I find it starts up a lot faster than 1.0, but we'll see after I use it for a while. |

Ok... _incredibly_ annoying issue.
If LR is performing an action (refreshing the DB, for instance, after an import), the app takes control of the screen. You can't switch to another window unless you actually minimize LR, because it will pop right back up on top.
Oh... and perf? Still sucks. The thing eats up over a gig of memory the moment it opens.

That's disappointing, but not surprising.

I don't know what you have set wrong but I just had a play with my copy and using all photos 6250+ (I throw away a lot that I won't ever use... have taken 30,000+)
I played with the library/develop/web/slideshow and print modules building galleries and slideshows
base mem usage was about 250 megs rising to about 350 megs when working hard but returning back to the base amount when back working on single photo in develop
while it has been idle while typing this it has returned to 135 meg
do you let it build previews and store them (I keep mine for 30 days) or do you build them on the fly

I havent' noticed any memory problems with lightroom yet. Can't say I noticed any difference in performance between v1 and v1.1 but all the new features make it a much more interesting program regardless.
But out of interest how do I measure the memory usage on Mac OSX 10.4? |

I haven't tuned any memory settings (because it doesn't allow you to). Thumbnails are stored permanently in my library, with about 8800 photos.
The biggest difference is that the majority of my photos are stored on a network drive, not locally. That should have no effect on LR's memory usage, however - that's all handled at the OS level. |

| Insists on installing itself to a new folder, ending in 1.1 and leaving the Lightroom 1.0 folder there. And then converts the databbase so you can't use 1.0 anymore. Hmm, wazzup with that? |

Not off to a good "restart" with it. I installed it, it said it was converting the database, "this may take several minutes". Do they know that "several" is like "two"? Well anyway, after about 10 or more minutes, it came back and told me that it could not convert the database, so it was restoring my original database. Then it quit. It forgot to post the dialog that said you are "shit out of luck", but I'm sure that's what it wanted to say.

| Can anyone tell me what the name of the database file is and where it is stored? I think I'll back it up before trying 1.1. |

Im not sure on 1.0 but on my 1.1 demo the databse file looks to be in
..\my documents\my pictures\lightroom
So far it is growing on me, I'm finding it better than bridge to organise my pics and I really like the fact I can edit a RAW photo in it and have all the steps displayed and come back to it weeks later and undo steps if I like. I'm sure if the database gets corrupted I'll prob be screwed though

I had major issues with the beta and with 1.0, with very slow interface. 1.1 seems to really be an improvement in this regard, at lest on my machine. I just processed a shoot I did at a friend's retirement party, and really enjoyed working with LR. Really loving the "ACR 4.1" adjustments. I really am going to have to do little or nothing to the shots from this shoot in PS.

Bridge is clunky-slow if you move from bridge to ACR and back a lot. I do almost all of my work in Develop mode in LR... from reviewing the photos to rating them to applying changes. There's no "moving back and forth" for me, I just stay right there. In this regard, even LR 1.0 was much faster than Bridge+ACR.
As for losing your database... if you have LR create sidecar files (.XMP) then you would lose the history but not the settings. The database probably holds the previews (which can be rebuilt), the history, and the keywords. But I've found that even the ratings are stored in the XMP file. So when I blew away my database the other day, LR still knew which images I had flagged for processing (by rating) and what settings to use for each file.
If it were me ... I'd turn the database off. I believe it would speed up LR even more and would have no negative impact on my style of work.

It's growing on me, too. I really like more LR presets.

You can set up a backup schedule for the database. If the database gets corrupted just reload one of the backups. |

| Is lightroom good at removing noise at higher ISOs, or would something like Noise Ninja be better? |
