QT: Enable Lightroom 2 to run in 64-bit mode on the Mac!
Most Mac users are probably aware that you can now run Lightroom 2 in 64-bit mode. However important to notice is that you need to do just one thing before you can unlock that goodness. Just find the Lightroom 2 application in your applications folder and select it. Then press Command + I (Get Info) to bring up the info about the app. You should be seeing a checkbox that says "Open in 32-bit mode". Just uncheck that box and you have Lightroom running as a 64-bit application!
Lightroom 2 learning resources
With Lightroom 2 out and about you are obviously just waiting to put your teeth in it and just learn the tips and tricks and the stuff behind using the new features. So where do you go? Well, I’d say you first go right to the Lightroom 2 Learning Center from the guys over at the National Association of Photoshop Professionals. It’s a free great learning center where you’ll learn the most about the new features that you need to know. Definitely go and check that out.
If you are also a member of Kelby Training and subscribe to their online training (if you are not you should be) you should go ahead and watch their two new online classes. Both are by Matt Kloskowki and the first is a three part class, Lightroom 2 In Depth, part 1, 2 and 3. The second class is Lightroom 2 Power Session. All of these classes are great ones and will definitely teach you all you need to know, from start to finish about Lightroom 2.
You can also go and visit the official Lightroom community over at the Adobe site! (Thanks to A.J Wood for the tip!)
In case you are still asking. No I’m not going to do a Lightroom 2 Learning Center for the site here. I am going to do a special podcast episode walking you through the new features (it’s going to be longer than usual because of that) but no special learning center from me this time. Now go and have some fun with LR 2 and enjoy the super program.
Lightroom 2 is released!

Adobe has today announced the immediate availability of Lightroom 2 which is really cool. It’s got a lot of new and cool features and you can read more about it in the full press release. If you want to take a look at all the new features and videos about them, the great people over at NAPP (the National Association of Photoshop Professionals) have launched a Lightroom 2 Learning Center with all the new features (and the cool stuff) covered! I’m going to get some videos up on the new Lightroom features in due course here as well and stay tuned for a post about my favourite features once I’ve gotten to play with it for a while.
