this is happening because the catalogue for 1.3.1 is on another drive altogether (drive D) whilst I have v2.0 installed on Drive C and have LR install the catalogue by default. At least this way I know both versions and their catalogues are in two entirely different places and more importantly, I know just where they are. My concern is that if it doesn't work out with version 2 and I choose to remove it from my system will it take all the presets along with it.

  • Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 64-bit has stopped working [Lightroom 5 Beta]

    I was looking for a Lightroom 5 Beta forum but am unable to find one.  Today, I downloaded and installed LR5 Beta on my new HP Envy 64-bit Windows 8 machine.  After running an installation, I started the program.  At first, it asked about opening a catalogue during which time I created a new one as I have no intention of using my LR4 catalogue for LR5B.  After creating the catalogue, it stated the following:
    "Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 64-bit has stopped working.  A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.  Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."
    After it closed, I tried opening it again.  Same result.  No matter how many times I tried, the program would not open.  I tried reinstalling the program to no avail using the "repair" feature.  Finally, I just removed the program.

  • What happened to the Lightroom 5 Beta forum? Deleted, not archived or merged?

    What happened to the Lightroom 5 Beta forum? I understand that LR5.2 is now in full release, but it would be nice if the Beta forum was locked and archived for reference. It seems to have been completely deleted, along with some detailed feedback by myself and other Beta testers. (I can't find it if it is archived, anyway.) None of my many, many LR5Beta forum contributions are listed in my "Content" tab in my Adobe profile. All of the links to the LR5Beta discussion in which I contributed to (such as http://forums.adobe.com/message/5271729#5271729 ) lead me to this message:
    "Unauthorized
    It appears you're not allowed to view what you requested. You might contact your administrator if you think this is a mistake."

    Big thumbs up for Pete.Green and Daniel T! Thank you for this incredibly fast response! I worked very hard on explaining my "Advanced Adjustment Brush" proposal back in May 2013, and I am glad that it is again available for reference... in fact, even better, as it appears that the thread is now fully unlocked and availble to reply to. I still firmly believe this proposal is the way forward for Lightroom's local adjustment tools in the future.  I hope that the remainder of the LR5Beta forums will eventually be brought back for reference.

  • Assertion Failed alert when exporting in Lightroom 2 BETA

    Please help! I am currently using the Lightroom 2 Beta on a Mac (OS X 10.4.11) and installed a plug-in to allow for a graphical watermark. Unfortunately, the plug-in wouldn't work properly (showed an internal error even though the plug in manager said it was working fine) and when I removed the plug in (through the plug in manager) I now cannot export at all through the export button in the Library mode. I get an alert saying "assertion failed". Technically I can still export through the file/export option but cannot get to the settings window (filenames, folders etc) to show what folder to put them into or specify the export settings.
    Console report: "2008-04-08 10:21:19.413 Adobe Lightroom 2 Beta[308] Oops! An untagged string (assertion failed!) got thrown far enough that we display it to the user. This shouldn't happen."
    I tried reinstalling but must have missed a file as the same error keeps appearing.
    Can anyone give me a hand?

  • Lightroom 4 beta 32-bit on windows 7

    I have downloaded lightroom4_p1_win32_011012.zip, and run the installation. I copied a few DNG files (taken on a Nikon D90) into a separate directory and opened Lightroom 4 beta. I can see these files in the Library module and also as a slide show and in the Book and Print Modules, but the moment I try to switch to the develop module, Lightroom crashes.
    I'm running Windows 7 32 -bit with all updates installed, 3 Gb of RAM, 250b of free disk space and Intel Core 2 Quad CPU. I have not difficulties running Lightroom 3.6.
    Is this a known problem?

    OK, I now realise that the DNG files had been modified in Lightroom 3.6. If I import the same pictures straight off the camera SD card, there is no problem working on them in the Develop Module
