I've been using the updated LR4.1 for several hours today.  It is working fine, no issues for me.

[bleedo]

Fine here as well...generally never have issues with LR but definitely was anxious to get the update for the Mark III ...

[dstppy]

What is the PowerShot S100V, a typo?

Don't see anything about it on their website.

What's the going price on this?

It's a free update to 4.0, but if you are askign about LR in general, it's $100usd

Tiff as 32bit/c, seriously... (nearly) everyone in the VFX or Professional world dealing with HDR on a daily basis is using OpenEXR.
Well, I 'm glad they did not used the 4*8bit/c RGBE or ".hdr" (radiance) format, that would be really horrible.

I might sound not fair here, sorry about that, but when will Adobe arrive in the 32bit/c float age? With that I have in mind that everything, e.g., filters and tools, are able to work with 32bit/c float.

HDRI is certainly one of the most promising options these days. It is in use all over the place, but to work properly with it, 3rd party applications are needed, e.g. PhotomatixPro, which is great and I wonder why Ps or Lr misses out so many of these workflow option.

End of Rant  Sorry about that again, eruptions like that happen to me more an more, using Adobe stuff since 2 decades by now: I'm growing impatient ;o)

Adobe will only get worse, because they've got a rock solid monopoly now - think of their refusal to fix security issues in CS5.5 until the community and press echo made them think otherwise. But it is indeed atypical of them not to buy out or integrate the competition into their product line, I guess Photomatrix is too good at what it's doing that Adobe couldn't follow.

If it works faster than fifty monks working on parchment, I guess I am happy.

Patiently waiting for fourth generation chips so Adobe can cripple my workflow again.

Any sharpness comparisons between 5DIII raws with the new ACR and DPP?  I found the beta versions of ACR weren't giving me the sharpness that I could get with DPP.

and on that note, how are the shadow pulls, or do we still need to go the DPP=>TIFF=>CS route ?

[RyanCrierie]

I have Photoshop CS5 with ACR 6.7, which can read 5D3 RAW files.

What's the big difference between ACR 6.7 and ACR 7.1, other than it only being available with Adobe's CS6 generation products?

[sleepnever]

Applied the update on my Win7 box. No problems so far.

[kmyers1us]

I have been waiting and I want to upgrade from 3.6, but am still weary of performance. Can anyone comment on:
1) performance on a macbook pro compared to 3.6. I use only my laptop screen and no second monitor. Does switching from photo to photo in develop module work as fast as it does in 3.6?
2) library/keyword import problems when upgrading from 3.6
3) any other glitches?

Hey Marsu42,

Thanks for the reply, I felt a little bit bad about my rant, but obviously I'm not alone. In my very own fantasy Adobe has everything ready to go, but release only as much as needed to get us wanted to have the next update.
Well, fantasy, the reality is, I can't really dive into my mood about it, as they really have a monopoly on it, and to stay healthy, "one" has to get comfortable with those things, ...but a little bit barking from time to time is needed )
If I had only a Curve-adjustment-layer in 32bit, I would be so much happier (Hey Adobe, check out The Foundries NUKE! They know how to do stuff like that, and it works!)

Have a good one
