Lightroom 3.2 RC and ACR 6.2 available
08/10 2010 Posted in Photoshop | 0 comments
Lightroom 3.2 and ACR 6.2 have just been released on Adobe Labs as release candidates.
You haven’t missed anything – there was no 3.1.
The numbers have been shifted to match up with ACR’s .2 release to prevent further confusion.
Besides corrected bugs, new lens profiles, new camera support, there is one new Lightroom feature which is the ability to publish directly to Facebook from within the Library module.

Edit in Photoshop 32bit with Lightroom 64bit
03/9 2010 Posted in Photoshop | 0 comments
I got the question whether it is possible to edit in Photoshop 32bit with Lightroom 64bit version, because some Photoshop plugins only work on the 32bit platform.
This can be done! You can add the Photoshop 32bit as an external editor.
To do this, go the Edit menu, choose Preferences and click into the External Editing Tab.
Then click on the ‘choose’ button in the additional External Editor and point the photoshop.exe file in your file system.
In most cases ‘C:>Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4’. Then click on the preset drop down menu and click “Save Current Settings as a new Preset.” Name it like CS4 32bit or Photoshop 32bit.

Bodrum Turkey
Last week I’ve traveled to Bodrum-Turkey. ‘Unfortunately’ the temperature was more than 40°C, so I didn’t make a lot of pictures. This girl wasn’t a model but a tourist who just had to cool down.
