Lightroom 1.3

Looks like they went off a bit half cocked on that one....

The download link's busted and eventually takes you to the 1.1 update. No list of changes that I can see either.

The Lightroom 1.3 and Camera Raw 4.3 updates have been posted to the following locations: Lightroom(Mac, Win), Camera Raw(Mac, Win). The updates include support for the following new camera models:

Canon EOS 1Ds Mark III
Canon PowerShot G9
Nikon D3
Nikon D300
Olympus E-3
Olympus SP-560 UZ
Panasonic DMC-L10

Lightroom 1.3 also provides improved support for the OS X 10.5 Leopard operating system.

For me, the most exciting part of this release is that we'll be providing a preview of the Export SDK on Labs.adobe.com. The Export SDK is a glimpse into what's possible with a workflow SDK. (Think direct export from Lightroom to Flickr/Smugmug/FTPHosts/etc) I categorize Lightroom's extensibility into two different SDK opportunities: Workflow and Image Processing. There are expectations around an Image Processing SDK given Photoshop's plug-in history. But Lightroom will focus on a workflow SDK initially to enable better interoperation between Lightroom and other tools or services before providing the ability to add an image processing plug-in like a lens correction plug-in or noise/grain plug-in. The Lightroom Export SDK preview is the Lightroom product team's first opportunity to engage the developer community. While this preview SDK functionality is limited to the Export dialog, the discussion should be expanded to include any functional area that a developer would like to build upon.

Sounds like it could be an interesting update actually.

A bit more information;

Welcome to the Adobe® Photoshop® Lightroom™ Export SDK preview release on Adobe Labs. This public prerelease provides a Software Development Kit that will allow developers to enable communication from the Lightroom 1.3 Export Dialog to third party tools, web sites or devices. Using the SDK and an IDE of your choice will allow you to create Export plug-ins that further streamline the photographic workflow. This SDK, based on the open source Lua language, includes plug-in sample code for a Flickr and FTP plug-in that demonstrate how to extend the Export dialog interface for specific tasks.

So it looks like we eventually could end up with third party plugins such as noise ninja etc, as well as lots of scope for open source developments.. which is nice. :)

I realise it wasn't entirely their fault - but I still can't quite believe that Photoshop CSx wasn't available for Intel Mac for months after you could buy one.

I'm sure that must have caused havoc across the world for production houses where the hardware guys don't talk to the software guys.
