In the next version of Lightroom could they implement a better spellcheck? The spellcheck currently in Lightroom3 does not work as well as spellcheck seen in Photo Mechanic or the basic spellcheck used on a Mac.Also could they make the caption box larger or the ability to increase the size. The current caption box is to small and makes it hard to see what is being typed?In a nut shell could they make the next Lightroom more like Photo Mechanic in terms of captioning and adding metadata ?

Hi Victoria I should have been more precise in what I meant for larger caption box.

What I really was asking for is to be able to enlarge the font size, something along the lines of the metadata box in Photoshop or Photo Mechanic. For me the font size or caption box is to small for me to read sometimes.

I was thinking maby they could implement a zoom mode for caption box or any other metadata boxes.

But definitely a better spell check...I've tested the spell check in Lightroom and it has let things go by that it should have caught.

One thing that may help a little for the caption box, is enlarging the right hand panel to its full width, if you haven't already done so, as that will make the caption box wider.

Out of interest, how long are the captions you generally type? How much bigger would you need the caption field to be?
