Adobe LR 4 will receive an update this week that includes RAW support for the 5D MkIII

Thanks for the link and the confirmation on 5D III is in the comments. Finally hopefully we can get our pixel peeing out of the way and get back to taking pictures with the new toy.

That's a beautiful shot. Love the details on the feathers

Thats a bit of a suprise, but then, they lowered the cost enough so that the new version is not a big expense, and the DNG converter is free and will work with all versions of photoshop and lightroom.

I do have LR4.

I now have a 2nd copy as well. I took advantage of the $69 B&H deal for LR3 on Feb 15, and got a free upgrade to LR4.

I also took advantage of the B&H deal, but might I ask how you got a free upgrade to LR4? Is it an Adobe deal for those who got LR3 a week before LR4?

LR 4 will be supporting the 5d3 as of an update next week.

This week actually. Wait a day or two and you should be good to go.

Yeah, I cant wait to re-processed all my pictures with the revised LR4 coming out later this week to see the impact on the RAW image...

Nice shot, so you converted that in DPP with the factory settings, not changing them as per many threads? I'm having great success with DPP and my 5D3 too, after a little learning curve.

 

[johankh]

Thanks, yes, factory settings and High Quality mode, it looks fine to me
(Sorry for my poor English )

Ironic thing is, your english is better than many native English speakers online, for example —Youtube.

I've been looking at the Adobe site...I must say, I'm a bit confused as to what all of their products I'd need...?@?!<P>
There's photoshop, photoshop extra stuff....premier...lightroom...after effects....etc.<P>
There seems to be a lot of overlap in them...not sure what all I'd need (I want to do stills and video).<P>
And geez....they're expensive....where's the best place to get these at the best price?
Getting the new 5D and a prime lens is going to tap me for a bit....<P>
I"d posted earlier in this thread about open source software....does anyone here use these? (GIMP, Cinelerra, etc)

TIA,

cayenne

For the free upgrade see this link: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/upgrade-policy-product-announcement.html

I bought Lightroom 3 when it was on sale 2/15/2012. We will see if I qualify for the free upgrade.

Lightroom 4.1 RC is already available from labs.adobe.com and supports the mark 3.

Hmm...I don't have any products that qualify for Adobe upgrades....never owned anything by Adobe before.<P>
Well, to start with, guess I'll have to start with what I have on my mac (iMovie, iPhoto)....and the open source stuff I have on Linux.

Hmm...I have a friend of mine who's kids are starting college soon...maybe I'll get an educational discount purchase through them...




Thanks for all the replies so far.....

I downloaded Camera Raw 6.7 and got it to work with my existing CS5 setup.

I got one weird feature, which is that the Adobe Standard camera profile interpreted blown out areas of high ISO concert photos (stage was lit by a mix of LED lights but the blown out areas were mostly bright whitish, purple and blue) as a shocking super bright blue. It looked like the blue used for the shadow clipping warning.

Saving the photo as a JPEG preserved the blue effect, which was not present in the JPEGs of the same picture made by the camera itself (I shot with separate cards, RAW on one and JPEG on another).

Thus I guessed that it was a bug within the Adobe Standard profile, and I switched the profile to Camera Standard (or Faithful, Portrait or any other profile), which solved the problem.

Here's the photo that resulted. The hair and blown out area on the singers right hand were the areas most affected.

Works fine too. Tried it this week-end and seem to work fine with mkIII files...

Is Lightroom a stand alone product, or is it an add-on for Adobe Photoshop? What is the difference between the two products?

Thanks,

I have read about it at Adobe...and honestly, I can't tell really what it does better or different that Photoshop??

Do you need both? Is LR just a subset of what Photoshop offers?

LOL...right now, I'm trying to see if I can borrow my friend's kids student ID so I can maybe use that to order the CS Production suite..and LR...and just get it all for a reasonable price and be done with research and just play with it all.

$1600 vs $449 sure makes it worth while to try to pursue that student discount route...

Apple just updated their Camera RAW today. Now supports native 5D Mark III files.

SWEET!

I'm thinking now..to start with, I'm going to go with Apeture (only $80)...and with FCPX....since with update, it appears to do most everything needed, and Red Giant is soon to have their plugins ported....and it is only $300.

Took a while, but I was approved for the free upgrade.
