Lightroom 1.4 Update Released (Recalled)

Update Recalled

Adobe has removed this update because of several bugs discovered after the release. Adobe suggests removing Lightroom version 1.4 and reinstalling version 1.3.1 until such time as the fixes are published.

Adobe's Lightroom Journal has all the details for the problems with this update as well as instructions on getting back to version 1.3.1.

Visit Visit the download page to obtain the full install for version 1.3.1 (win mac).

Uninstall Instructions

If you still have your 1.3.1 update which contains the entire program, then do the following to uninstall Lightroom 1.4 based on your operating system:

Mac: Delete the Lightroom application in the Application folder(Mac) and Delete the following file: Library/Receipts/Adobe Photoshop Lightroom.pkg

Windows: Choose the Uninstall Lightroom 1.4 menu item from the Windows start menu. The Add/Remove Program utility on Windows will also achieve the same result.

After I perform the uninstall and reinstall (windows), I'll let you know if there are any lost presets or problems. I would recommend a backup of all your user settings and your catalog prior to any updates or changes to your program.
