Here’s a little late breaking news for you Lightroom users, Adobe has released version 1.3 for download. The update includes these new enhancements:

• Additional camera support for the Canon 1Ds Mark III, Nikon D3, Nikon D300, Olympus E-3, and more
• Updated Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard support

Mac users can download their update here.

Windows users can download their update here.

I haven’t made the Leopard leap yet but I am assuming that this update will fix the printing problems that Lightroom had in Leopard. Additionally, there were releases for Photoshop, Bridge, and Camera Raw. Here is the low-down as taken from John Nack’s Blog:

Photoshop 10.0.1 update addresses the key pain points experienced by users printing from CS3, particularly on Windows. I’ve posted a separate note that goes into more detail on the topic. The update also includes better support for preserving XMP metadata (including copyright) via Save For Web, through the inclusion of a new “Include XMP” option in the dialog’s settings menu. The Photoshop update does not address a problem with changing the values for various tools on Mac OS X Leopard, but Apple and Adobe are working together on a separate fix (details).

With Bridge 2.1.1, a new preference to enable High Quality Preview has been added to Bridge’s Preferences->Advanced panel. When enabled, the preference addresses the problem of a soft or blurry preview appearing in the Preview panel and in Slideshow mode. The Bridge update also remedies other problems reported by users, including a problem that could cause Bridge to lock up when using arrow keys to navigate.

Lightroom 1.3 improves compatibility with Mac OS X Leopard, fixes some bugs, and adds an option to render 1:1 previews during import. New cameras supported in Lightroom, Camera Raw, and the DNG Converter include the following: Canon EOS 1Ds Mark III, Canon PowerShot G9, Nikon D3, Nikon D300, Olympus E-3, Olympus SP-560 UZ, and Panasonic DMC-L10. The applications also now support the sRAW format produced by the Canon 1D Mk III, 1Ds Mk III, and 40D.

There’s also a preview Lightroom Export SDK available for developers on Adobe Labs. If that sounds interesting, check out what Lightroom PM Tom Hogarty has to say on the Lightroom Journal.
