Lightroom 4.2 is now available as a final release on Adobe.com and through the update mechanism in Lightroom 4. The goal of this release is to provide additional camera raw support, lens profile support and address bugs that were introduced in previous releases of Lightroom.
Bugs Corrected in Lightroom 4.2:
The following bugs that were part the Lightroom 4 releases have been corrected. The team appreciates the very detailed feedback the community has provided on Lightroom 4 and we’re excited to correct a number of issues experienced by our customers. These issues have been FIXED:
- Stacked photos were hidden in both the Grid view and Filmstrip. This occurred when photos get unstacked as a result of enabling auto-stacking.
- Folder stacks with virtual copies were unstacked when moving to another folder.
- When scrolling through the filmstrip (at somewhat fast rate), occasionally a “gray” image was displayed for an instant and then replaced by the correct image preview.
- The Navigator Panel in Map did not pan correctly.
- Parents and synonyms of “do not export” keywords also did not export.
- Occasionally were unable to publish videos to Facebook
- Audio did not play in video files after creating a slideshow that contains music (Win 7 only)
- Image select arrow on keyword list didn’t display when keyword list contained a large number of keywords
- Unable to edit Lightroom photos as jpegs in Photoshop Elements
- Carriage Return in either the Title or Caption field invalidated a Flickr upload.
- Tether capture bar disappeared after deleting photo (Win only).
- Back Cover of Book layout had Horizontal text on spine rather than Vertical
- Sharpening was not applied to books that were exported as JPEG files
- Double-byte characters were not exported to Books saved as PDF files
- Unable to type accented character in book module in LR4
- Luminance Noise slider was unresponsive when Clarity is greater than 0.
- Develop keyboard shortcuts (+ and – keys) no longer worked in older process versions such as PV2010

Thank You
A big thanks to everyone who submitted bug reports, posted entries in the U2U forums and blogged their issues so that we could improve the Lightroom 4 experience in this update. Thank you.
Comments
With my Sony a77v +Sigma 10-20mm 4-5.6 lens, LR continually says that it is a Sigma 12-24mm F4-5.6 in Profile Corrections. With this ever be addressed?
Not sure it is a Lightroom problem, Sigma uses same lens ID on different lenses.
Hmmm, then why did it work in LR3?
Where do I submit bugs and feature requests. These are 2 that bothers me a lot:
1: I want to be able to drag photos into Lightroom if I am on the Develop module. It only works if I am on library. I just wish it would automatically switch to library or just show the import dialog if I Drag photos.
2: if the brush adjustment window is left open, 1-5 rating adjust the sliders instead of start ratings. Sometimes in rating photos and while I’m rating I see a quick blemish to fix, then I fix it and move to the next photo to keep rating.. But if I leave the adjustment brush window active, the numbers 1,2,3,4,5 no longer rate my photos, they do something else. I always have to go back and close the adjustment window, then continue rating.

Hooray! 5D Mk III tethered capture, excellent news. Now, do I blatt over the (currently working fine) beta version and take a risk with this…
And what about the lenses for the Fuji XPro-1 ?
I don’t suppose by any chance the smearing in X-Pro1 files has been improved?
Doesn’t look like it
Very disappointing.
Did it support new MacBookPro’s Retina display?
does this mean I can’t install LR 4 on my new Macbook Pro 13 inch with retina display?
Any plans for lens profiles for fuji film X-Pro1 lenses ?
i would love that ! the wide angel really would be happy with that.
… And as already stated , just have another look at the conversion from the weird fuji sensor.
( Hummm… still wonder what the problem is between adobe and fujifilm,
is it political or just misunderstanding, or economical)
I don’t know what the problem is, but it’s very frustrating.
I’m losing confidence in LR, fast.
I am bummed –still no tethered support in Win for D800 and D4? Very disappointing.
Hi T. Lightroom 4.2 on Windows has tether support for both the Nikon D800 and Nikon D4.
Echoing Thomas above, has X-Pro 1 file conversion been improved?
Obviously lots of hard work gone into this. But one, perhaps two, rather worrying omissions:
Retina display support
Performance issues that many including me on a top spec machine have been enduring.
Any information or expectation management on these would be helpful to say the least.
Edit: Initial impression—performance/speed seems much improved.
Great to see the Luminance Noise slider issue fixed.
I’m getting an “invalid checksum” error on the Mac .DMG version. The download size on the web page says 426MB, but the .dmg download size is showing up as 407MB. Bad image maybe?
No improvement to fujifilm x-pro1 support? Still no lenses and color profiles added?
But still no Retina support?
Thank you Adobe for the 5D MKIII tethered capture!
Any chance the tethering will be available for Sony A77 or A99 at some point?
where is the ACR 7.2 manual download?
many companys have offline computers!!!?
I really wished this update would address the issue of the “2012″ process. It’s very slow compared to the older “2010″ process. Oh, well.
What about the speed?? Do something about this.
Where is retina support for the new mac book?!
No performance bugfixing done? Good bye Adobe!
good point!
There are a lot of performance improvement work that went into this 4.2 release. We’re very excited about the new work that might make a big difference to many customers. It is not specifically called out in the release notes.
Hello Simon,
I gave LR4.2 a try. Some functions are improved in terms of performance. Now the photos in the library I can preview really fast. As well the previews in the develop mode are faster. But there are still some performance glitches, like switching to develop module means for me waiting of 8 seconds, any editing done in develop module means huge performance loss when working with the single image… As well there are NEW BUGS introduced, like when importing the CR2 files, the files were successfully imported, but the full preview creation stopped on the 1st image and after 2 hours of waiting to move from image 1 to image 2 I just cancelled the import full preview generation task and created the full preview manually.
I am sorry Simon, but I am not taking money from Adobe to test their products. From the customer point of view I see that Adobe has 0 people allocated for testing and there is no QA (see wiki if not known in Adobe) on Adobe side. Sorry, I am really upset about the fact that my whole image library is in LR and I am not able to use it just because Adobe released a crappy LR4 version. In our company we call such version beta version, in Adobe it is version 4.2.
Trying to find a replacement for LR4. I wasted enough time with Adobe.
That is THE question!!
Oh boy. I have the feeling that every release has more performance issues then the one before. I have an iMac i5 with 16Gb of Ram and I can’t imagine that there has been any performance bugfixing at all. Even selecting 4 images in the filmstripe to synchronize them needs 3 seconds. Using the healing brush is a nightmare.
Also tried to synchronize the metadata to delete wrong keywords by emptying the keyword field (the empty one says: let empty to delete keywords!!) and synchronize with the ones in question but nothing is done.
Hope it now has full support for GP-E2, including compass direction.
again only mainstream, no support for Sigma SD1 DP2m or DP1m
Am still downloading…will install this after two hours of download time. I’m anxious to see if they have fixed a bug I noticed, that when I switched to the Web module to make a gallery, the center part of the interface goes blank, just displays the circle that’s supposed to say ‘wait’ but its does not move, frozen. I can see the gallery title though, and I could work on the right panel and finish my gallery by exporting it, and I see my final gallery just fine. It’s just that my center panel stays blank. maybe too late to mention this now, but hey, if it’s not fixed with this version, can you please do this for the next? thanks!
Please test it out on your end, if it doesn’t look fixed from your perspective, please let us know about it by logging a bug report here: http://phtshp.us/report_a_problem
Thanks for the quick work on the D600. Partial fix is better than none at all. I’ll start with it today.
Thanks again for the D600 support. It’s made my day.
It’s about time Adobe! You should be ashamed of yourself for taking so damn long for tethered shooting support for a camera (5D Mark III) that’s been out for OVER 6 months!!!!!!!!!!!!
Look forward to edit some photos now
Great work.
Let’s see if this gets ANY faster at all… I’m not so secretly hoping Adobe would release software that’s faster than the previous version but haven’t had much luck for the past 17 years I’ve lived with Photoshop, LR, etc. I’ll be very happy if they finally make a LR that runs faster than I can click.
Lightroom 4.2 not recognizing d600Raw images
Have been really struggling with the book module. Whilst I’m really pleased with the templates and other features in the module I’m unable to upload my book to Blurb. I’ve tried “Send to Blurb” and “Save to PDF”, but without success.
Does 4.2 address these issues?
Losing the will to live here. Can you just tell us what’s up with the X-Pro1 conversions? Seems crazy you can’t do a better job with this.
Good job Adobe! Performance seems to be improved quite a bit and 5d mk iii tether support is much appreciated! Now, speed could always be better than this, but its much faster than 4.0.. I’ve got one concern though.. When I open a .cr2/.jpg in PS6 and get a .PSD file, why isn’t it added to the current collection? I hate to move files from “All files” to the collection I’ve opened it from.. That function could be a lot smarter and time-saving..
Anyone else struggling to get to the adobe site? Is it down???
I’m using LR4.1. Tells me update is available. Takes me to LR4.1 update page. As in, download Lightroom_4_LS11_win_4_1.exe. This is NOT FUNNY.
I think the link wasn’t updated right away, you should be able to get to it now. Let us know if this is not the case.
As of Oct 15, this bug/broken link has not been fixed. I still have the problem of being directed to 4.1 download
We’re aware of the link taking you to 4.1. Thanks for the feedback.
You can download the windows update to LR 4.2 here: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5488
not if you can help me when trying to upgrade to version 4.2 lightroom asks me Adobe_Lightroom.msi file tells me this on a route that is not in a temporary files folder … was looking for the web if any data habial I can help fix it, I can not uninstall it … the vesion I have is the 4.1 hELP
Can you download the 4.2 update from here and then update? I’m assuming you’re on Windows
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5488
Love Lightroom. Used it since it was beta. Work now together with other photographers in a NGO. All making their catalogues in Lightroom. Would love to merge our catalogues together and put the main LR-catalogue on a server for access for all of us. Why dont you allow a lightroom-catalogue to be read on a server?
if this is technically impossible, do you have recommadation for uscto make a main photobank, accessible from a server?
Big, big, big fan of LR and hat off for all the work and constant progress. But why no longer tethered for the original EOS 5D ? There are still a lot of them….. (yes, I have two of them).
Which OS? 10.7.5? http://www.digitaltransitions.com/blog/dt-blog/1075
What ist with the isue:
Photos were exported with original GPS coordinates recorded by the camera, not with the GPS coordinates updated in Lightroom.
Ist it fixed ?
The GPS bug was fixed in LR 4.1.
No mention of the widely complained about “Auto” in Develop which rarely gets images correct by over and under exposing images by around 1.0 to 2.0 stops? Maybe they’ve sneaked it in….
Just applied the upgrade and a significant speed improvement for me. Thank you Adobe!
Nice! Thanks for letting us know Robert
Please Adobe, add tether support for the NEX 7
So what’s the official word from Adobe then on the poor support for the X-Pro1? I assume you’re not bothered about the quality issues and that you have no plan to fix it – would that be a fair assumption? I’ve used Lightroom for many years now as a fairly early adopter and whatever camera I have had, I’ve always found Lightroom to be excellent. So much so that I recommend it to the people I teach photography to, maybe 10-20 people so far have purchased LR on my recommendation. I’m starting to question that now and even feel bad. I see a lot of people talking about how slow LR is now-a-days, actually I would take that over straight poor quality of files/results. I do understand that the X-Pro1 and X-E1 have a very different sensor and that needs to be looked at in a different way, but if SilkyPix can do it, surely Adobe can, right? SilkyPix is far from perfect, but just to get that detail I get from SilkyPix in LR would be great, that’s all I ask. Instead every step I have made to try and help you has failed or just been ignored. I’m banging my head against a brick wall here. So is it time to leave Adobe? Time to stop recommending you to my students? Just kindly get back to me on this or I am gone.
Fully support Andy’s comment.
Fujifilm’s X-Pro 1 and X-E1 is becoming popular among pro-users that use it their alternative system besides the DSLR. Can Adobe see this growing market? We need LR’s full support including the lens’ profile if LR is responsive to their users. Adobe, pls have a count on the frequency of this topic being raised on this page.
Hey,
Is it possible to shoot tethered with a Nikon D80? can you guys make it possible?
Thank you for the quick D600 support!
I understand that the tone curve in LR 4, process version 2012, allows adjustment separately for all RGB colours. How comes this is not available in version 4.2 I just downloaded, including for photos for which the process under camera calibration is switched to version 2012?
Does tamron 24-70 2.8 only have support on Nikon attachment
I could use it for canon
After LR corrupted my CF memory cards and losing several day of shooting a couple times and not able to retrieve my photos its time to go back to the free picasa never had a problem. Lesson learned
Another vote for fixing X-Pro 1 Raw file conversion please. Converted images are blurred and simply not usable. Adobe fixed the same problem on the Canon 5D mk3 within a few weeks of launch but the X-Pro 1 issue is still unresolved after many months.
Please!
Hey guys,
Thanks for the work that has gone into this update. However, the Application icon has become pixelated and low resolution since the update to 4.2. It is quite noticeable in the dock as well as when switching between applications. I am running OS X 10.6.8.
Anyone know how to fix this?
Try to remove the icon from the doc, then launch LR and pin it to the dock again. That should recreate the icon.
I had the same problem and tried your solution, which worked . . . for a day. Now it’s back to low-res.
Hi Pete,
I am have been experiencing the pixelated dock icon issue for awhile now (I believe since the 4.2 upgrade). The icon looks great when not open, or before a task is run. But once anything happens that shows the dock icon progress bar, it gets pixely, and remains so until I close the app. I tried your suggestion above, but no change. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Cory
Am I invisible?
If so, you’d be a super hero!
No Andy, you are not invisible. Your comments were probably read by Adobe people, but as Adobe is a big company, it will take time to make decisions, prepare answers, etc. Or the other possibility is that Adobe do not want to share with you that they do not care about their customers…
I need LR´s full support for my Canon Powershot G15 – when will it be implemented?
I just upgraded from the Canon G12 to Canon G15 and I’m super disappointed, really shocked to find that I can’t open my G15 RAW files in Lightroom as I could the G12′s. I’m a professional photographer using the G15 as my compact alternative to my DSLR system. I chose to commit to .dng / Lightroom, because I thought that if I used Adobe standards I wouldn’t have to worry about which specific camera system I used. The G15 has to be on the short list of top prosumer cameras…when will LR support this camera?
Hi ML,
Support for the G15 has been added in LR 4.3 — blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjournal/2012/12/lightroom-4-3-now-available.html
Hi Pete, I’m not seeing it. I’m running LR 4.3 and the G15 is not on the Canon Lens Profile drop-down list, just the G10, G11 & G12. Can you help?
Call me a wanna-be, but I’d like to see the iPhone 5 added to the list of supported lens profiles. It’s not a Hasselblad, but it can get the job done at times. It’d be nice to be able to correct for the lens distortion. It would also be nice if selecting Apple from the manufacturer list would enable it to automatically choose which model of Apple phone.
It’s been about a week and the update is still not available on the Apple App Store.. I am really regretting purchasing there… Anything you can do to help?
Hi Jason. We have submitted Lightroom 4.2 to the App Store and are awaiting approval. It’ll be available once it is approved.
So now it’s been almost 2 weeks since the release, and still no update on AppStore…. (grumpy)
I’d like to know if there are any plans to allow tethered capture from the Nikon D3100?
In this release case, no news is bad news.
Guys of Adobe, you’ll never manage it to surprise us with the implementation of our feedback voice.
But that’s what you guys are continuously asking from your user base, but accomplishment from your side is null, false, nothing.
Moving a chair takes it’s time. But anytime YOU GUYS are moving a chair, you move it backwards.
How many millions of dollars you want to spend further into the (not so bright) future for (mis)develeopment of Lightroom.
Listen to us! Make it a bummer! Let’s sell it well, and everyone of us might live in a much happier digital world.
Otherwise just stick with your madness and ingnorance AND arrogance against your loyal usersbase, and you will go nowhere if only YOU think whats good for us.
Don’t do it tomorrow, do it NOW!!!!!!! We’re waiting for too long anyway!
Get your ass up!
I live in the mountains and have a slow internet connection and would like to gat the Lightroom 4.2 update by CD ………………..Does Adobe make this available?
We do not have the 4.2 update available on CD. You should be able to start a download and leave it going overnight though right?
Just checking to see if there are any other reports of presets disappearing with the 4.2 upgrade (user/custom).
Fortunately I keep mine backed up, but thought you should know that they didn’t carry over, thus needed to re-import each custom folder.
On a positive note, one thing I didn’t notice in your enhancement list, is that I was able to move my entire Job Folder (which holds LRcat, as well as originals, both in subfolders) without having to “locate” files. Essentially, it appears, that the file path was reduced to exclude User Name/Pictures (in mac).
THANK YOU MUCHLY for the return of + and – shortcuts. Didn’t have the time to inquire if that was just me scratching head, or universal. Much appreciated!
Also very impressed that, despite the spicy feedback, you’ve got the humble transparency to allow posts – favorable to you or not.
Cheers!
I haven’t seen reports of missing presets from the upgrade. I’ll keep an eye out if it is becoming a trend.
Can’t get Lightroom 4.2 64-bit to launch in Windows 7 without running the repair installation tool every time I want to use it. Would recommend sticking with 4.1!
Maybe it’d be worth uninstalling and reinstalling Tony?
Hi Adobe. I’m VERY disappointed about your FINAL 4.2 release. FINAL? I’m an Adobe LR ACE, I use LR for job and workshops, but I have so many troubles with Develop Module I became a bit crazy!!! Yes, my PC is only 32bit with 4Gb RAM and I will upgrade to 64bit with 16Gb RAM, but it will be useful? Why Adobe have created a so unusable version of LR? Yes, powerful RAW engine, but if I’m not able to use it something is wrong…Adobe HAVE TO REBUILD Develop module, my customers want speedness…Sorry for my bad words, I love LR from the first release, the 3.6 was the best version for stability and performance, the 4.x version is a nightmare…Please consider your customers need, we support you, you support us!
Thanks Duilio, We’re working on ironing out some more of the performance issues in LR4. 4.2 addressed a few of them, but we will keep working to fix the remaining causes.
Thanks Pete! I wish you good job with LR4 then
when will the Nikon D600 be fully supported??
No current timeframe to comment on when the full support will be added, it is quite functional in its current state though
Is there a plug in or something that I can use to tether using Nikon D80 with LR4?
When will there be support for Canon G15 in LR4?
It’s a pretty new camera (a month old)…We tend to add new camera support a few times throughout each year. No ETA on next update timeframe however.
When will there be an update to support the Canon G15? It’s strange that there’s already one for the EOS M – which isn’t as widely available as the G15 – yet there isn’t support for the G15 yet.
It’s a pretty new camera (a month old)…We tend to add new camera support a few times throughout each year. No ETA on next update timeframe however.
Thank you for the response! I hope you’re able to add an update for it soon! I love Lightroom 4… and I love my new G15… and I can’t wait to be able to use them together!
Hi,
is there a difference between the lens profiles for Nikon and Canon lens mount? The reason I ask this: I bought the new Tamron 24-70 lens for Canon, but Adobe published just the lens profile for Nikon mount. Can I use ist for my Canon pictures either?
What happened with LR 4.2? With version 4.1 I could right-click a raw file and select “open with LR”, and now this seems impossible.
I like Lightroom for what it can do, but I HATE the totally user-unfriendly bullshit with “importing”, “libraries, “catalogs”, “sets” and whatsoever. I just want to edit certain photos with Lightroom and nothing more. I always did and want to continue doing my own organisation in Windows without any dominantly pushed interference of other software.
Is there no way to switch off all this “organisation” rubbish in Lightroom???
I just want to treat my photo’s and all this confusing ballast makes me crazy!
Why can’t you still right click the image and choose Open with Lightroom? Is it not in the list? Can you click Browse and point to Lightroom to add it to the list? (this is a windows list)
Lightroom is an image cataloging and photograph tone manipulation application. If you just want to edit photos specifically without having to import into lightroom (which is how lightroom gets to see and work with an image), do you have Photoshop to do this type of workflow?
No, Windows (7) refuses to add Lightroom 4.2 to the list of programs to open CR2 files. This went without problem with LR4.1.
I have Photoshop Elements, but I bought Lightroom because it has more possibilities.
Loaded Adobe Lightroom 4.2 to MacBook Pro – Only 8 images appear in preview. The Nikon D600 .NEF files mostly display “Preview unavailable for this file. DSC_0022.NEF” and dark grey ones when clicked on say “This appears to be a duplicate of a file already on file” or This is a suspected duplicate”
What gives?!?
Update on Lightroom 4.2 – tested downloading two images to external drive. Worked OK. When Lightroom went back to preview page images appeared and were downloaded.
Some bugs in Lightroom 4.2 64 bits (Win 7, Intel i7-3930K, 6 cores, 32GB of RAM – DSRL : Nikon D800)
- the cut and past of parameters from one picture to another works only sometimes. Usually I have to repeat the command 2 or 3 times and then it works. A problem of synchronisation in multithreading ?
- when exporting a set of pictures, there is probable a memory leak: the used memory increases until the end of the process, which is not normally. The memory used for export should be free after each picture. After such a long export (150 pictures), I have to restart Lightroom despite my 32Gb of RAM…
I have just bought my first DSLR so I have never had photoshop – where do I start – is Lightroom an add on or can I just buy it without having photoshop – sorry for my ignorance guys but I’d appreciate your advice.
Lightroom and Photoshop are two separate and different stand-alone products. Lightroom gives you the ability to organize and powerfully edit your photos lighting overall as well as do some finer adjustments as needed working towards an export of some kind (print, web, book, etc)
Photoshop is an image editor that gives you the power to do anything you can imagine to an image, including the edits that Lightroom can perform but more finely tuned for creating compositions or doing heavier duty image-manipulation.
They have different functions, but the functionality bleeds together when working to create an end result.

I just purchased the Canon S110, but it’s RAW format doesn’t seem to be supported in Lightroom 4.2 yet. I just checked for updates, but it claims I have the most recent version.
Is there an eta on when Adobe will release support for Canon S110′s RAW format?
(See also http://forums.adobe.com/message/4782125)
Thanks!
No ETA to comment on at this time. The Canon S110 is a pretty brand new camera, and we typically add new support for new cameras a few times each year. LR 4.2 was released on Oct 9th.
Ok, so a few months away. Unfortunate, but thanks for the reply.
Hi to you all. I’m just passed to 64bit OS with 16Gigs RAM: previously with 32bit OS and 4 Gigs RAM the Lightroom Develop Module was quite unusable…now it’s a flash! I can develop deeply a 20 MB RAW with dozen of spots removal, local filters and so on with so much speedness! It’s incredible the difference from the past to the present, now I can LR in the way I’ve always searched for…I’m so happy and also my customer. Now I can improve drastiscally my workflow, more RAWs develop in so less time! Now I’m very satisfied. I suggest to people who have slowness trougle to move to a 64bit OS and increase your RAM. It’s literally another working world! have a nice day
Lightroom 4.2 freezes – I have been having this issue since updating to 4.2.
Always occurs about 30 minutes into my Lightroom session.
No particular command is an obvious culprit.
I will click on a slider, or whatever, and the mouse cursor will freeze.
NOTHING I can do will restore the system and the only recourse is to use the power switch to turn the system off and then reboot.
To reiterate once the mouse freezes it is all over and nothing more can be done since neither the mouse nor the keyboard will then respond.
Waiting five minutes or five hours makes no difference.
Which module are you in? If the whole computer is freezing that has potential to be bad ram, or maybe processor at fault. The software shouldn’t shouldn’t be able to cause the entire system to freeze unless hardware may be to blame.
Are you Windows or Mac? Which OS Ver?
LR 4.1 didn’t ever cause the computer to freeze?
If Mac, Do you see anything abnormal if you watch Lightroom in the activity monitor?
Another vote for A99 tethering please!
Any known issues with Windows 8 ?
another vote to work out the raw conversion for fuji xpro1 and xe1. it would make my life o so much easier.
I used to trust the LR3 auto adjustment. With LR4 I find myself adjust the exposure back to 0 after using the auto. I ended up creating another preset just to return the exposure of all imported images to 0. It is a two step process with LR4 until adobe takes the time to fix this.
I have also noticed that LR4 will use 100% of the CPU if I keep the program running but being idle (distracted watching TV) even with a small catalog (300 images).
Win7 64bit 8mb ram 7200rpm Nvidia AMD dual core 2.6Ghz
Fuji X-Pro 1 again. I assume there is something tricky with raw conversion from this chip and can of course accept this. But what I really would expect is an ADOBE statement on the perception of the problem from side of ADOBE together with a comment on the activities planned on the topic – hopefuly quicker than I need to get used to SlikyPix!
Just got LR 4.2 on my new Windows 8 OS. Doesn’t recognize my D600 NEX files. Any ideas what might be wrong?
Ever since I updated when I export a photo and choose export as original it exports as a 16×24. I check the photo before putting it in light room and it’s 50 inches by 80 inches which is correct and how I want to export it after I fix the white balance when necessary. All I am doing is changing the white balance and exporting and this is how it is coming out. This has never been an issue before. I’m regretting the update. Please help.
Do the actual pixel dimensions change? or is it just the image dimensions for print?
Where the hell are the RGB Curves!?!?!?
Honestly guys, how long can you dare going on with the performance issue?
I have a 3.4 GHz i7 2600 processor with 8GO of RAM and the 4.2 release is not even faster than the 4.1, which was a nightmare compared to 3.6 !!!!
4.2 is even slower than 4.1 in applying some changes in the develop module (exposure, Higlights, vignetting).
V 4 has been out for more than 6 months and is still not working properly. Work harder and faster or you’ll lose us, seriously!
Waoo! 18 minutes to export 72 files in web size Jpeg (LR preset), and 27 minutes in full size Jpeg. That’s what I call performance
Please support the following two lenses:
Samyang 35mm f/1.4 AS UMC
and
Samyang 14mm f/2.8 IF ED UMC
Hello, any idea on Win 7 tether support for the Samsung EX2F for the near future?
Thanks!

I thought the XPro-1 and the X-E1 had the same sensor. Why is the X-E1 supported and not the X-Pro1?
•Back Cover of Book layout had Horizontal text on spine rather than Vertical
This has NOT been fixed for all page formats. Large Square format spine orientation remains horizontal, however, Regular Landscape format is correct. This has been verified by Blurb customer service.
Lightroom 4.2 is a dog. It performs horribly on my machines.
I cannot stay with 4.2 at all as it is unusable.
Hola, tengo el objetivo canon ef 28-200mm USM , el cual no esta en la lista de objetivos de lightroom 4.2. ¿Cuando será actualizado esta lente? gracias.
I have purchased a new Pentax K-r. It doesn’t seem to want to work in Lightroom 4. Amy I doing something wrong. The camera just won’t operate when connected to my computer. Any help would be appreciated.
Do you mean working with the RAW files doesn’t work? You should be able to work just fine with the RAW files after they’ve been imported into LR 4. Have you updated to LR 4.2? or the 4.3 RC?
If you are trying to Tether, then you will run into some trouble as Lightroom does not support tethering with this camera.

When will you support Fujinon lenses, like the 18-55 mm 2.8/4
Thanks
You can create your own lens profiles using the Adobe Lens Profile creator — currently supported lenses and links to the profile creation tools here — http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/lens-profile-support-lightroom-4.html
Canon G15– great little camera. LR4.2 imports jpegs but won’t import .CR2 images (RAW). Please fix this. Canon G10 .CR2 images imported fine.
Fujifilm X-Pro1 support needed! Nothing else needs to be said.
please add thetered camera support for nikon d5100!!
I really enjoy using Lightroom 4. But to add one more request to the list; I would like to see tethered capture for my Pentax K-5.
Hi I am a pro photographer and use LR I am about to buy the Fuji X Pro 1.
when are you going to support the RAW files to a professional standard with no smudging etc? I have read through the messages and there are very many asking the same question but you have not replied to any of them? Could you bring us all up to date regarding your lack of support for the Fuji X Pro 1. Thank you
If I load Lightroom 4 will I lose all the presets I have purchased from other providers and editing software such as OnOne and Nik Software etc .. basically will I have to reload them?
You will have to reload them in the new version. Also you’ll want to make sure you have the updated versions of the plug-ins that is compatible with LR4
Another vote for sony Nex tethering (Nex 6 & Nex 7)
Please
I just recently bought the Macbook Pro 13 inch with retina display. I just tried to download LR–had error message. Does this mean I can’t install LR of Photoshop on this Macbook??
Fujifilm X-Pro1 support needed! I would really like to be able to edit my raw files from the Xpro 1, and not have them all blurry, and smeared looking. Any update on when this will be taken care of? Is it even being looked at? Also lens profiles…..
Please, Adobe, add tethering for Nex 6 / 7 to lightroom (via Wifi or USB, according to your liking)
I have ligjhtroom 4 and got the canon mark 3 and cant view my images.
how do I up grade. please send me a link
When will LR support Nikon D3100 tether? We are still waiting.
Still no retina, lenses and color profiles added?
