Article Summary:

Adobe has announced the release of a second release candidate for version 4.1 of Lightroom. This includes support for the following cameras: Canon EOS 5D Mark III (introduced with release candidate 1), Canon EOS 60Da, Fuji FinePix F770EXR, Fuji FinePix F775EXR, Nikon D3200, Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF5, Pentax K-01, Samsung NX20, Samsung NX210, Samsung NX1000, Sony Alpha NEX-VG20 and Sony SLT-A57. It also introduces a new Defringe slider in the Lens Correction panel to help address chromatic aberration and the ability to read 16-bit, 24-bit, and 32-bit HDR files. Lastly, there are numerous bug fixes for the Lightroom 4 and 4.1 release/release candidates.

Lightroom 4.1 release candidate 2 is available as a free download for Lightroom 4 owners on Adobe Labs.

After numerous discussions on Lightroom Forums and sending in examples to the software engineers, I am hoping these new Defringe controls work, and earlier processing for CA removal is not automatically affected. If so, it is good to see Adobe respond to the needs of photographers that want to critically control the Raw processing of their images. Cheers, Marli
