So it imports very fast, then can't display anything.

I have both on the same machine at work, and the processing results between 2.6 and 3b2 are different. I'm not sure which I prefer, or which is more accurate to the scene.

If I use the same "Lightroom_3 beta SpGa" keywords, mine would appear in your link except you used "name=drg" as part of the search.

Do you want to widen it to use my contributions if I use the same keywords?
All fixed for additions. I would like to try to keep additions to those that show variations on particular new features such as Watermarking examples, Noise Reduction of High, Higher, and Ridiculous ISO Noise Reduction, tonal curve tricks and toys.

I've noticed that if I'm trying to do too much on the machine it, LR3B2 slows down, and I get memory problems reported by Windows. Some sort of failure to release memory correctly I'd wager. Even on a multi-core 4Gb XP Pro machine. A moment or two of thumb twiddling and closing a window or two and all returns to normal. I think. But it is a beta, so it is still worth a report.

On Windows 7 I couldn't get the tethered shooting to work with either a Canon 1Ds Mark II or a Nikon D3 I borrowed for the attempt. I knew the Canon probably wouldn't work according to the release notes in 64-bit mode (I hope they fix this or I'll definitely need to spend more money later this year). I did get a Rebel to work.



Those who want to add an image feel free to do so, just please add a brief note about what it demonstrates about the LR3 beta release.

We'll create a separate gallery for the 'real thing' later this year with the official Lightroom 3 release and review.

To Add images to the LR3 Beta Release 2 'Special Gallery:

Add these three keywords to your image

Lightroom_3
beta
SpGa

It will then appear when the Special Gallery link is activated.
