Adobe Lightroom and Camera RAW Updates, Media Player and TV Launch

Craig April 12th, 2008

The teams at Adobe have been busy over the past few days.

First up, we have the Lightroom update to 1.4.1 and Camera RAW update to 4.4.1. They are both available in the downloads section of Adobe’s site. For a complete list of what’s been changed, updated and fixed, visit Tom Hogarty’s blog. Tom is the Senior Product Manager at Adobe for Lightroom.

Also launched last week was Adobe Media Player. Adobe® Media Player software provides control and flexibility to view what you want, when you want — whether online or offline. You can queue up and download your favorite Internet TV content, track and download new episodes automatically, and manage your personal video library for viewing at your convenience. Participating networks include CBS, MTV, Comedy Central and Universal, amongst others.

And finally, we have the launch of Adobe TV. Adobe TV is your online source for expert insight and inspiration. Feed your passion for Adobe products with insider tips, innovative techniques, and behind-the-scenes tours delivered on video, on demand. Get to know Adobe personalities by tuning in to Russell Brown revealing Adobe® Photoshop® secrets, Greg Rewis taming the web, or Jason Levine editing video. See the favorite tricks of design luminaries, take tours of cutting-edge creative shops, and find out what Adobe employees do with technology in their spare time. The best of Adobe’s expertise and community is now in one place. Watch when you want and where you want, save episodes, subscribe to your favorite channel, and post shows on your blog. And it’s not only the talent that’s in action — Adobe TV itself is produced and delivered using Adobe products and technologies. From planning to playback, Adobe TV is brought to you by Adobe.

Lightroom 2.0 beta - looking at what’s new

Craig April 4th, 2008

With the release of the public beta for Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2.0, many photographers are eagerly diving in to check out the new features. So lets take a look and some of whats new. All screenshots below are from the Windows version because here in Taiwan, a Windows machine is half the price of a comparable Mac. As always, click on the image for a larger view.

One of the biggest new changes in this public beta is native 64 bit support. For Mac users, that means an Intel-based machine with Leopard (OS X10.5) and for Windows users, Vista-64. The key advantage of this is that it allows Lightroom to access more than 4GB of RAM. There is some discussion in the comments on John Nack’s site as to whetherit will work with Windows XP-64. I’m running XP64 and it seems to be working smoothly for me.
