No Lightroom 4 on Windows XP

Lightroom 4 beta

If you are a Windows XP user (why are you still using it….?), then you may have noticed that Lightroom 4 doesn’t run on it.

Public beta of Lightroom 4 that was recently released, doesn’t support Windows XP.

Here’s what Adobe says:

With each version of Lightroom, our goal is always to provide a consistently excellent customer experience.  Developing and testing across Operating System versions and platforms to ensure that we’re achieving this goal is a significant effort that takes time and resources.  XP is substantially different from Windows Vista and Windows 7, and requires a independent testing matrix, which increases the complexity of our development efforts.   Every cycle we need to make difficult resource tradeoff decisions and operating system support competes heavily with new features and performance enhancements planned for each version.  The decision this cycle was to end XP support for Lightroom going forward.

NOTE: On the Mac platform we needed to make a similar decision to end support for systems that are not 64-bit capable.

I guess this makes a lot of sense, doesn’t it?

Lightroom on Linux?

Wednesday, January 25th, 2012

Adobe Photoshop Lightroom, now coming in its new 4th ‘incarnation’ is a default for many photographers worldwide. And there is a reason behind it, it is a great and easy to use application.

I have been using Lightroom since the beginning (and Photoshop before Lightroom), and I found it to be a great tool for me as a photographer.

As those of you who know me personally know, I am not a fan of Windows (nor Mac), and I am a massive fan of Linux. I have been a massive fan of Linux for many years and I have used it for many years. However, what I kept struggling with was how to run Adobe software on Linux. I have been a fan of Adobe software even before I became an Adobe Certified Expert and Instructor and for many years I would run Linux and Windows (unfortunately) as a dual-boot on my laptops.

Lightroom 4 Beta Masterclass – Lesson 4 – New Soft Proof

Monday, January 23rd, 2012

A new week, a new series of videos about the brand new Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4 Beta!

As I mentioned last week, Adobe released a new version of Lightroom – Lightroom 4 Beta, and it is a public Beta release, which means it is available for everyone to download and try out.

Today, I am going to share with you another video tutorial I have created – the fourth one in the series – on the new Soft Proofing in Lightroom 4 Beta.

Lightroom 4 includes long-awaited soft proofing functionality, which provides an onscreen preview (the soft proof) of how your image will appear in print. We use Soft Proofing (I use it often in Photoshop), because monitors are capable of displaying a wider dynamic range and color gamut than we can print.

I hope you will enjoy watching it and I’m looking forward to connecting with you in the next video in the series.

Enjoy! :-)
