I can't see the Subject Distance field in the exif of raw files from both Nikon and Canon cameras. Anybody else has this problem ?

I don't think Lightroom supports "subject distance" natively. There are other missing exif fields too that motivated me to write the ExifMeta plugin, which you can use for free if you want to.

Sorry I should have mentionned that 3.0 that I still have installed side by side with 3.2 does display subject distance for NEF and CR2 files (not for tiffs created from those though). I will try your plugin anyway cause it looks useful

Thanks

A big thank you to the developers. Personally I really appreciate the improved speed of the spot removal tool. (No more stutteriness!) Also thecorrected Flickr publishing order is very much appreciated.

I also want to thank the developers for the release candidate --the flickr publishing is so nice and works great --the whole program works much more quickly.

I'm now seeing 2-3 seconds delays between brush stroke and effect. Haven't seen the 6-8 seconds delays that occasionally haunted the 3.0 version, but response was sub-second when I first started using 3.2RC.

I have noticed that the first stroke tends to have the longest delay (assuming each stroke is started only after the previous stroke has finished), and it seems to be influenced by previous edit stack - e.g. it can be speeded up by making a virtual copy then resetting all adjustments.

So for us newbies at this, with Lightroom...since this 3.2 is a Release Candidate, do I need to download it now, or is it okay to wait until the official Release is available (whenever that will be)? Also, do I also need to download Adobe Camera Raw 6.2 as well to go with it, or is the ACR 6.2 release solely for other products, e.g., can I download it and use it for Photoshop Elements which is currently using ACR 6.1?

Does this RC 3.2 update 3.0 or does it replace it? Regardless, when the actual Release comes along will it update LR3.0 (assuming I don't install the 3.2 Release Candidate) or replace it. Not being someone who is familiar with all this stuff - Release Candidates vs. Releases, etc. it is all a bit confusing at first. When I was using Photoshop Elements I did not have to deal with this sort of stuff, you bought the new version when it came out (there were no upgrades to individual versions), or not, and stayed with the old version, for example, I have tended to buy only the even numbered versions, e.g., PSE4/6/8 and skipped the intermediate odd numbered versions 3/5/7. LIghtroom is obviously different in this respect and I would like to understand how all this works. Any insight that anyone would care to provide will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

You don't need to update so you can wait if you want. You don't need the CR plugin, that's for Photoshop.

err.. uhm.. no, shouldn't have any effect at all. This is just the first update of many for 3.0..

It's not quite the same as "unlocking" your iphone!

Cheers!

This is a 'release candidate' so users are expected to give feedback on it? What is the official channel for doing that?

I'm not Tom Hogarty, nor an Adobe employee, but I'm thinkin' its the same as for Lr3.0 - i.e. this forum and the feature-request/bug-report form.

I'm sure an insider will come along and confirm or deny...

I tried to publish pictures to hdd with watermark. Pictures will be published, but without watermark. Could anyone confirm this behaviour?

I'm using LR 3.2 RC (x64). In all other cases watermarkung is working fine.

I can confirm that the display size issue is still a problem in LR3.2 RC.

I have an image with a number of tweaks and when I apply an adjustment brush stroke to it, depending on the display size the stroke will be very delayed and slow, or relatively fluid. Bringing in the bottom panel (F6) makes all the difference. This is on a 1440x900 screen and using an image in portrait orientation.

LR3.2RC now can show a considerable lag between pressing "K" and the adjustment brush being ready to appear. Is that a trade-off that has been made to make the subsequent brushing quicker or avoid the impression that the brush is ready (cursor showing) but wasn't quite?

BTW, only played perhaps a total of 15min with LR3.2 RC and have a nice message overlayed on the top of my image "An unknown error occurred"... Only went back and forth between images and made test applications with the adjustment brush.

My experience is that the brush will not appear until develop rendering / loading is complete, after which it is immediate.

Just installed this on Windows XP 32bit and I still have the issue where, sometimes, when zooming in to 100% the picture remains blocky.

It happens in both the develop and loupe view which I don;t understand because I thought they used different rendering engines. Or is it just the grid view that uses ACR instead of lightroom?

Arrrghghhh!!!!

And it sometime crashes completely when using the clone tool.

*sigh*

I thought that behaviour was a thing of the 2.x past.

I then have to restart and the folder I was in, panel states etc. are all forgotten. Can't that info be stored on disk so that when it crashes (and it will) they can be restored? Even microsoft word does that sort of thing.

The biggest one appears to have slipped under the radar.... sticky filters are back! If you aren't familiar with them I've written a blog post about them and how to enable them in LR3.2RC:

Will this need to be uninstalled, or will LR3 need to be uninstalled when the non-RC version is released? Does ACR 6.2 work with CS5?

The release notes indicate that the RC will be installed in place of Lightroom 3.0. The release notes say that if you want to go back to Lightroom 3.0 then you can uninstall the RC and reinstall the original Lightroom 3.0. Judging from the way the RC installation worked, when the Lightroom 3.2 final release is available it will automatically overwrite the RC. If that isn't the case then it will be noted otherwise in the release notes.

Lightroom does not use ACR. But everything in Lightroom will match what ACR 6.2 supports. The release notes indicate that Lightroom 3.1 was skipped in order to align Lightroom and ACR as far as the version numbers are concerned.

On a Mac, the RC version installs alongside 3.0 not in place of.

This seems to have addressed a lot of my issues thus far. I'll being putting it to the test over the next week as I attempt to make up for lost time and production. Thanks for the RC version and I'll post my findings.
