No more testing. This update to Lightroom is now the commercial release. I don’t normally want my workflow interrupted by beta or pre release testing so I wait. However, the time is now since the releases are out of the final testing phases.
I do own a Canon Powershot S95 (more about that later) as my pocket camera and I’m happy to see this release because the S95 does shoot RAW. If you happen to be the proud owner of the newer Nikon D7000 or D3100, this will make you happy. Of course, there’s also support for other non-Nikon newer bodies.

Photoshop CS5 also gets some significant fixes. I’m keenly interested in the security vulnerabilities patch and hoping this will fix my font crashes in PSCS5. They were very annoying.

How do I know what installed versions I have?
If you’re puzzled about which versions you have, it’s simple. Go to Photoshop’s Help menu>Updates after you’ve launched it and check off what you want to download and install. This actually launches Adobe Download Manager to update to the latest installed versions. On a Mac, you will need to authenticate permission to do this with your password. It will ask you to quit Photoshop and you can watch the progress of the installer through the Adobe Application Manager.
In Lightroom, launch and go to Help (far right menu) and “Check for Updates” If you click “Download” you’ll go directly to Adobe’s page to download.
Next you might be asking yourself if Lightroom does its conversions of RAW files by using the Camera RAW plug in. It does not and while the processes use the same pipeline, it’s built into Lightroom updates for their Develop module function so I would update Lightroom on its own.
