LIGHTROOM
Lightroom users will have to wait a short time for an update. Adobe claims they will have a free update to Lightroom in mid November. So two weeks isn’t a bad wait at all. But if you are a hard core Lightroom user such as myself you will have to wait to put Leopard on your production machine.
The Lightroom Journal, produced by the Lightroom team has posted the following:
As noted in Adobe’s Leopard FAQ the current version of Lightroom 1.2 is not fully compatible with Leopard, Mac OS X 10.5. The good news is that we’ll be releasing an update in mid-November that will address key compatibility issues. In the interim, the following list describes areas where photographers may encounter problems with Lightroom 1.2 on Leopard:
The Print module may not load
The Import dialog and other dialogs can “disappear” below Lightroom’s main window. The dialog can be retrieved by switching to another application and then returning to Lightroom.
Lightroom’s web module may not provide a visual update after a setting is changed
The left-side panels in the Develop module may not display properly. Resizing or closing/opening the panels will correct the issue.
The interaction between Leopard’s Time Machine and Lightroom’s catalog files is unknown at this time. Running Time Machine backup or restore operations while Lightroom is in use is not recommended until more information can be obtained

Until next time,
