Lightroom 3.4 Now Available for Download as a Free Update

[Josh-H]

Just 'open' Lightroom and it prompts for the update.

Thx. Adobe.

How is the Soft Proofing coming along?

Edit- Oh.. there is a Camera Raw Update to keep the two in lock step as well.

Haven’t you heard yet that soft proofing doesn’t work? ;-)

There’s also a new version of ACR: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5027

Fourth update and they still haven't fixed the unresponsiveness after using the new lens/perspective corrections.

[Farmer]

What unresponsiveness?  I'm not seeing any issues - Win 7 x64.  What platform are you using, what files, what exactly is the issue and have you reported it back to Adobe with logs and system info etc?

No issues here: - running OSX 10.6.7 on both a macbook pro and mac pro.

Been over this already in several forums.  Well known issue that doesn't seem to affect everyone.

OS 10.6.7, 2 year old iMac with 8gb Ram, 2.66ghz/2 core. Did an erase and reinstall of the HD at the time of updating to LR3. I work with pretty large RAW and Tiff files (Canon 5dII).

I have reported to Adobe via their bugs reporting process.  No help.

I think the upgrade is flawed. I can no longer drag and drop files to other folders and LR hangs but never did before.

[BFoto]

If LR was 4WD, opening lens corrections is like driving it from cairns to darwin in the summer! Bogged.

Well documented and winged about for the last couple of months.

Best method to update???

1) Download from Adobe and install as appropriate or using the "Update download" within LR3.3 (NB using W7 Pro 64bit and normally install programs as 'Run as Administrator' when starting the exe)
2) Any precautions by either method to ensure the catalog and any imported presets are not affected?

Please forgive the noobie questions

No problem, on iMacs, Mac Pros and MacBooks all running Mac OS X 10.6.7.

[RogerW]

Works fine for me but, disappointingly, still does no lens corrections or profiles for Olympus DSLRs!

I use a 1.5 year old MBP and 8GB ram and I have no issues with lens correction. I use lens correction as default when I import and I have no issue with unresponsiveness. But lots of local edits will slow my system down when reediting such a picture.

I can drag and drop folders no problem on my MBP. I used the RC version for some time and had no issues with dragging and dropping files either onto a different HD or into collections.

I am having a problem with opening psd's as a copy with LR edits. It keeps saying I need to upgrade my CR to 6.4.
Strange from a psd why would I need that ?

I assume you mean ACR. So you must have CS5 in which case why don't you upgrade ACR to the latest version? I guess the reason is that when CS5 is involved all the processing af edits (at least on RAWs) are done by PS CS5 using ACR. I guess LR and PS CS5 can pass the name of the file and the metadata edits and therefore avoid writing a new file and read it again into PS CS5. At least I assume this is the reason.

[neil snape]

Yeah ACR, yet ACR is the same motor that would have been installed with the 3.4 LR update I would have thought.

So after updating, ( I never open raws from bridge or Photoshop) the warning went away. So it must be that the 3.4 LR update requires the plug in to be updated. Otherwise considering it is a psd already converted in LR3.3 it shouldn't require CR at all.

When you ask for the Edit in Photoshop function, LR hands the rendering off to ACR. IOW, LR and ACR can be out of sync here and when this is the case, you get this error. IF you Export in LR, no issue of course.

I don't know if you read my response on why the PSD could need ACR?
