Lightroom 1.3.1 Update
It seems like it was just a couple weeks ago that I was writing about the Lightroom 1.3 update and now there’s another one. Really though, there’s nothing major here. Just a few bug fixes and tweaks that some folks have experienced since updating to 1.3. Personally, I haven’t experienced any issues but I’m not running Leopard yet either. Anyway, below are the Mac/PC links if you need to download:

v1.3 affected me a lot. All of my compressed D1x NEFs were “magentized” and this happened also to some D100 users. I’m glad Adobe solved this issue quickly.

I loaded LR 1.3.1 and went back to 1.3. The new version was telling me that my files had been altered by both LR and an external program. When I tried to resolve using the dialog provided by LR, all the files had their Develop history re-set. Luckily, I was doing the resolve on a folder basis and not the entire catalog. I have used ACDSee on some of my files to put the original file name in the caption area but that is the only external mod I have done. I have lost weeks of development work! The reset happened using either option - save disk settings or overwrite (can’t remember the exact wording)

I’m having some strange things now with 1.3.1 too . . . my develop sliders now show “M” where there was before a numerical value, and some text is invisible now . . . weird.

I take it back. LR 1.3.1 was apparently not the cause of my troubles. Not sure what the cause of all my images appearing to have been changed in 2 different programs but it also showed up in LR 1.3. The greater problem I think is that so many of us have so little trust in Adobe getting this software right, that we automatically assume it is LR that is the cause of a problem. I have always been impressed with the power of Adobe software, but their implementation of Windows conventions leaves much to be desired.

Hey, I have a problem: when I try to “Edit in Adobe Photoshop CS3″, and select “Edit a Copy”… It doesn’t open in Photoshop CS3 a .PSD file: it opens a .JPG file.
Is that ok? Comments?

On a Mac 1.3.1 has no problem. Since I’m starting with my photography, I did some freebie that got more than 3k pictures in 2 months. I’ve changed about 3 times my work flow. Got from a collections main thing to a folder main thing, so I did a lot of copying inside LR. The only thing that I didn’t pass through the ringer is the hookup with PS. Since I’m not that good in PS. But this will come.
And in all that time NOT PROBLEMs what so ever.
