I’ve just installed Lightroom 2.1 (Mac Power PC G5 OS10.5), but it is not showing up as that. The about LR still displays version 2. I tried it a second time but the same thing. The destination is the appropriate hard drive site.
What’s up with that?

Thanks

Can someone out there tell me what to do with the update once I have downloaded. How do I incorporate it in Lightroom 2?

This update has fixed all of my LR2 problems. I can actually import a shoot in a reasonable amount of time now, and flipping through the modules is quick and painless. The local adjustments are also now useable! Good job Adobe!

Re: LR 2.1 release…

Didn’t notice but a slight improvement in the local adjustments (brush), but as they indicated, that still in is in the works for LR 2.2. Just would like for them to get the most significant improvement over LR 1 to work well (i.e. the adjustment brush).

Still waiting….

Thanks for letting us all know. I’ve been looking forward to this update since moving to 2.0. Looks like they’ve addressed pretty much all the issues I’ve been having. Way to go Adobe!

Hope it fixes performance issues with the G5’s…….

The updates keep coming fast and furious, which I guess is golden job security for the professionals at NAPP.

By the way, I’ve noticed that Matt’s been getting a little uppity on your PSTV podcasts. Seems to me like it’s time for a little smack down. A little putting in place. A little woodshed session. A little boot to the butt. A little poke in the eye. If he can’t take it, well, Corey wouldn’t be a replacement, he’d be an upgrade.

Thanks Scott!
2.1 solved my problem of going to Photoshop from Lightroom.
I previously had to create a custom external editor preset to get it to work. If I canceled editing a file in Photoshop, I would still have a file in Lightroom, since it was automatically created before entering Photoshop. Now, if I cancel editing in Photoshop, no file is created.

Scott:

Can you tell me prior to my buying Lightroom what are the minimum gigabites needed to have on one’s computer to download this software.

My friend was unable to download Lightroom since his Mac G4 power tower had only 640 mhz of ram, and a hard drive of 20 gigbites. What is the minimum of space needed to install lightroom?

Thank you.

Hi Scott

This is off topic but I have a question for you.

I am looking to purchase your Lastolite kit which uses hotshoe flashes. I was hoping to watch the video to see how it all works. There is no play link on your Lastolite kit page available. I also went to B&H and it is no longer there either.

Is the video anywhere for me to view?

Thanks and kind regards,
Joe
