Fixed:
– Folder stacks with virtual copies get unstacked when moving to another folder.
– Stacked photos get hidden in both the Grid view and Filmstrip. This occurs when photos get unstacked as a result of enabling auto-stacking.
– Errors encountered when publishing videos to Facebook through the Facebook Publish Service.
– Users may have occurred problems when trying to enter the Web Module from Library.
– Unable to edit JPEG photos in Photoshop Elements.
– Background graphics that are applied to a Book globally may not appear as expected in a Saved PDF.
– Certain book covers had spine text positioned in a Horizontal manner, not Vertical.
– Double byte characters are not being exported to PDF in Books.
– Photos were exported with original GPS coordinates recorded by the camera, not with the GPS coordinates updated in Lightroom.
– Keyboard shortcuts in the Develop module sometimes do not work when editing an image in Process Version PV2010.
– Parents and synonyms of “do not export” keywords also do not export.
Adobe Lightroom 4.2 retails for US$149.00 and requires an Intel-based Mac running Mac OS X 10.6.8 or later to install and run.
