Lightroom 1.4 update
On March 13, 2008 Adobe has released Lightroom 1.4 and Camera Raw 4.4
The Adobe® Photoshop® Lightroom® 1.4 update includes these enhancements:
- Additional camera support for the Canon EOS 450D (Digital Rebel XSi/EOS Kiss X2), Nikon D60, Sony A350, and more
- Updated printer driver compatibility for Mac OS X v10.5 (Leopard)
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.
