It would be nice to have the distortion correction capabilities of PTLens – and although you can add recent versions of the standalone software to the ‘ Edit with‘ list in LR it is actually rather less convenient than using the plugin via Photoshop.
There are still some annoying gaps in LR. I expect there are a few other useful things I’ve forgotten – which means I don’t use them. To erase parts of the mask, use the erase brush To see the mask you have created, mouse-over the adjustment pin Space hold down to use the mouse to zoom inĭelete Over the adjustment pin deletes the whole adjustmentĬtrl-Z deletes the latest item in the history (can repeat) Like me you probably didn’t bother to read the manual! So far I’ve not had it fail when writing single images. But occasionally the memory goes up to well over a GB and LR fails to write some files – and gives an error message. Normally while I’m doing this LR takes up a high % of processor time and anything from 250-750 MB of memory. The second area where I’ve had problems is in writing out batches of files. It’s not so far been a great problem either the program exits nice and cleanly or hangs so I need to kill the process in Task Manager, then reload LR – it takes perhaps less than a minute, and at least so far I’ve never lost more than the actual final alteration to the image I was working on. Before it was often too much trouble to load an image into Photoshop for a little cosmetic surgery, but mow its possible to add that correction rapidly in LR itself – so it’s far more likely to get done.īut this seems to be one area that causes LR2.x to fall down occasionally, perhaps on average after around half an hour of working. LR is a great program, and the addition of a great ‘dodge’ and ‘burn’ tool in version 2 has dramatically improved some of my pictures.

I’d hoped that the full release of LR 2.1 would be more stable than the release candidate, but it doesn’t appear to be so on my system. However at the moment I’m feeling pretty satisfied by what I can get from the D300, and can’t justify the expense of a new camera – and the new lenses it would also need. So that’s one reason less not to go for the full-frame model. LR 2.1 also adds support for a few new cameras, including the Nikon D700. There may still be a few images where I’d like a ‘second opinion’ by using Capture One or the Nikon software, but I think they will be very rare. LR 2.1 also includes the latest Camera Raw 5.1 which is a part of the new Photoshop CS4 release, although for some reason it has a different version number in Lightroom. The differences between the two versions seem extremely subtle! For some time I’ve been using the ‘ Adobe Standard Camera Beta 1‘ camera profiles, which did seem to give a more pleasing result – and now the beta 2 profiles are available so I’m trying those. Perhaps most importantly, the latest release of Lightroom does its prime job of conversion from RAW format pretty well.
