Canon EOS 5D Mark II Canon PowerShot G10 Panasonic DMC-G1 Panasonic DMC-FX150 Panasonic DMC-FZ28 Panasonic DMC-LX3 Leica D-LUX 4
Lightroom 2.2 bug fixes include:Images rendered from the Slideshow export process produced a jagged effect on hard edges relative to the quality of normal JPEG export.
Increased the number of characters allowed in web gallery labels beyond 150 characters.
Catalogues with hundreds of root (top level) folders caused very slow launch times.
Drag and drop to move a subfolder to a different folder showed the incorrect photos in the grid.
Print Sharpening produced edge artifacts in certain conditions.
Density defaulted to 100 per cent for initial stroke regardless of position of slider.
The Adjustment brush created blocky, straight edges to brush strokes under certain conditions.
Lightroom could become unresponsive when using the graduated filter under certain conditions.
It was possible to lose the ability to edit an adjustment brush setting after applying a graduated filter with hidden pins.
Turning auto-mask on produced a lag in Lightroom performance in when applying the adjustment brush.
Print to JPEG functionality produced a low resolution image when printing photos with panorama aspect ratios.
Extended characters in a folder name caused Edit in Photoshop functionality to fail.
Smart collection did not respond to changes in custom metadata.
Enabling auto-mask produced a lag in performance in when applying the local adjustment brush.
Additionally camera profiles are now available in the Calibration panel in the Develop module. These profiles are designed to provide different interpretations of raw capture.
