I have used Version 2 but found that the photo’s opened in PS CS3 have totaly diiferent colours than they appear in Lightroom V 2.
I compared the settings between 1.4 and 2 but can’t find any difference.
This does not happen with V 1.4. The photo’s look the same in V1.4 as in PS CS3.
Has one n explaination for this?

Adam: if the presets are placed in the correct folder, in application support/adobe/lightroom/dev, then I found that they can be used from both versions of LR

Here’s are 2 questions that’ve been bugging me and likely others have asked them.
What is the difference between “Clarity” and sharpening?

Is The Vibrance Slider similar to manipulating the curves inside LAB colourspace?

I’ve tried LR2 a little but one of the big new features, its integration with Photoshop isn’t working for me. I simply get a message that Photoshop CS3 isn’t installed, but it is. I can’t use any if the edit in Photoshop options including Panorma, which would be a really nice feature and save me going into the bridge. Any idea how to fix this? Anyone else having this problem?

How do you move presets from one version of Lightroom to another?
Thanks

Concerning ship date.

Per the Lightroom Blog http://blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjournal/
Q: When does the beta expire?
A: August 31, 2008

I would expect the product to ship at or around that date.

Simple question…anyone, anyone…Can I not import new photos, edit all day in the Beta LR, export to another location and reimport to LR1….just can’t go back and adjust changes? In other words…act like LR2 is it, just save work before Beta expires and I download the final version of LR2 .

Less flexibility sure, but usuable yes, versus just playing with it on test shots.

Thanks

LIGHTROOM MUST: Check out the Julieanne Kost - The Complete Picture - Episode 1, for Lightroom cropping on Adobe TV. It is 28 minutes of constant note taking on how Lightroom does it and why you should. If anything there is too much here without the capability to permanently store. Strongly suggest Adobe put it on iTunes or suffer the download resources. tv.adobe.com/#

With all the PR that you, Scott and the other NAPP staff and members provide to Adobe, maybe Scott or Larry could work out a upgrade deal exclusively for NAPP members

Comments on Lr beat -

I’m finding that auto masks appears to work real well if the edges are clearly defined however I wish there was some method of defining a boundary in those areas that are much less defined , something like a selection tool ? Am I missing something ?

I haven’t found any presets that have not worked thus far and other templates in web and print module seem unaffected.

I really like the concept of the picture package. Do you know if there is a way to allowing placement of different images within a picture package without creating multiple page print out ? Example - (1) 5×7 and (1) wallet of two different images on the same page to minimize use of paper.

Regards and thanks,
Peter

I also have imported photos that came into LR2 intact with changes, metadata etc.. I’ve separated and backed up everything- but yeah I’ve brought several copies from my old library- copied them to a new location and added them to my new LR2 library no sweat!
