Lightroom 2.1 RC

Lightroom 2.1 was just released as a release candidate on the Adobe Labs website. Read about it on Tom Hogarty's blog. This release promises to fix a nasty bug I discovered a while ago and reported to Adobe where the resolution of images gets lowered dramatically when you print (also when printing to jpeg). We'll see if it actually does this. It also supposedly fixes the auto-white balance crash and other perfomance and crash bugs. Time to check it out!

  1. Looking at the LR 2.1 ReadMe I don't find the issue of ringing artefacts resulting from resize/croping which you have discussed in this blog listed either among "known issues" or resolved issues. Is it resolved in 2.1 or are we still waiting?

  2. It is supposed to be fixed in the now imminent next release of Lightroom.

    That good? I know we have Eric's promise, but how do you know it will be fixed in the next (2.2 in december?) release? Any internal sources? ;)

  4. Great news. Fingers crossed. Puzzling that they would not have noted it as a "known issue." Thanks.

  5. Eric's promise indeed. He made it there and in another communication earlier. My experience is that if he promises something it will happen.

  6. He said it here too:

    But indeed, I do not know whether it will be 2.2 specifically. I certainly got that impression.
