Lightroom 2.2 is Available
Howdy folks. Just thought I’d give you a friendly reminder that Lightroom 2.2 is available. You can read all about it here at Tom Hogarty’s blog (the Lightroom 2 product manager) but I figured I’d cut straight to the chase and tell you, at least from my point of view, the juicy stuff. For starters, YES, Adobe has improved performance of the Adjustment Brush. Although my personal issues with it were sporadic and hard to reproduce, my early indications are that I’m definitely seeing better performance there. There’s a few other fixes included but, to me, the major one is that the camera profiles are now prime time and included in the Camera Calibration panel by default. This is huge! There’s a lot of people that are still hesitant of beta software and wouldn’t download them from the Adobe Labs website (plus, they were buried there anyway). I think they’ll become a lot more useful now that they’re included in the software by default.
Here’s the link to download 2.2 for Mac

Matt, thanks for everything. Here’s an FYI – please pass on to Adobe as appropriate.
LR 2.2 Problem
Just updated to LR 2.2 this afternoon and was at first pleased with the brush improvement – until I turned on automask. LR 2.2 has locked up twice (both times I’ve tried to use it this p.m.) Required shutting down LR (losing edits) and relaunching. One other time LR 2.2 crashed and shut down.
I rebooted my PC after the upgrade and restarted again after the first lockup.
It is again locked up with the hourglass and I will again lose my edits which is no big deal in this particular instance but obviously can’t go on doing this.
Platform: Dell XPS 630, XP Pro, Quad processors, 4 GB RAM, nVidia GeForce 8800 GT.
Thanks again,
Bill
Very dissapointed to see that adobe have not fixed a bug that drives me mad – which is:
if you export to a 16 bit tiff and then run an action in photoshop to save a folder of files to jpeg any photo you have developed that you used the adjustment brush on will stop the action, you then have to take that photo out of the folder and repeat the action – if their is another such photo in the folder you have to repeat the process again -
this has wasted me so much time
really hope they fix this soon!

I installed LR 2.2 on my vista 64. I have cs3. In LR I try to edit on Photoshop and when done i hot save. Then PS writes the new file to disk. This is happening with JPEG. Any clues…?
Installed LR2.2 on a XP-2gb ram. LR1 to 2.1 was one of the most stable and productive system I had to date. Now I have constant crashes. Memory use grows from .4 to about 1gb with and very slow in rendering for the second monitor. Is this something to do with the original authors moving to another company?
AJM.
2.2 constantly crashed for minimal speeed gain. I’ll take the stable one anytime. Uninstalled 2.2 and welcomed back 2.1
Constand cashing… I’m just filling up my memorycards at the moment, instead of downloading the pictures to my comp, as lr works so damn bad
just to add…I also had to back off of LR2.2 to 2.1. Didn’t notice much improvement in speed. Stability was degraded, couldn’t go more than a couple of hours without a freeze. The main item was exporting raws. Could not get thru more than 100 without a lockup. Tryed 3 times.
Being a wedding shooter and processing several hundred at a time, this took down.
