Lightroom 2.7 and ACR 5.7 Released

    Lightroom 2.7 and ACR 5.7 were both officially released last night, after a few weeks on Adobe Labs as release candidates.


    Lightroom 2.7
    Windows
    Mac


    ACR 5.7
    Windows
    Mac



    As usual, there’s support for new cameras:
    Canon EOS 550D (Digital Rebel T2i/ EOS Kiss X4 Digital)
    Kodak Z981
    Leaf Aptus-II 8 and Leaf Aptus-II 10R
    Mamiya DM40
    Olympus E-PL1
    Panasonic G2 and Panasonic G10
    Sony A450

    There’s also been some extra work behind the scenes – Lightroom 2.7 and ACR 5.7 now use the new demosaic which has been available in Lightroom 3 beta for some time. This new demosaic retains extra detail in your image, making them sharper and respond better to subsequent noise reduction, however it does mean that images may show a little more noise at default values. This change does apply to your existing images as well as new images, therefore you may wish to check your noise reduction values, possibly increasing the luminance noise reduction by 15-20 to get a result closer to that of Lightroom 2.6 on some images.


    ACR 5.7 is now compatible with Lightroom 3 beta 2, so any images opened directly into Photoshop without an interim TIFF/PSD file will now render correctly. Images with settings created by LR3 beta 2 and stored in XMP will also convert correctly, however there are no sliders in the ACR 5.7 dialog to make further adjustments to those new settings – making adjustments will require returning to LR3. Lightroom 2.7 is NOT fully compatible and won’t understand Lightroom 3 beta 2 settings.

    LR3 Beta is a great piece of software and will be awesome when it is finally released as an upgrade etc.

    However, one thing to note that using the current Beta version you are not able to export that catalogue into the current version of LR or into the fully working released version of LR3. So it is handy enough to keep whatever version you have to the latest.

    Also allowing for the fact it is updated for the latest camera bodies too.
