Author of much Lightroom plugin goodness Jeffrey Friedl has launched a new plugin for Lightroom 2.0. It his Lightroom “GPS Proximity Search” Plugin. Taking the GPS coordinates from an image, it will detect other images taken in the immediate area. For it to work, you need to have GPS coordinates stored with the images. Jeffrey offers clues on how to geoencode your images in the plugin post, but it’s all based on workarounds, due to the lightweight handling of GPS in Lightroom. If GPS is your thing, pop over and check it out.
For Jeffrey’s other plugins, check out his Lightroom Goodies page.

A few people have expressed an interest in how Lightroom will handle the installation of Photoshop CS4. When CS4 is installed, Lightroom automatically detects it and updates the Edit in Photoshop menu to reflect this. No user intervention should be necessary. There are quite a few changes in Photoshop CS4, so users may feel the need to leave CS3 installed. You can still use CS3 as an External Editor, in which case the old ‘Edit with Lightroom Adjustments’ dialog will appear, and an intermediate file will be created.
