IWC Doppel Posted October 15, 2013 Share #1 Posted October 15, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) Outside of the additional features and evolution o som eof the tools is the back engine different for conversion ? Will I see any difference doing the same things in LR5 as LR4 ? I'm talking about M9 DNG files Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 Hi IWC Doppel, Take a look here Updating from LR4 to 5. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
erudolph Posted October 15, 2013 Share #2 Posted October 15, 2013 There are differences between 4 and 5. Not sure of all of them but the Highlight/Shadow recovery are different and, notably, the NR definitely seems improved. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff S Posted October 16, 2013 Share #4 Posted October 16, 2013 While some tools and controls are new, the process version remains the same as the one used in 2012. Unlike the change from 2010 to 2012, the develop module in LR5 does not have a option to reprocess images based on a new engine. That doesn't mean, of course, that your results will be identical since some new LR5 features may allow for better control and results. But that's up to you.

erudolph Posted October 16, 2013 Share #5 Posted October 16, 2013 I apologize for my post. I'm afraid I was thinking of the differences between versions 3 and 4, rather than 4 and 5. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWC Doppel Posted October 16, 2013 Author Share #6 Posted October 16, 2013 I'll stick with 4.4 for the time being then Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff S Posted October 16, 2013 Share #7 Posted October 16, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) Questionable decision IMO. Inexpensive and easy upgrade, with better controls. And all the LR 5 improvements, sure to come, will be free. Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to look for the little lightning bolt icon under the histogram in the Develop module. Hover over it and it shows the PV previously applied by an earlier version of LR, and offers you the same options to upgrade single shot or whole filmstrip as per this screenshot Jim PS Wholly agree with Jeff that the upgrade is worth doing.

Jeff S Posted October 16, 2013 Share #9 Posted October 16, 2013 Actually that's not quite true - it's still there, just harder to find in LR5. Clearly what I meant was that the latest is process version 2012, which happened before LR 5. But if an image was processed earlier based on version 2003 or 2010, then the icon will appear to update to 2012. But the OP was specifically asking about LR 4, so his pics are likely processed under 2012 already, so he won't see the icon for those pics. LR 5 didn't introduce a new processing engine.
