Avalible for download now: Adobe Labs - Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3

 

Much faster, more stable, and you can play with luminance noise reduction (works real good). If you were using the first Beta it will "upgrade" your catalog. Don't know if there's any going back afterwards (but after a couple of hours with it I don't see why you'd want to).

 

(Word to the wise, keep a parallel store of images in LR2.6.1, just in case...)

Noise reduction is awesome, these are version of the same picture: M9 @2500iso (a bit underxposed to get more noise :) ).

I tested it also, but I don't find that. Normal behavior with my dng conversions/exports.

@nightfire: what system are you using mac/pc/OS?

There may be some differences in that.

BTW OSX 10.6.2 + MacBook Pro work well for me.

I tried this on a 4GB 2.33GHz iMac running 10.5.8. Had no problems with LR2.

 

However, a lot of other software on my machine is not up to par (I still have CS3 and the associated old Camera Raw, for instance), so the delay experienced may also be due to any number of other reasons. I find that exporting a processed DNG to a 900px JPEG takes a few seconds in LR2, while it consistently takes some 15-20 seconds with LR3. Just wondered whether this is my setup only, or a possible new "feature" of LR3.

It is spectacular on M9 shots. The detail and NR is significantly better than C1 V5 Pro, which having recently bought it, is a bit of a b****er. The only thing that is puzzling me is when I tried to see how good it was on M8 shots, there is no M8 profile, just Adobe standard, ACR 3.6, ACR 4.4 and Camera Standard. Do I need to get a profile for the M8 and load it. When I look at an M9 image, the M9 profile pops up in the list under Camera Calibration. Any help appreciated. Also puzzled why ACR 5.6 is not on the list as that is what my version of Bridge and CS4 use.

"Adobe Standard" is Adobe's way of saying "the Adobe version of a standard profile for the camera listed in the EXIF of the file you are editing" If you want to use the Leica profile, as embedded in the EXIF, the choose "Embedded" as the profile.

 

That's a long way to say that LR3 uses the "Adobe Standard" profile for both the M8 and M9. Unlike some other DSLRs there is only one "adobe standard" for each Leica M digital. If you've got one titled "M9" it is a custom one, not the "Adobe Standard."

 

The profiles are in "<main hard drive>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CameraRaw/CameraProfiles/Adobe Standard."

Carl,

 

I had found the M9 profile but it is definitely one created by Adobe not me because it is dated 19 Sept 09. This is before I had loaded any version of LR and a month and a bit before I got my M9. I think on the earlier version of LR3-Beta, I used to get an M8 profile pop up on the camera calibration. I had not been using LR-B1 for a while as I had recently bought C1 V5 pro and I had been a C1 user for years. I had deleted LR-B1 from my MacBook Pro although it was still on my iMac, which I don't use a lot when in the UK. However, I have been having horrible stability problems with C1 V5 (will not process multiple DNG's to JPEG's although it will to TIFF's - may be linked in to the continuing indexing issue of 64 bit files in Slow Leopard - Finder crashes with irretrievable 10810 error), I decided to use LR3-B2 until Apple/Phase One sort this nonsense. It just seems surprising that Adobe have created a specific profile named M9 but not one named M8.

Wilson,

The profile which comes closest for me is not Adobe Standard, but the one called Camera Standard.

Using it straight on an M8 file it will be too dark, but I have adjusted it using the Adobe DNG Profile Editor (curves) and find it gives me the skin tone and red rendition very close to the Capture One 5 program.

Maurice,

 

I was just hoping to be lazy. I do have Gretag Macbeth targets and DNG Profile editor. If I got off my backside, I could easily make an M8 profile .dcp file. I just wish making an icc profile for C1 was as easy.

this new beta version is amazing. With the M9 it is like having a new camera especially at low noise. Can't wait for the full version. The only reason I'm not using it full time is because of the catalogue limits that the beta version have and I presume that when the full version comes out Lr2 catalogues will be automatically transferred?
