    Re: Lightroom 2.6 Release Candidate

    Thanks for posting this, Carleton. I was on the road yesterday, driving from SLC to the Bay Area so I didn't get a chance to post it myself. I posted a link to this page on our Facebook page today, though.

    It looks like this new release has made a big difference for Canon EOS 7D users. You could do RAW conversions in Lightroom previously, but they seemed a little off. I checked one of the EOS 7D Flickr groups and people are saying that the color is better with 7D conversions now. Maybe noise will be a little more controlled now, too. I will need to install it myself and see.

    The official 2.6 version is released. I postponed the install hoping to hear some feedback first.

    Re: Lightroom 2.6 Release Candidate

    Gary,

    Thanks for noting that the 2.6 version is 'official'.

    For those users running Lightroom on a Mac, this is a bit more important than with a Windows Machine. The issues other than camera compatibility addressed are mostly Mac version related.

    Of course if you have one of the newer cameras now supported, I hope you are working with you new upgraded version Lightroom already!
