Adobe has released updates to Lightroom (1.4.1) and Camera Raw (4.4.1). I haven’t installed these updates personally (yet), but when I do, I’ll report on anything interesting that I find. From what I am reading around the net today, these updates are mainly just bug fixes. Program Manager Tom Hogarty posted the following about the new updates:

“The Lightroom 1.4.1 and Camera Raw 4.4.1 updates have been posted to the following locations: Lightroom (Mac, Win), Camera Raw (Mac, Win). The updates provide all of the changes included in the original Lightroom 1.4 and Camera Raw 4.4 releases but also include corrections for issues described below and in previous blog posts. The Camera Raw plug-in will also be available later this evening via the Adobe Update Manager and the Lightroom update can be located by choosing ‘Check for Updates…’ under the Help menu. The Lightroom and Camera Raw team apologize for any inconveniences caused by the issues presented in the initial updates”

For more information on these updates check out Tom’s Full Post.

I realize that I’ve already reported on the release of the Lightroom 2.0 Public Beta, but I thought I would let you know that I’ve done a more expanded write-up on this program for my friends over at Photoshop Support. This article breaks down the new features of LR 2.0 and also gives you a few cool places to go for Beta training. You can check out the full article by visiting the Photoshop Support Website.
