Bugs Corrected in the Lightroom 3.2 Release Candidate

The following bugs that were released as part of Lightroom 3.0 have been corrected. The team appreciates the very detailed feedback the community has provided on the Lightroom 3.0 release and we’re excited to correct a number of issues experienced by our customers. These issues have been FIXED

* Develop: A custom aspect ratios get rounded to nearest standard ratio when adjusting crop overlay
* Develop: A history state is incorrectly added after creating a preset that includes a graduated filter or lens profile correction

* Develop: Lens profile corrections were synced even when they were not selected in the sync dialog.
* Develop: The escape key incorrectly applies a crop after a CTRL/CMD right arrow with the crop tool enabled
* Develop: The local adjustment brush could have a very slow first stroke when exposure is the selected adjustment
* Develop: The Live Loupe view on a second monitor could become unresponsive when switching images in the Develop module
* General: Certain menu items were missing from the Windows version of Lightroom
* Help Documentation: Inaccuracies and translation errors were corrected throughout the help documentation
* Import: Copy as DNG selection not remembered for subsequent imports
* Import: For some devices the import dialog did not allow directory browsing
* Import: Import image number sequence is not incrementing properly
* Import: Panels in the import window fail to scroll via the mouse wheel in some multiple monitor configurations
* Import: The EXIF renaming token was not available
* Import: Windows could crash when attempting to import video files
* Library: Sub-optimal preview rendering performance could impact application performance

* Library: Cancelling a catalog export process could require an excessive wait time

* Library: Ratings and Labels were not propogated to a TIFF or PSD file created for an Edit in External Application workflow

Camera Raw 6.2 Release Notes

* Scroll bar arrow performance has been improved
* Please provide feedback on your experience with the Camera Raw 6.2 plug-in and the DNG Converter on the Camera Raw User to User forum.

You may ask what happened to Lightroom 3.1? Well, it never happened. In order to simplify the presentation of updates for raw file format compatibility, the Lightroom and Camera Raw “dot” version numbers have been aligned at “2″. We update the Camera Raw plug-in and Lightroom regularly to provide access to new proprietary raw file formats and have aligned the decimal place so that there’s no confusion over which Lightroom update corresponds to a Camera Raw plug-in update and vice versa.

The final releases of Lightroom 3.2 and Camera Raw 6.2 may have additional corrections or camera support.
