More cameras, less bugs: Adobe offers release candidate trio
posted Tuesday, August 28, 2012 at 12:04 AM EDT
It's that time again, fans of the bleeding edge: Adobe has just issued release candidate versions of Camera Raw 7.2, DNG Converter 7.2, and Lightroom 4.2. All three share support for much the same raft of brand-new cameras and camera backs. The release candidates of Lightroom and Camera Raw also fix a variety of bugs found in their previous incarnations, and the latter adds support for more than two dozen lens profiles on a variety of mounts.
All three release candidates now support raw files from the following cameras:
-
Leaf Credo 40
-
Leaf Credo 60
-
Nikon 1 J2 (Camera Raw and DNG Converter only)
Bugs fixed in Lightroom 4.2 Release Candidate include:
-
Folder stacks with virtual copies get unstacked when moving to another folder
-
Stacked photos get hidden in both the Grid view and Filmstrip. This occurs when photos get unstacked as a result of enabling auto-stacking.
-
Errors encountered when publishing videos to Facebook through the Facebook Publish Service
-
Users may have occurred problems when trying to enter the Web Module from Library.
-
Unable to edit JPEG photos in Photoshop Elements
-
Unable to upload files to Flickr if there is a carriage return in either the Title or Caption fields (Win only).
-
Background graphics that are applied to a Book globally may not appear as expected in a Saved PDF.
-
Certain book covers had spine text positioned in a Horizontal manner, not Vertical.
-
Double byte characters are not being exported to PDF in Books
-
Photos were exported with original GPS coordinates recorded by the camera, not with the GPS coordinates updated in Lightroom.
-
Keyboard shortcuts in the Develop module sometimes do not work when editing an image in Process Version PV2010.
-
Parents and synonyms of “do not export” keywords also do not export.
-
Audio does not play in video files after creating a slideshow containing music (Windows 7 only)
-
Tether support not working for Nikon D4, D800 , and D800E (Windows only)
Issues fixed in Camera Raw 7.2 Release Candidate, meanwhile, are as follows:
-
Cannot change “Erase” size, feather and flow settings while utilizing the Option key.
-
Cannot write metadata to images previously opened in some 3rd party software.
-
Luminance Noise slider is unresponsive when Clarity is greater than 0.
-
In certain cases, the new Defringe controls can cause vertical streaks to appear.
-
Some images from Canon 5D Mark II exhibited pattern noise in the form of maze/green split artifacts.
-
Adjusting the Blue channel does not affect monochrome images.
-
Certain TIFF files can cause Bridge to become unstable.
-
Defringe settings are not retained when editing the file in Photoshop as a Smart Object and then returning to ACR.
