But that's an ever changing number and at the time of the snap shot I had only opened up the programme. I am not aware of any way to force LR to use more memory as the system determines whats available and where to allocate it

However, you got me thinking

As an exercise I had a look at LR3 and LR2 system info while doing editing and other tasks, all in 1.1 ratio. It would appear that LR3 doesn't grab as much memory right out the box i.e at startup, and it is more efficient i.e. releasing memory quicker when not needed. This wasn't a bench test by any means, but if you have a look at the two and compare I am sure you will find it interesting.

It's stopped using up all my CPU power while doing nothing, frankly, I wouldn't mind if it used up 100% of my CPU load if it worked fast but right now it's no faster than LR2.

Yeah I've noticed when using the new colour noise reduction, sharpening and vingetting tools at once along with a bunch of other edits on a ISO 6,400 shot, it takes a half-second when zoomed in for it to apply the changes.

Adobe obviously called when I was out, they wanted there real time back, -_-

How can I add a printer to adobe reader? I am trying to print a PDF from adobe reader and it doesn't have the right printer. The printer shows up on my computer, just not in adobe reader. Any suggestions?

One of the features of Lightroom 3 is a new, improved RAW-converter.
But:
As I understand the RAW-converter for LR 2 and Photoshop CS4 are identical. As CS4 is not ripe for a new release (or is it?) I suspect that the new RAW-converter will be operational with Phtoshop CS 4 too.
So does this mean for users of LR2 and CS4 that you can get the new RAW-converter for free, but it will only work with CS4 (and LR3) but not with LR2 **confused**

Never heard of Lightroom until I had joined this forum. Downloading and looking forward to having a dabble.

The Lightroom 3 beta expires in April. So it's logical to assume that a release will arrive at around that time. Photoshop CS3 was released in April 2007, CS4 followed in October 2008 which is an 18 month period. This makes a CS5 release in April 2010 a very high possibility.

This is why I'm holding off any purchases until May 2010. I can live without Photoshop and Lightroom for now, so no sense in rushing to get these packages. Elements will meet my needs in the time being.

Yeah, it seems like Adobe will be on an "update cycle" for most of its products again
That would easily explain how the new CRAW-converter will be integrated in LR 3 and PS CS 5 simultaneously.

Hi folks,

Adobe has released a new beta of Lightroom 3 which you can find here. From that page:

New in Lightroom 3 Beta 2


• Improved performance throughout the application for faster importing and loading of images
• Native tethered shooting support for select Nikon and Canon DSLR cameras
• Luminance noise reduction has been added to the previous color noise reduction improvements available in the first public beta for outstanding overall high ISO quality
• Support for importing and managing video files from DSLR cameras for better overall photographic workflow control
• Improvements to the import experience in the first beta to reflect public feedback
• Improved watermarking functionality from the first beta to reflect public feedback
  
  Lightroom 3 beta 2 builds on the enhancements introduced in the first Lightroom 3 beta release:
  
• Brand new performance architecture, building for the future of growing image libraries
• State-of-the-art noise reduction to help you perfect your high ISO shots
• Watermarking tool that helps you customize and protect your images with ease
• Portable sharable slideshows with audio—designed to give you more flexibility and impact on how you choose to share your images, you can now save and export your slideshows as videos and include audio
• Flexible customizable print package creation so your print package layouts are all your own
• Film grain simulation tool for enhancing your images to look as gritty as you want
• New import handling designed to make importing streamlined and easy
• More flexible online publishing options so you can post your images online to certain online photo sharing sites directly from inside Lightroom 3 beta (may require third-party plug-ins)

The current Lightroom 3 public beta 2 will expire on June 30, 2010.

Bob.

Thanks for the info. I will try the new version, as the old beta crashed when I imported photos from a network drive so I could not use it (I could have, but did not want to spend time and effort moving the photos I wanted to import from the network to my PC before imnporting...).

I'm slightly annoyed by this. I was hoping that LR 3 and CS5 would be released in April which was when the old beta expired. Looks like I'll have to save and wait a bit longer.

i am EXTREMELY impressed with the noise reduction.

i am considering buying it as soon as it comes out, just for that.

the new import screen is much more efficient as well.
