Lightroom 6 is here!

So, I turned on the computer a little while ago and I saw an update notice from Creative Cloud. It would appear the new version of Lightroom is here. I've just finished installing it on my Windows 8.1 desktop as well as my MacBook Air and I have to say that I'm pretty happy.

It installed quickly and seems to be rather snappy. Performance was one of the areas they were supposed to be focusing on for this release and I can see it.  I'll be playing more with the new release over the next week or so.

I did find one small issue though on my Windows machine. Whenever I went into the Develop module, Lightroom would lock up and Windows would report it as Not Responding. Having a similar issue in previous releases, I deleted my Lightroom Catalog Previews.lrdata file. Once I did that, everything ran fine. There's always going to be one thing that gets you when updating software. Hopefully this is it.

I'm back... Lightroom 6 rumors...

Hello everyone.... A sad loss in the family has been keeping me busy as well as drained the batteries some. But, I'm back, with camera and computer in tow, and getting back into the swing of things.

To kick off 2015, I start with a recent post about Lightroom 6. If true, we'll get a performance boost as well as some new features. To learn more, check out this PetaPixel article.

Adobe and Chromebook are sharing their toys...

This is pretty interesting. I was wondering if there would ever be a streaming or "on demand" option. Yes, I do understand this requires a constant Internet connection. But, it's another tool that may meet the need for some. Click the pic for more details.
