Camera Raw 4.5 Update & Lightroom 2

Along with the release of Lightroom 2 this week, there is also a free update to the Camera Raw plug-in, version 4.5. If you are upgrading to Lightroom 2 you should also update Camera Raw for any other programs that use that technology. This includes Photoshop CS3, Photoshop Elements 6 (Mac & Win) and Premiere Elements 4.0 for Windows. This is the first step to ensure that any edits you make to images in Lightroom 2 will be visible in those other applications. There is also one other thing to do, which I'll cover below.

Here's a link to the Mac version of Camera Raw 4.5
And here's a link to the Windows version of Camera Raw 4.5

Making Lightroom edits Visible in Camera Raw 4.5

Any edits you make to images in Lightroom are stored in the Lightroom database and will not be immediately visible to Camera Raw. In order to share these edits so that Camera Raw sees them, you have to save them to an XMP sidecar file that is stored in the same folder as the images, or directly to the DNG file if you are using that format for your raw files (this is the case no matter what version of Lightroom you are using). Fortunately this is a very quick and easy step of using the keyboard shortcut of Command-S on Mac or Control-S on PC (the menu path for this is found in the Library module and is Metadata > Save Metadata to File).
