LR 1.1 upgrade

Ok, I think I'm with you David! I can see your logic.

I obviously can't discuss anything that I've seen or heard, but I understand where you're coming from, and I'll work that into my keyword testing. No promises, but you're making sense to me.

Lightroom asked if I wanted to downloan 1.1 when I opened it this evening. Close everything else and get a good book to read during the download and install.

My download and installation of 1.1 went very quicky. From what I can see so far I'm digging in, particularly the Clarity slider that is grouped with Vibrance and Saturation.

The Sharpening module looks good but for the life of me, I was moving those sliders every way I could and I couldn't see even the slightest change in my image.

If anyone else has Sharpening working please let me know. Other than that I can see some cosmetic changes but I need to take the time to explore.

Are you in a 1:1 ratio view? Apparently, you won't see any difference unless zoomed in.

Ahh, "I see, said the blind man".

Now that's pretty cool sharpening. Wow, that's one more thing I don't have to go to Photoshop for. I am completely digging Lightroom.

Excellent!

Yes it is excellent and after using it for a few minutes now I can see that you have to be very careful about how you use it. It's very easy to look at the subject and watch it get sharper without seeing that the background might be getting noisy when it tries to sharpen something like very smooth bokeh. Great feature but be careful with it.

hmm i havent really used LR, just didnt like it, but 1.1 has alot of cool stuff

hooray http://blogs.adobe.com …_11_update_avai​lable.html

Fantastic... can't wait to get home and see!

Victoria,

any idea if Catalgos can now be opened off network drives?

Any change to stacking... ie can it be done across folders? (guessign not since not mentioned)

Clearly no change to keywording lol!

Catalogs on network drives are still a no go - too much chance of the database becoming corrupted.

Stacking across folders - not in 1.1, hopefully in future.

Keywording - yet to be addressed further!

Any idea if this will be in a free upgrade, or if it will have to wait till v2.0?

No idea, sorry

So I open lightroom tonight and get the "new update available" pop-up. "Awesome!" I exclaim, and click on the Download button, expecting an built-in updater like so many other programs have. Instead, I go here: http://www.adobe.com/p​roducts/photoshoplight​room/

Well, that's all well and good, but seeing as how I've already fraking BOUGHT Lightroom, how about taking me to a page where i can just download the upgrade patch, hmm?

Go to My Account, look under Downloads. Yes, I can see Lightroom, but as far as I can tell that's the file I downloaded back in March when I bought the thing.

Adobe, for a company that supposedly wants people to use its products, sure does make it difficult!

OK, so whats the deal on this "upgrade". I also just got the message (but chose the "remind me later" option until I'm sure of what happens)

Does this simply take me to a download page for a do-it-yourself job? (i.e. "save target as" - then run and install)

Does it completely overwrite everything relating to version 1.0?

...and what files should I explicitly backup before installing 1.1?

Thanks
