Title: Is There A Lightroom Update To Match ACR 5.2?
Post by: Slobodan Blagojevic on November 26, 2008, 01:35:47 pm: Last night I updated ACR to 5.2. When I tried Lightroom's "Check for Updates", it said there aren't any. Given that they use the same engine, I would assume the LR update is imminent. Does anyone know more about how soon it will be released?

OK, that´s good news. I have a G1 and use LR, and the new DNG Converter is already a great step forward from 16-bit tiff´s from Silkypix
Even those beefed-up "linear dng´s" are far better.

What I don´t get from the Lightroom Journal entry is whether the updated LR will also use a conversion to dng "on the fly", or if it will actually be able to read the native raw´s directly.

(BTW, I found that if the DNG Converter is allowed to put the conversions in the same folder as the raw´s, and keeps the same file name, the raw´s are imported into LR catalogue as "sidecar files", so it is easy to keep track of them for future use. No need to embed them, then).
