Lightroom 8.1 (https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/help/whats-new.html) is out.
Some people may like to reorder the panels in Develop's right hand side. But for me the best new detail is that photos can now snap to a grid in Book which brings together the other recent changes allowing much more flexibility over layout.
-
can you only do/change Develop or can I mod the Library (leftside)?
-
Just Develop.
-
Any problems with the update?
-
I haven't read or noticed anything.

Did not fix bug when going from LR to PS most commands will not be available unless PS was already running or you checked "Do not use Home screen" in preferences.
In other word if you go to PS from LR and PS is not already running and you have not checked the preferences above, you can do nothing. PS is dead to you. Windows bug.
-
If you disable the Home screen (preferences - general) it will work properly if you send a file from LR to PS if it is not opened. You have restart PS to get rid of it.

That's a Photoshop bug so no.

I don't see a "disable Home screen" option in preferences-general. I am running Windows 8.1. Is that a Windows 10 specific selection?
-
it's got a slightly different wording but it's on the General screen. Something like 3rd down on the left.
-
There is a new bug, at least for me. Start LR, it crashes on opening with a send crash report. Start LR immediately after that, it opens normally. Has happened quite a few times.

Sorry I'm a Mac user.
-
First off, the bug doesn't affect Mac users. ;D
Second:
-
Yeah I know. I just read about it somewhere else and posted it. Thought it might help someone.
-
There is another bug. If you apply the Auto preset using the Apply During Import command the results are all over the place compared to using it in the Develop module. You can use that preset when in the Develop module or the Auto command in the Basic window and both yield the same results. Adobe has been notified.
-
It's not a bug - it's the result of trying to balance ease of use with speed. When Auto is applied to multiple images (as in Import, Grid, AutoSync), LR doesn't calculate each image's Auto settings - it uses the most-selected and applies that to the rest. So let's say you applied Auto to a batcch of images. When you then take any individual image into Develop you see that the Auto button is enabled, indicating that that image's settings are not Auto.
-
If I created a second RAW file from an original, renamed it, imported it using Auto and then imported the original not using Auto and applied it later shouldn't both be the same?
-
Yes, they should be if you are importing a single file.
-
They aren't. First image is from applying Auto at import.
-
If you use the Preset in the Develop module it matches the results using Auto in the Basic window.
-
What exactly do you mean by the "preset" in the Develop window? I assume you mean the Auto button?
And I would wonder what you mean by "the Auto preset". One you have created? Review the preset and check that you are doing the identical thing in Develop. One one detail would also be any default that you have set for the camera, and this could affect any setting not covered by the preset.

Not a created preset. The Auto Setting in the Classic General group. Two files - original and a copy both imported separately. I applied Auto Settings from that group when I imported one file. For the other file I applied Auto in the Basic window. I can select Auto in the Basic window or from the Presets and both yield the same results. The file that had Auto applied during import is way off.
-
One thing that might lead to a difference is whatever preview is being used by an Auto preset applied by Import. This would differ from the raw data loaded in Develop.
-
I'm using 1:1. Yes I also read that changing previews will change results. This was why I posted this. Just in case someone has tried it or is new to LR hears about the improved Sensei but gets lousy results. Not sure if Adobe will do something about it but it can't help if some is trying it out or not using it because they have not realized what is going on.
If anyone wants to apply Auto to more than one file there is a plug-in that will do it.

Memory leaks. I can do one or maybe two HDR merges before needing to quit. On import just now, it killed Opera. Or maybe it is just a memory pig.
But at least they've fixed the keyword issues.
