I have recently upgraded to Adobe Lightroom 2.2 as my primary software for keeping track of and doing quick adjustments to my pictures.  Recently I shot a studio session where I used 14 bit RAW files with maximum quality saved with lossless compression by the camera. The files comes out on the north side of 15 MB each which is a lot but I have equipped my computer with 4 GB of RAM and it should not be a problem to handle it.

But it is, particularly when doing the following things:

• Exporting a large number of large pictures.
• Working with the adjustment brush extensively.

There are other people who have experienced similar problems I am considering downgrading to 2.1 until they have fixed this problem. I just hope the library files are compatible back to 2.1… don’t want to lose all the adjustments and settings.

There are discussions about this on the Lightroom forum.

Finally it is fixed, not as nicely as I would have liked it but here it is. Under the comment box there is a link you may click to add a new image. Then just enter the URL to the image itself and it should work. Do not enter the URL to the Flickr page the image is displayed on, your URL should end in a ”.jpg” ending. When you see an image you want to post the link to, right-click and then select ”copy link location” or similar, that’s the URL you should enter here.

Hope that makes life easier for commenting on the photo challenges!

Have fun!
