    Adobe Lightroom 1.2 and Camera Raw 4.2 Available
    Adobe has released Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 1.2 and of course the updated Camera Raw 4.2.

    Lightroom and Camera Raw Update Downloads:
    Lightroom 1.2: Macintosh | Windows
    Camera Raw 4.2: Macintosh | Windows

    Lightroom 1.2 includes corrections for the following issues:

    • Lightroom 1.1 catalogs with user-specified sort order could not be imported into another catalog

    • Lightroom 1.1 for Windows could at times display gray boxes instead of image thumbnails

    • The preference to write XMP metadata automatically in Lightroom 1.1 could attempt to write metadata indefinitely for offline images causing significant performance problems

    • Images could be dropped from the Quick Collection upon reordering of the source folder

    • Catalogs could not be exported to drives smaller than 250MB

    • The Web Module was not accessible in Lightroom 1.1 on the Macintosh platform when Lightroom was installed on case-sensitive volumes such as the Case Sensitive HFS+ (Journaled) volume

    • Errors occurred exporting to a Linux SMB network volume

    • Scroll position in the grid view was not maintained when changing the view option using the J shortcut key

    • The tokens for image number and image count were not displaying properly in the Slideshow module

    • The metadata panel could display incorrectly on Windows

    • Slideshows on the Macintosh platform did not display properly when a 256MB ATI graphics card was connected to 30" LCD

    • The Lightroom 1.1 Web module export did not position the copyright tag in the same location displayed in the preview

    • The auto-eject functionality on Windows ejected the card reader device in addition to the card

    • Noise reduction adjustment for all cameras with Bayer Pattern sensor: The base point noise reduction applied at the demosaic stage of raw processing has been reduced. The resulting effect is that images with zero luminance noise reduction applied in Lightroom 1.2 will contain more noise than the identical settings in Lightroom 1.1 but less noise than identical settings in Lightroom 1.0.

    • 1:1 previews were not discarded according to the timing set in the Lightroom preferences

    • 1:1 previews are not built for an entire set of images when requested after import


    Camera Raw 4.2 Notes and Corrections:

    • Camera Raw 4.2 does not support the Canon EOS 1D Mark III SRAW format at this time.

    • Lightroom and Camera Raw will be updated together to ensure raw format and settings compatibility

    • Noise reduction adjustment for all cameras with Bayer Pattern sensor: The base point noise reduction applied at the demosaic stage of raw processing has been reduced. The resulting effect is that images with zero luminance noise reduction applied in Camera Raw 4.2 will contain more noise than the identical settings in Camera Raw 4.1 but less noise than identical settings in Camera Raw 4.0. (This Applies to Lightroom 1.2 as well)


    Newly Supported Raw File Formats:

    • Canon EOS 40D

    • Fuji FinePix IS-1

    • Leaf Aptus 17

    • Leaf Aptus 54s

    • Leaf Aptus 75s

    • Olympus EVOLT E-510

    • Pentax K100D Super

    • Phase One P 20 +

    • Phase One P 21 +

    • Phase One P 25 +

    • Phase One P 30 +

    • Phase One P 45 +

    • Sony Alpha 700

    Update to blog restyling
    Here's a small update to the post about blog restyling. I've changed the stylesheets and the .IR code to use the Corbel TrueType font, instead of the Segoe Media Center Light font that nobody knows :-)

    So, if you see plain old Tahoma in the text of this post, you should download the Microsoft Vista & Office 2007 fonts.

    Windows Vista sleep problems, revisited
    As much as I was happy with the major improvement in sleep problems with Vista, I have put my feet back on the ground. After a few good sleep/shutdown/hibernate routines, suddenly it was stuck again.

    After further investigation, I suspect that the LSI controller is also responsible for some of these problems. Contrary to "simple" SATA and IDE/ATA controllers, the LSI SAS and LSI SCSI controllers need much more time to activate all drives.

    When Vista goes to sleep, it signals all processes of the coming event, and gives them only 2 seconds to save whatever they want to save at that point. Furthermore, Vista keeps a second copy of the LSI SAS/SCSI driver in memory, and when the sleep event is announced, that second driver is enabled because it is needed in the startup process. Due to the nature of the SAS/SCSI driver, it has to spin up all drives again before it can put them to sleep.

    So after my post about updating the nVidia drivers, I have now changed my power plan settings to not spin down the harddisks after 20 min. I will keep them running all the time, until Vista decides to put the whole computer to sleep.

    A quick test revealed that the machine goes to sleep without problems using those beta nVidia drivers and all disks running. I'll report later on if the change to the power plan resulted in a (near) perfect solution.

    VS2005 SP1 Update for Vista
    Microsoft has made available the final version of Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1 Update for Vista for download.

    You can read the Release Notes here: Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1 Update for Windows Vista release notes

    More details from the download page:
    Overview
    If the machine participated in the Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1 Update for Windows Vista Beta, please be sure to uninstall the beta first.

    During the development of Windows Vista, several key investments were made to vastly improve overall quality, security, and reliability from previous versions of Windows. While we have made tremendous investments in Windows Vista to ensure backwards compatibility, some of the system enhancements, such as User Account Control, changes to the networking stack, and the new graphics model, make Windows Vista behave differently from previous versions of Windows. These investments impact Visual Studio 2005. The Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1 Update for Windows Vista addresses areas of Visual Studio impacted by Vista enhancements.
    Many of the Windows Vista enhancements are documented at the Windows Vista Development Center.

    Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1 Update for Windows Vista Beta
    Yes, you can download the Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1 Update for Windows Vista Beta if you hate that message box of VS2005 telling you it needs an update that is not yet available to run on Vista. The title of this package is a bit misleading, though. It is not an update for Windows Vista Beta, it's a Beta Update for Windows Vista. In fact, they'd better named it Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1 Update Beta for Windows Vista.
    The final version of this update is expected in Spring 2007 if I remember correctly.
