First impressions are it gives much finer control and less range, almost like they've ditched half the slider and just expanded the first 50%. Curves now has RGB plus individual channels - this is a biggie I think.
I never really understood why the local adjustment brush didn't contain almost all of the sliders, it'd certainly negate the need to export into PS all the time.
Having not had to transfer a LR catalog between 2 and 3, is it ok to use 3 and 4 beta on the same one?
Probably for the same reason it doesn't feature the moon on a stick. Rome wasn't built in a day etc...

Seriously - Adobe have the moon on a stick but won't sell it to us? Well not yet? Was the twin towers the CIA?
I'd pretty much stopped using the recovery tool as it compresses/ destroys all the tonality in the highlights
And a shit photo is still a shit photo.
In LR, I reach for the recovery slider but oh no, I touch that and I start getting unwanted detail back in the sky
I'm sure many ex-darkroom B+W workers would love localised split toning too.
LR this Adobe that, pssshoooo! If I’ve said it once I’ve said it a thousand times you guys want to upgrade to the Canon G005.E. Doesn’t matter what you do it ALWAYS comes out pixel perfect, no need for post-processing EVER. Who needs the moon ON a stick when you have the moon IN a stick? Think on suckers!
It's very important to understand that for many of the Basic panel tools, the internal effects ranges have been changed, meaning that a slider value of say +50 in a PV 2010 tool may not correspond to +50 in the equivalent PV2012 tool. When updating PV2010 (or earlier) images which already contain manual Basic panel adjustments, slider values will be carried over or 'transposed' to the appropriate PV2012 settings. But the appearence of your image will change, often significantly. For this reason, I encourage you to apply PV2012 on an image by image basis to your existing photos to get a feel for what the new tools can do. Or simply import new images, which will automatically get the newest process version, and explore the new features with those images.source: http://www.dpreview.com/articles/7481161037/lightroom-4-public-beta-whats-new
Have you thought about buying a better camera P-Ben?
HAHAHAhahahah. Peak Imaging's 'profile' is just the standard sRGB profile. IE a fucking joke.
bpd photech in warrington,
inframe for printing. Can you make any adjustments whilst you're there?
There is a free Lightroom 4 Fundamentals webcast over 3 days from Thursday at Creativelive.Their courses are normally very good quality for those that haven't seen them before.The course will start at 5pm UK time, and normally finish around midnight. It will then be replayed a few times until the next day's live show begins.
