Step Three:
In the middle of the Update Process Version
dialog, there's a Review Changes via Before/
After checkbox. With this turned on, it auto-
matically gives you a before/after look at
how the update to the Process Version 2010
looks. This is helpful because if for whatever
reason you don't like the result, you can just
press
Command-Z (PC: Ctrl-Z)
to undo
the update at this point. Here's the before
and after for the photo I'm working with,
and although the change looks fairly minor,
I like the richer look of the color in the After
photo. The tones look warmer to me, but
again, it's fairly minor (and I'm not sure how
much of that will even be visible when this
is actually printed using a printing press
to create this page in the topic). I can tell
you this: I haven't had a single image that
resulted in a very dramatic change when up-
dating to the new Process Version 2010, and
in many cases, I couldn't see a change at all.
Step Four:
If you decide to wait and make your Process
Version decision later, you can always just
update your photo by going under the
Settings menu and choosing
Update to
Current Process (2010)
, as shown here.
There's also a Process submenu, found
right below, where you can choose which
process you want—2003 or 2010.
TIP: Collections Panel in Develop
Lightroom 3 is the first version to have
the Collections panel available within the
Develop module. This keeps you from
having to jump back and forth between
the Develop module and the Library mod-
ule when you want to work on a different
collection, and this now makes the Collec-
tions panel available in every module. Now,
I haven't had a big effect on how Lightroom
has been developed over the years, but
this is one I finally convinced Adobe to
add, and they sent me an email that same
day and told me, “OK, we added it.” They
also told me not to expect that sort of
fast turnaround again. ;-)
