Adobe just released an update to Lightroom 1.4.

If you haven't upgraded yet, don't.

If you have, you need to uninstall Lightroom 1.4 and go back to 1.3.1.

A couple of very significant bugs have been identified and Adobe has "retracted" the update.

Info on the Adobe web site

Thanks for the info, Nat. Fortunately, I chose not to update as there weren't any new features that I would've benefited from. Buggy updates are becoming so common now (and not just from Adobe) that I usually try to wait a while even if there is some benefit, just in case there are problems.

Does that include ACR 4.4 too or is it just limited to LR 1.4?

Includes ACR 4.4 also. Go back to 4.3.1.

Thanks for keeping on top of this.

I looked at the new features and didn't feel the update was worth the effort.
Sometimes be lazy is good. :biggrin:
