Latest Lightroom Plugin Activity over at the Photographer’s Toolbox
We’ve been busy updating a number of our plugins over the past couple of months, and as most of our Lightroom plugins are now distributed via the Photographer’s Toolbox site any updates to the plugins aren’t directly visible here. Below is a summary of the plugin changes that have occurred since our last update late last year.

- Detects and notifies user of workarounds for issues related to editor mode in PSE 7 and above.
