Along with the new Lightroom™ 2.0, Adobe has launched a new and very useful Community Help site. Now you are able to search Adobe content as well as other great content from around the web!

You can ask questions, make comments, help your fellow Lightroom users, and get the help you need! The site is moderated by Adobe personnel and other outside Pro Contributors (including yours truly!) so you can expect that someone will answer your question or direct you to the proper site for help.

This Community Help site has been in place for Flex™ users for a few months and has been a great resource. Now Lightroom™ users can benefit from the same excellent technology.

Head on over and see for yourself!

Lightroom 2.0 is finally here! Some of the new features include:

• Local adjustment brush

After releasing the 1.4 update to Lightroom it was discovered that there were quite a few problems. Adobe subsequently pulled the update. Now those issues have been resolved and Lightroom 1.4.1 is ready for you to download.

The three major fixes from the last update include:

• DNG conversions - DNG conversion previously corrupted by 1.4 can be corrected by re-converting the DNG file in 1.4.1
• EXIF Time Stamp - time stamp metadata is now correctly posted after conversion
• Olympus jpeg files are now correctly displayed in 1.4.1

If you are a Mac use click here for the update. Windows users can click here.

Tom Hogarty from Adobe has posted full details in his blog. Also, don't forget to download the corresponding update for Camera Raw and the DNG Converter! (Mac, Windows)

A few critical bugs found their way into Adobe's latest updates for Lightroom and Camera Raw affecting BOTH Mac and Windows platforms. As a result they have pulled the Lightroom 1.4 and Camera Raw 4.4 updates from the site and are recommending that you downgrade to the prior versions until the issues are resolved.
