Lightroom 4.1 is now available as a final release on Adobe.com and through the update mechanism in Lightroom 4. The goal of this release is to provide additional camera raw support, lens profile support and address bugs that were introduced in previous releases of Lightroom. In addition, Lightroom 4.1 introduces the following new features:
- The ability to process HDR TIFF files. (16, 24 or 32-bit TIFF files) This can be useful if you have merged multiple exposures into a single 32-bit image using Photoshop’s HDR Pro. Using the new basic panel controls can be a very effective and straightforward method of achieving an overall balance across the tonal range.
- Additional Color Fringing corrections to help address chromatic aberration. Click here to learn more
- Save photobooks created in the Book Module as JPEG files
- Publishing photos to Adobe Revel is now accessible via a Publish plugin
Bugs Corrected in Lightroom 4.1
The following bugs that were part the Lightroom 4 releases have been corrected. The team appreciates the very detailed feedback the community has provided on Lightroom 4 and we’re excited to correct a number of issues experienced by our customers. These issues have been FIXED:
- Point Curve adjustments made in Lightroom 3 have been restored.
- Edit-in functionality has been restored to external applications including Adobe Photoshop and Nik plugins
- Addressed performance issues in Lightroom 4, particularly when loading GPS track logs, using a secondary monitor, and the controls within the Develop module.
- Ability to update DNG previews and metadata for more than 100 photos has been restored.
- This update allows for improved viewing of subfolders and stacks in folders with a large number of photos.
- It was possible that a layout of a saved book could be lost after quitting Lightroom 4.
- Adjustments made in the Develop module were not properly being reflected to photos that have been laid out in the Book Module
- Postscript Type 1 Fonts do not appear in the Font menu within the Book module.
- Clarity adds grey tinting to 100% white tones.
Known Issues in Lightroom 4.1:
- Double byte fonts such as those found in Chinese and Japanese characters are not being exported to PDF or when published to Blurb.
- The Revel Publish Service will delete photos from a carousel. This occurs when the customer asks Lightroom to delete the carousel and then cancels out of the confirmation dialogue box.

Camera Raw 7.1 Release Notes
These items have been FIXED in Camera Raw 7.1:
- Keyboard shortcuts for the point curve channel on Windows were not functional.
- Local corrections are not refreshing after applying lens corrections. This occurs on both TIFF and JPEG files with noise reduction disabled.
- Point curve adjustments made to a single R,G, or B channels in the Tone Curve tab can be reset a channel curve is adjusted.
- Photoshop and Bridge show different values for the image resolution in certain images. Photoshop and Bridge are not changing the image resolution, but displaying different values.
- Applying keywords to multiple files can sometimes cause errors when writing the keyword metadata to file. This can occur when the “Save Image Settings in” preference within Camera Raw is set to the Camera Raw database.
Hi Terry,
let me bother you with a question that you’re not really the one to answer (you’re not the Adobe Tech support) but you probably heard this one a lot already.
I’m still on PS CS5. Is it possible to upgrade form ACR 6.x to ACR 7.x? Or this one will only work on PS CS6?
Actually this comes from the fact that I upgraded my Lightroom and now it always complains about the ACR version.
Thanks in advance!
Cris, Camera RAW major versions (ie. 5.0, 6.0, 7.0 etc.) are tied to a specific version of Photoshop. Version 7.x of Camera RAW is for Photoshop CS6.
Thanks a lot Terry!
I upgraded to LR 4.1 which brings Raw Camera Raw 7.1 support for my Fujifilm X-PRO1. I used DNG Converter 7.1 to bring Raw-file support for the CS5 version of PS. The raw-files coming from X-Pro 1 can be converted to DNG and their thumbnail views show up in Adobe Bridge CS5. Also they can be opened in Camera Raw CS5 and adjustments made. There is a problem though. Looking at the image at 100% or more, DNG Converter 7.1 puts a grey dotted overlay over the entire image area. Maybe it is related to the specific X-Pro1 raw files, because I converted some Canon CR2-files to DNG and they look just fine. Anyone else encountered this issue?
What about the Nikon D3200…
What about the D3200
I am trying to download the DNG 7.1 converter. It downloads, but won’t install. I get this error:
Error opening file for writing
c:\programfiles(x86)\adobe DNG Converter.exe
What’s wrong?
I have no idea. Give Adobe Customer care a shout. Twitter @adobe_care
Terry,
Is there a Lightroom 4 lens profile available for the Sigma 24-70mm f2.8 EX DG? If not, can you make one or recommend the engineers make one.
Thanks in advance,
Brett Gilmour
@Pam,
I had tone of download issues with Lightroom 4, Photoshop CS5, DNG 7.1 converter, and a few other Adobe softwares. After many, many, many hours of support from the Adobe Phillipines and Adobe India support desks I was told by several support staff that the Adobe AKAMAI servers had bugs they couldn’t figure out and therefore downloads were not working.
They eventually transferred to American support staff who confirmed that the Adobe download servers had known issues and downloads had not been working properly for several months. Adobe eventually mailed me discs to solve the problem.
It was immensely frustrating but eventually Adobe solved the problem with hard discs.
