Has anybody already heard of a re-release of the update? It’s been a week now.

thanks

I can’t wait for them to re-release this update. The Sony A700 users that I know who downloaded 1.4 say that it finally addressed the high ISO blotchiness that Lightroom was adding (and other RAW converters aren’t.)

Karen–I converted only three folders of images using version 1.4 and after having problems w/ the DNG’s I went back to LR version 1.3.1….I don’t seem to have any issues w/ them now and all my changes were saved after I reverted back. Hopefully you’ll find the same true for you, so don’t panic yet!

We let a lot of groups on Flickr know about this problem when we read it here and on Adobe. The resulting feedback shows that there are lots of Lightroom users who did update to 1.4 and had some pretty serious problems as a result. One wrote that 1.4 “…rewrote all my EXIF datetime data…” so this isn’t just minor but can have a big impact. Adobe needs to realise that this mess has resulted in a large bunch of unhappy Lightroom bunnies.

Thanks y’all. I got it all sorted out and have LR1.31 up. I guess you had to have uploaded RAW 4.1 directly and not through LR as I still have the RAW 4.3.1 in CS3. Thanks again from a guy that got his MS in Aerospace Engineering with a slide rule. I still have mine and I’ll send a JPEG of a picture of it if you have never seen one. :

Before/After View
Matt–this is maybe my favorite all-time Photoshop tip ever! I was watching Photoshop User TV, wondering how you guys show the before and after views so quickly. I’ve been turning off all the individual layers, then turning them on again. But your tip (Alt-click on background layer eyeball, or Option-click on background layer eyeball) rocks! Thanks!

Converted back to Lr 1.3.1 under windows - no issues encountered.

Thanks for the update on the update.

I spent the WHOLE weekend converting THOUSANDS of files to dng using lightroom 1.4. I am really afraid to try to revert now. Do you think Adobe will provide a fix for those of us dumb enough to have updated? I think I will sit tight and wait.

Hi Matt,

Thanks for the ‘heads up’ … uninstall went through with no hiccups thankfully and am now back with 1.3.1 :o)

Cheers,
Glyn

If I am only running Lightroom (Mac), do I need to bother with the Camera Raw updates? Or is this built into LR?
