Title: LR 4.3
Post by: stamper on December 13, 2012, 06:39:27 am
Anyone downloaded it and tried it. The final version has been released today.

I downloaded and installed it. So far so good - I didn't explore all of the program - except for choosing the external editor. The program quite rightly chooses Photoshop CS5 as the editor but refuses to open in CS5 stating that an external editor isn't selected. I checked preferences and it is set as default. When I choose the second option in preferences I can "force" it to open in CS5. This however means that the second option can't open an other program. Posted in the Adobe site,so far not a definitive answer.

Downloaded both Lightroom and ACR. No problem!

The link from LR to PS is now working. Some changes to windows permissions might have done the trick?

I'm running LR on a Mac. I'm sorry, I cannot really help you on this.

You can set up any number of editors, or, for that matter, a program such as Qimage, as a second option and then save it.  I right-click on an image, select Edit In, and get a list of all the programs I might choose to have the image open in.  The return to LR is automatic, and the image gets automatically imported back into LR.
