Along with the new Lightroom™ 2.0, Adobe has launched a new and very useful Community Help site. Now you are able to search Adobe content as well as other great content from around the web!

You can ask questions, make comments, help your fellow Lightroom users, and get the help you need! The site is moderated by Adobe personnel and other outside Pro Contributors (including yours truly!) so you can expect that someone will answer your question or direct you to the proper site for help.

Lightroom 2.0 is finally here!

I'm sure you've seen it around the blogosphere already (it was all over the place by the time I got to work this morning), but here it is again: Adobe has teamed up with Google and Yahoo! to make the Flash file format (swf) more search engine friendly.

Now, rather than requoting what other people have written, here are a couple of links:

In a previous post I wrote about the Rule of Thirds as a way to compose your images. When you crop your photos in Lightroom you are conveniently provided with an overlay for the Rule of Thirds.

Hey guys. I've been really busy for a while with raising my two beautiful children, changing jobs, moving into a new house, etc, etc, etc. As a result it's been a while since I've posted here (or on my own blog), but I'm making an effort to get back to the Flash and Flex communities now that things are "settling down" a little.

Need help with something FLEX related? Try out the Beta version of Adobe's new community help site. It pulls info from everywhere including the Blog-o-sphere.

Ok, so I am working on a project for a client that wants a QuickTime movie. I open up my render options and half of my QuickTime codecs are gone.  What how can this be?!!! Just a few weeks ago everything was there, I haven't installed anything...oh wait...I did upgrade Quicktime.

I called Apple and spoke to some guy that blamed Adobe for not being up to date, and spent over an hour and a half problem solving with ultimately no solution.

There hasn't been too much going on in the world of Flex since the release of version 3. However, application development is moving at a raging pace right now and if you are trying to see what kinds of apps are being developed in Flex, be sure to check out the Flex Showcase.

I've been pulling my hair out lately over the fact that IE7 refuses to acknowledge that I already "have the latest Flash Player installed". Firefox 2 plays nice - but sites with Flash content in IE - nothing but blank content and annoying prompts to download a Flash player I already have.

...and everything's been great ever since.

Hope this helps out.

After releasing the 1.4 update to Lightroom it was discovered that there were quite a few problems. Adobe subsequently pulled the update. Now those issues have been resolved and Lightroom 1.4.1 is ready for you to download.
The three major fixes from the last update include:
