Great news for anyone that was hit with the “Incorrect photos are displayed after switching away from a Publish Collection” bug in Lightroom. Last night, Adobe announced the availability of Lightroom 5.3 Release Candidate – it includes a fix for this super annoying Publish Service issue, which made working in Lightroom especially difficult when browsing away from Photosmith User Collections. For example, when attempting to browse a folder after looking at a Photosmith User Collection in our Lightroom Publish Service, no photos will be displayed in the Library’s grid view. The only fix was to restart Lightroom. Lightroom 5.3RC fixes all that.

We’ve have been testing Lr 5.3RC for a few hours this morning, and everything appears to work very well with Photosmith sync. We suggest that all Photosmith users affected by the Publish Service bug upgrade as soon as possible.

As with any update (and especially Release Candidates), make sure you backup your Lightroom catalog before upgrading.

Let us (and other users) know how the update works for you over on our User Forums: forums.photosmithapp.com.

Below is a list of all bugfixes which were included in this release, emphasis ours:

• Issues when upgrading catalog from previous versions of Lightroom.
• Incorrect photos are displayed after switching away from a Publish Collection.
• Catalog optimization did not finish, and was not optimizing the catalog
• Feather of clone spots is set to 0 after upgrading catalog to Lightroom 5.

• Sony 18-55mm lens is detected as the Hasselblad 18-55mm lens for lens correction.
• Increased Update Spot Removal history steps when in Before and After view.
