06.11.10  |  Lightroom to Director Plugin updated for Lightroom 3

The Lightroom to Director Plugin, which allows you to upload images directly from Lightroom to your Director install, has been updated to 1.0.5. This version resolves an issue with the recently released Lightroom 3, where uploads would fail because of a deprecated method call. Upgrading to 1.0.5 should fix that issue. You can download the latest version of the plugin from the account center.

If you have not had a chance to upgrade to Lightroom 3, it is available for purchase from Adobe.

05.25.10  |  SlideShowPro for Lightroom updated with LR3 support

We’ve updated the current version of SlideShowPro for Lightroom (1.4.9.4) with a new plugin that offers Lightroom 3 support. This version of the plugin includes support for Lightroom 3′s new and improved watermark publishing, and also allows you to play/pause slideshows in the work area (you don’t have to pause slideshows before exporting, like in Lightroom 1 and 2).

Note: Lightroom 3 is currently available only as a public beta. Unless you are comfortable installing and using beta software, we don’t recommend downloading Lightroom 3 just to use this version of SlideShowPro for Lightroom. We recommend waiting for the final release of Lightroom 3 (which should be in the not-so-distant future) to avoid issues. If however you already have the public beta, or like living on the edge, have at it.

Registered users of SlideShowPro for Lightroom can download the plugin update from the account center.

08.27.09  |  New “corporate” licensing options

This isn’t exactly news for existing users, but news nonetheless. Historically, our desktop products — including SlideShowPro for Flash, SlideShowPro for Lightroom and SlideShowPro ThumbGrid — have been sold as “single user” products where the licensee is the user. Based on feedback from our corporate customers, we’re now offering “Corporate” licenses for all of the above products. With these licenses, the licensee is the business entity, and allows licensees to manage themselves which employees receive and use products that are purchased. For more information, see our licensing page or contact us.

08.24.09  |  SlideShowPro for Lightroom 1.4.8 released

A new point update for SlideShowPro for Lightroom is now available in the account center. This release, version 1.4.8, updates the Lightroom gallery to the latest version of the Flash component (1.9.7), in addition to a new “Popup/Type” parameter. This parameter brings back the ability to popup a larger version of a clicked slideshow image in a separate browser window. By selecting “Image”, just the image is loaded, as opposed to “SWF” which loads larger images inside of a SWF (along with a loading animation, text, captions, etc). Special thanks to our Lightroom support specialist Tim for coming up with this idea based on user feedback.

This update is free for all SlideShowPro for Lightroom users. Please refer to the updating instructions if necessary. If you’d like to read more about what’s in this update, see the version history.

The 1.4.6 version of SlideShowPro for Lightroom is now available for download in the account center. This release includes the new pan and zoom functionality we talked about last week.

Also updated is a small change to how the gallery title and description in the Header element is populated. The values are now read from the gallery element in images.xml instead of param.xml. This allows gallery titles and descriptions from SlideShowPro Director to appear as expected.
