I miss my 03 CL-S :(
"files exported at less than 1/3 of their original size"
So for a 7D a third of a full size image is 1728x1152. Doesn't affect me, but still it's a bad bug.

hmm...I was just getting ready to upgrade. Maybe I'll wait for a while longer.

As I feared the catalogs are not backwards compatible.
BUT if I import at larger than 1/3 size everything is OK. And I can resize from there.
Sure hope adobe gets a fix soon.

Yeah if it's a big deal you can always just export full-size and do a batch processing job in Photoshop to resize. But I'm sure if you do this for a living, that extra time is money!

not sure you can do this on Mac, but nice thing about PC (and what I've always done in the past) - you can have multiple versions of LR (3,4, etc) installed and they can co-exist peacefully. So anytime an upgrade came out, I'd install it but keep the old version around as long as I felt needed.

Yes, I still have 4 on mine as well. But once you upgrade a catalog you can not load it into an older version.
So all the work I had done at that point in 5 by the time I read this thread (about 4.5 hours billed) would have had to have been completely redone...and I wasn't putting in another 4.5 hours of work free.
But exporting at full res dng, tiff, whatever, re-importing and then resizing for export works as a solution in the interim.
When I finish this project since its for a paying client, I won't use 5 again, until an update is released.

cool - or you could also export to whatever that threshold is where it still works -

Most of these photos are at iso 3200-5000, they wanted NO additional lights/flashes, so thats what they got...and not everything looks optimal in wide shots in a dark theater setting at full size as far as noise and fine detail sharpness goes.

Lightroom 5.2 is now available as a Release Candidate on Adobe Labs. The ‘release candidate’ label indicates that this update is well tested but would benefit from additional community testing before it is distributed automatically to all of our customers. The final release of Lightroom 5.2 may have additional corrections or camera support.
Bugs Corrected in Lightroom 5.2 Release Candidate
The following bugs that were part the Lightroom 5 have been corrected. The team appreciates the very detailed feedback the community has provided on Lightroom 5 and we’re excited to correct a number of issues experienced by our customers. These issues have been FIXED:
Catalog containing images processed with PV2003 were adding a post-crop vignette when catalog upgraded to Lightroom 5.
Pressing the “Reset” button while holding down the Shift key caused Lightroom to exit abruptly.
Output Sharpening and Noise Reduction were not applied to exported images that were resized to less than 1/3 of the original image size.
Incorrect photo was selected when trying to select a photo in segmented grid in Publish Services.
The Esc key did not exit the slideshow after right clicking screen with mouse during slideshow playing.
Import dialog remained blank for folders that contain PNG files with XMP sidecars.

For 10 buck a months, not a bad deal. And they opened it up to those that have never own ANY version of Photoshop...
Problem with most that I've talk to, they think you have to be connect to internet to use.

I called Adobe when I first started my PS subscription (last year?) and they confirmed that you don't need to be connected to the internet all the time, just once a month. If that's really a concern, they should just call Adobe.

Yes, just once a month, but I've heard that you can call them and get that push even longer to like 90 or 120 days.

But smart previews still say up memory on a large catalog...And it can really be a pain in the ass unless you have a network set up like you mention...which I don't really have the money, space, or energy to deal with.

I don't have direct experience with using a network share, however my current setup is catalog on an SSD and RAW files on a HDD, but I think you could take a look at using the Smart Previews then you could have your RAW files anywhere...

As far as performance... In LR there is a delay when rendering the 1:1 preview of a file on the network of about 4-5 seconds. Presumably, this is mostly due to the file being loaded onto my MBP's RAM from the NAS. Once that is done, there is no additional delay on edits/actions taken on the photos. Under "Folders" you click on the directory with the photo you want, the Thumbnails are all there (even if the share isn't connected). It only goes to the network once you do a 1:1 preview, or go to the Develop module.
In terms of moving files to the NAS, it takes about 1-1.5 seconds to transfer each RAW file and associated XML file from the SSD to the NAS over wifi (RAW files coming from a 7D, and formerly a 50D) through LR so it keeps a handle on where things are.
That's been my experience. The time to load a file from the network greatly increased for me between LR4 and LR5. YMMV.

Adobe has announced Lightroom and Photoshop CC for 10 bucks a month.
As much as I hate the cloud thing with these apps...this is pretty freaking tempting with the new mobile integration.

Paying $10/mo for PS and LR, is a steal IMHO.
The way I look at it, LR alone was approx $120 for the upgrade IIRC, I just don't remember their release schedule and if it was annual or not. If it was annual, $10/mo is still a steal since you also get PS.

But the all new LR and photoshop apps intrigue me.
I will have to think and research more on this.

I'm not a fan of subscription services and I had already 'obtained' PS CS5, so even when they announced the $9.99/mo special a little while ago I wasn't that interested. But after using lightroom mobile on my iPad with a 30 day CC trial and when they released LR mobile for iPhone with auto upload from your camera roll I couldn't resist.
The LR Mobile apps are really slick and create a really cool workflow without all the workarounds I was doing before.

Please check in with your findings David. I don't have the first effing clue about any of this. I'd be interested to see your take on it all.

With my math 10 bucks a month equals 120 bucks a year. Why wouldn`t you just get the upgrade for LR for 80 bucks. Photoshop is nice to have but LR generally gets used just as much if not more than PS.
