This morning I jumped into Lightroom for a minute and got a pleasant surprise when the program loaded. The newest update has been released! This is a typical Adobe interim software build which primarily adds support for new cameras, in this case the Nikon D3000 and the Olympus E-P1. As I'm shooting quite a bit with my new Pen and almost always shoot in RAW I've been anxiously awaiting this release. (Adobe did push out a new version of the DNG converter a few weeks ago which supported the Olympus RAW files but that's an extra step and quite a bit more disk space taken up as each .ORF file would have a new .DNG file of approximately the same size created.)
Installing the software is a typical Adobe install although at about 140Mb it's a pretty good sized download. I imported the last set of RAW files I'd shot two days ago in and made a few adjustments to see that everything works as expected. It did and the results are shown above.
The Windows update can be found here:
