Adobe Lightroom 4 Now Available! Price $149.00 - Upgrade 79.00 (from LR3)

[Carny]

Is $149 and introductory price, or is that where it will stay?

Blah! Of course they'd add support for the Tokina 12-24mm just after I sold it off for a new ultrawide! At least now there's a profile for the Tokina 100mm macro (which didn't really need one as much as the Tokina at 12mm...)

It will stay $149

I'm waiting a few days to see if I can get a free upgrade, my cheap LR3 arrived 4 days ago and is unopened.  They often give free upgrades to recent buyers.  I have 30 days to return it, so I'll wait and see.

I did chat with the online rep, but he had no free upgrade info as of yet.

If you're a student in UK, you can get really cheap Adobe Product such as at http://www.adobe.software4students.co.uk/AdobeUK.aspx?ID=16

but not sure if the LR4 gona be included for the student price really soon....So ask your relative or friends who are currently studying in Uni for a better price for other Adobe products. Please check if you're eligible or not before making any purchase tho..

The student edition will be 79 bucks:

Any differences in functionality between the Student license and the full version?

Can't confirm 100% but usually it's the same functionality...

My CS5 ACR was upped last time i logged in...

Really? Updated to what?

It said, update to Adobe ACR required, I said ok and went for a coffee...

Bought the upgrade today. Love the new features (tried them in Beta). The video is great, when it works, but clearly still stuffed full of bugs. Looking forward to the 4.1 release, when hopefully it will work for more than 20 seconds without crashing... Apart from video, everything seems pretty stable, having said that. Haven't managed to figure out the reverse geocoding yet... maybe tomorrow, if I can figure out how it works. Maybe it does it on import of new photos, not on upgraded catalogs. Hmmm...

Haha okay, point taken. But you haven't gained any extra functionality in ACR, to your knowledge?

I give you an applaud for your sense of humor 

Honestly... nothing stood out for me. I wonder what they changed, if you know what changed, I can go home and double check it plus the version etc.

Yes, the versions are the same.  There is no difference.

For information, I purchased LR3 middle of februari - called Adobe customer service (Netherlands), talked to a very friendly representative and explained I wasn't thrilled that the software I bought around 2 weeks ago was already outdated - he said it's no problem and they would provide a free upgrade to LR4 ( he said it still has to be approved by a higher level though, but I guess that's a formality ). Great Customer service!

Just ordered lr4 , for anyone thats used it - does nik silver efex pro 2 plug-in work with it? I was looking to also order that software as well.

Thanks!
