Lightroom 4 on the App Store

Lightroom 4 now joins other Adobe products that are available on App Store – Photoshop Elements, Premiere Elements, and Revel (these applications are already available on App Store.

Lightroom 4 is priced at $149, the same as the boxed product on adobe.com. Here are a few important key points about Lightroom 4 on App Store from Tim Hogarty – Lightroom Product Manager:

This is a single platform license for Mac only.
Updates will take place through the Mac App Store, not via Adobe.com for this version of Lightroom.
There is no upgrade pricing available on the Mac App Store for Lightroom customers who own Lightroom 1, 2 or 3.
There is no guarantee that upgrade pricing will be available to Mac App Store Lightroom 4 customers when Lightroom 5 and future versions of Lightroom are released.

Enjoy!

Leica M9 and Lightroom 4

How about buying a Leica camera and getting a Free Lightroom 4? Sounds interesting, doesn’t it?

Leica announced that it will bundle Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4 with most of its cameras – we’re talking the latest version of Lightroom that has just came out, £100 worth software.

Lightroom 4 will be supplied with the following cameras:

Leica S2/S2-P,
Leica M9/M9-P,
Leica X1 and
Leica D-Lux 5.

Leica cameras are fully integrated with Lightroom software, and Leica has worked together with Adobe for along time. Just to give you an example, Leica colour and lens profiles are available in the lens correction adjustments in Lightroom.

The other thing is, Leica cameras cost thousands of pounds, keep that in mind… Besides that, enjoy!

Lightroom 4 issues, explained

Wednesday, March 14th, 2012

Tom Hogarty from Adobe posted information about some issues with Lightroom 4 that Adobe are working on. These are the issues that were discovered after the release of Lightroom 4.

These are some of the issues in Lightroom 4 that Adobe are working on:

When Lightroom 3 came out, the Tone Curve panel added a “point curve” adjustment option. If you used the point curve adjustment in Lightroom 3 and you move your catalogue to Lightroom 4, you are going to loose the adjustment.

There may be some issues when launching third-party applications from within Lightroom, i.e. some people complained that they couldn’t launch Nik software using “Edit in…” The issue seems to appear on both platforms, and it’s connected with the third-party plug-ins and applications.

Adobe has revealed some details about Creative Cloud. This will be launched later this year, probably at the same time as Creative Suite 6 and maybe Lightroom 4 as well. No dates have been confirmed yet.

The monthly fee is going to be £38 and it is going to include a number of publishing tools working along Creative Suite 6 and Touch Apps.

Here’s what you get for £38 a month according to web sources:

- access to Creative Suite 6 Master Collection

- access to Lightroom 4

- you get access to two licenses (both for Windows and Mac, so you can run one on Windows and one on Mac)

- access to the upgrades, when Adobe releases upgrades to the applications, you get them

- access to all Touch Apps for Android and iPad

- 20GB of personal space

Along with subscription, Adobe will still keep selling boxed products as usual.

No Lightroom 4 on Windows XP

Wednesday, February 1st, 2012

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.

Lightroom 4 beta

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!
