Lightroom 2.1 Release Candidate Available
September 29th, 2008 | Author: albert
The Adobe® Photoshop® Lightroom 2.1 release candidate is now available on Adobe Labs. The ‘release candidate’ label indicates that this update is well tested but would benefit from additional community testing before it is distributed automatically to all of Adobe’s customers.
The Lightroom team would like the community to help verify the quality of this update through normal usage as this will ensure that the application is tested on a diversity of hardware and software configurations not available internally at Adobe.
The release candidate is readily downloadable, but obviously only works if you have a valid V2 license key. By default, this Lightroom 2.1 release candidate will remove or overwrite your existing Lightroom 2.0 installation so caution is called for.
If you wish to return to Lightroom 2.0 after installing Lightroom 2.1, simply reinstall Lightroom 2.0 from your original download file or from the CD after performing the following:
- Mac: Delete this file before reinstalling Lightroom 2.0: Library/Receipts/Adobe Photoshop Lightroom.pkg.
- Windows: Uninstall Lightroom 2.1 using the Windows add/remove program utility.
Both versions of the application share the same catalog format allowing your catalogs to be opened by either version without complications.

What’s New?
Support was added for some new cameras, notably the Fuji Finepix IS Pro, Nikon D700, Nikon D90 and the Nikon Coolpix P6000.
For the rest, the release mainly dealt with addressing some stability issues and performance bugs. The “Edit in Photoshop” bug was addressed too. For a full list, see the Adobe page found by following the link above.
