Lightroom 2.2 now available
The Lightroom 2.2 update is now available for download (Mac|Win) from Adobe.com. The release includes new camera support for the following models:
- Canon EOS 5D Mark II
- Canon PowerShot G10
- Panasonic DMC-G1
- Panasonic DMC-FX150
- Panasonic DMC-FZ28
- Panasonic DMC-LX3
- Leica D-LUX 4
The Calibration panel in Lightroom's Develop module now features an extensible set of camera profiles, designed to provide different interpretations of raw capture. In addition the update fixes a few bugs that were introduced with the Lightroom 2.0 release; the ReadMe file (PDF) has the details on those.
[Update: Tom Hogarty says, "Beta profiles can be found and deleted from the following directories:
- Mac: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/CameraRaw/CameraProfiles/
- XP: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles
- Vista: C:\ProgramData\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles]

Do you know how to get rid of the beta camera profiles?
I can't find an uninstaller for them in Add/Remove Programs.
The new color profile feature is fantastic! This may remove an entire app from my workflow.
Seems to make my Lightroom "a bit" better, so I'm happy, but I hope they still work on the performance issues. It seems that Lightroom works better on my 30" display if I DON'T have the window maximized to fit the whole screen..? I might be wrong, don"t know..? Maybe my older video card has something to do with it? Either way, the update seems to be a step in the right direction, so that's a good thing. Thanks John.
Regarding Tom Hogartys update: Don´t remove Adobe/CameraRaw/CameraProfiles/ when final profiles for ACR 5.2 are installed. Otherwise PS/Bridge can´t use the new profile styles.
@James:
Dude, its right at the end of the post from J Nack. Just take a look, get the location and remove the beta profiles.
[I posted the update in response to James's question. --J.]
Not sure why, but for me, on Vista (64) the profiles were actually found here:
C:\Users\All Users\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles
Hope that helps anyone as stumped as I was.
And for me they were in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Camera Raw...
I took the adjustment brush for a spin after updating (with auto mask on) and it performs much smoother than before. I actually stopped using it in 2.1, now it seems to keep up with my pen strokes. Good work Lightroom team!
The path for Vista is wrong. It should be:
C:\ProgramData\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles
as documented in the DNG profiles FAQ at
http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/DNG_Profiles_FAQ#WhereInstall
[Sorry about that; now fixed. Thanks to everyone for the heads-up. --J.]
I just wonder how it behaves with Photoshop CS3...
I prefer to export to Photoshop using SmartObject, but LR 2.2 is tailored to work with the new ACR, shipped only with CS4...
[The last update to ACR for CS3 has the ability to display, but not edit, adjustments applied in LR2/CS4. Therefore I'd expect you to be able to see everything as you applied it, and to tweak the settings that are common to CS3. --J.]
