Re: some Lightroom 5 play
Hallo Christine, I've been using LR5 for some time now and found some minor problems here and there. Little bugs that I worked around—like some weirdnesses editing overlays in the Print module, an odd bug when importing from a source that contained PNGs and any .XMP files, etc. Adobe has released Lightroom 5.2 Release Candidate with some new camera support and bug fixes. I've been working with it for a few days now ... they've fixed every bug I found and a few I didn't know about! It seems ever so slightly snappier in operation than 5.0 as well (at least on my system). Definitely update to that, and to the release when it comes out. http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/lightroom5-2/ The new tools for rectilinear corrections and the radial filter are fantastic, I've used them quite a lot. The improvements to the spotting tool are also very very good: I've been shooting a good bit of film lately and the spotting tool is especially handy when cleaning up a massive 6x6 film scan.

RE: some Lightroom 5 play
Your trials have convinced me that I need the upgrade. I am eagerly awaiting the LR5 upgrade sale later this year. So many hobbies, so little cash :-) The upright tool will be a great help in making a lot of my travel photos more pleasing. Too often there is no time or space to get a decent perspective.

Re: some Lightroom 5 play
Gerrit: in the meantime you can perspective-straighten your shots manually in Lr4. In the Develop module, under Lens Corrections choose the Manual tab. Enable Constrain Crop. Then tweak the Transform: Vertical slider to suit. The other sliders may be required for other types of distortion. You can fix shots from unrecognized lenses or home-made optics, like that one you bought from Tichy. ;-) On Sun, Aug 4, 2013 at 2:42 PM, Gerrit Visser gerrit...@gmail.com wrote: Your trials have convinced me that I need the upgrade.

RE: some Lightroom 5 play
I'll give that a try, seem to be learning a lot about LR lately. Not getting too many photos up for viewing though I was taking a look at this (http://hackaday.com/2013/07/23/polishing-optics-milled-from-acrylic/), might put new optics in the junk 28-80 Pentax lens I got (just for the mounting ring, which is another story.)

Re: some Lightroom 5 play
Thanks, Godfrey. Just updated to the 5.2 release candidate and seems pretty good. I have no idea what bugs LR 5 had, but I'm glad they are gone. lol. Though I do agree LR 5 seemed less snappier than the LR 4+. I think I'll have to upgrade my memory on the iMac. I've been meaning to do that but haven't gotten around to it. Thanks for the heads up on the release candidate!

Re: some Lightroom 5 play
Yep, what Bruce said. The manual option is still and excellent tool, and it's still around in Lightroom 5. With LR 5 you'll get the option to do a bit of automatic work (which I think is very good) and manual tweaking. Try it. What's great about LR is you can experiment away, then with one quick click, you can reset the photo back to it's original state.
