Check the Adobe Download site: http://www.adobe.com/d​ownloads/ (external link)

Alternatively, if you have the "Check for Updates" function turned on, you will eventually be prompted to update but it will probably take a while for the updates to be pushed to all the servers.

meh, I'm not impressed at all. looks like the only difference is added comptibility with the new 450D and a few other cameras, and better support for printing in Leopard. I can't tell any difference in ACR.

not worthy of a 1.x release IMO.

Well I downloaded it.
Somehow, my pictures didn't get 1000% better.

From the read me:

UPDATE FOR LIGHTROOM 1.4:
Lightroom 1.4 includes corrections for the following issues:

• Compatibility with legacy printer drivers on OS X 10.5 (Leopard) has been updated.

• Previous camera profiles identified in the Calibrate panel of the Develop module may
have displayed poor results at extreme ends of the temperature and tint ranges. A new
camera profile identified as Camera Raw 4.4 is now available and will be applied by
default to all images without existing Camera Raw or Lightroom settings. The creation of
new default profiles will also include the updated Camera Raw 4.4 profile. Images edited
in Camera Raw or Lightroom with earlier profiles will retain the earlier profile value and
visual appearance.

• In previous grayscale conversions the Color Noise setting was disabled and this could
result in an image with excessive noise when grayscale channel mixing is applied. Both
the tool and effect have been enabled in Lightroom 1.4 providing the ability to reduce
noise in grayscale conversions. In order to return to the prior visual appearance, Color
Noise reduction can be set to zero.

Lightroom 1.4 includes the following known issues:

• In the print module, deselecting the Identity Plate option when the option to render on
every image is already applied will result in no change and the Identity Plate will be
applied to every image. To remove the Identity plates, deselect the option to render the
Identity Plates on every image then deselect the Identity Plate option.

So it isn't entirely pointless.

There's just one line that needs changing to bring it in line. Tim will no doubt release an update shortly, but drop him a line if you're concerned.

The 1.x release name is to keep the naming convention in line with the ACR releases, which have always had a 1.X name (except for the minor bug fix release which was a true interim fix).

As for not many changes, have you considered that the engineers may be busy working on something more exciting...? Camera releases still have to fit to the ACR schedule, not LR's own preferred schedule.

Hey, you were right. I posted on his blog a few minutes before you replied. He's already emailed me to say that a new version is available:

Giovanni, it's not a complete ACR rework, so no major changes to reds/oranges at this stage. This release makes adjustments to the extreme ends of the scales. *This does not mean they are ignoring everyone's comments about reds/oranges, just that changes on that are not in this release.*

Just the fact you have some noise reduction in grayscale is a big deal


people will always try to stop you doing the right thing if it is unconventional
Full frame and some primes.
