Hi Christine: the upgrade is really simple. I just download from the Adobe site, install by following on screen directions, and you're done, I've done upgrades since the 1st version and have never had a problem.
If you're having hardware problems, I'd sort that out first before I'd upgrade any application. Yes, using Lightroom 4. It's great! Highly recommend it. The highlight and shadow sliders are very robust, in my view, and they have added the geo mapping and book module is linked to blurb.com. The book module interface is very nice, easy to use. Once I find all my photos, I'll really be able to do something with them now! :-) Cheers, Christine On Jul 21, 2012, at 8:50 PM, Christine Nielsen <[email protected]> wrote: > That is good news, Christine! > > You are running LR 4, yes?
