Lightroom 3 asking for ACR 6.5. Photoshop says its updated already but its version (6.4.1.145

Because I do not use Lightroom, I can't tell you why that application is asking you for ACR 6.5, which at this time is only available as a "Release Candidate" (advanced, almost-finished beta version) on Adobe Labs.

You may want to download and install the ACR 6.5 Release Candidate, or else post in the Lightroom forum for an explanation.

For the Release Candidate of ACR 6.5 see:

In Lightroom 3.4 (64 bit) or whatever the latest is,editing a CR2 file - I right click on the image - select EDIT in PHOTOSHOP (CS5 64 bit) but the error I get is saying in order for Lightroom to work properly update to Camera Raw 6.5 by going to updates in Photoshop Help menu.

You sure you're running LR 3.4.1 and not the 3.5 RC from Adobe Labs? LR 3.4.1 will work with ACR 6.4.1 without popping an error. LR 3.5 will pop the error asking for ACR 6.5.

why would beta 6.5 be realeased if it really not ready for consumtion just yet?

The Camera Raw/Lightroom team releases beta versions (called release candidates) for a variety of reasons...noew camera support, bug fixes and to test, in the wild...LR 3.5 has a lot of bug fixes...ACR 6.5 not as much. Don't know why you are having issues downloading and installing ACR 6.5...we would need a lot more info to troubleshoot it for you. And just to be clear, when Adobe releases betas on the Labs site, that does NOT prompt an update in the general release apps. If you downloaded LR 3.5, you had to go to labs.adobe.com and accept the terms & conditions. LR 3.5 would not have been downloaded and installed with the app updater.

"Beta" is more or less equivalent to "If you're a power user and REALLY know what you're doing, you might want to try this".  It also implies "you're on your own".

To expect full integration across products is simply too much to ask.

OK I have the same issue but don't see the answer - don't need lessons on beta or really knowing what I'm doing - what's the correct answer from Adobe on this question:

I upgraded Lightroom 3 to 3.5.  From 'edit in Photoshop' I now get the must upgrade Photoshop to ACR 6.5.  Photoshop Upgrade says I have the lastest upgrade, but its ACR 6.4.1.145

Lectures and comments aside on not syncing Lightroom 3 and Photshop CS5 releases, What Is The Resolution to this problem?

Would the problem be resolved if you, say, downloaded and installed the beta ACR 6.5 software?

The link is available at the top of this forum when viewing the Discussions or other tabs.

Kind of a smart-*** answer for an Adobe employee (which I assume you are given you icon, I hope someone checks your work.

Can Adobe, say, not issue out LR3 updates that aren't in sync with ACR releases to CS5 such that CS5 says it is updated but LR3 says it isn't and so that I don't have to download a beta/release candidate and manually update the software?

So there is no proper answer just a "use the beta" workaround...?

Adobe just released camera raw 6.5 and lightroom 3.5 out of beta.

Well, since this is a user to user forum, Noel is just a user like you. The fact that he uses a stylized PS avitar means nothing...actual Adobe employees have the word Employee under their names...based on your post count since you joined the forums, I guess you didn't know that, huh?

If you want help, you might want to check your attitude (which isn't really stellar) at the door.

MTSTUNER has given you the answer to resolve your issues-at least relating to ACR and LR...

Seems to me you're the one with the attitude.  MTSTUNER's reply obviously came after my question and was an answer - meaning your reply was nothing but self serving.  I don't need the attitude, so I won't be back.  Thanks for checking my post count as a means of defining me,  I'm sure yours either makes you special and authorized to make personal comments just as the other guy's high count meands he can throw in ,say, into his posts. 

No worries - I won't be back here.

I checked your post count to figure out why you thought Noel was an employee since you clearly didn't have a clue about these forums...and my post wasn't self-serving...it was intended as a slap upside the head for your boorish behavior. It seems to have worked...don't let the door hit ya on the way out. BTW, I hope the ACR 6.5 works for ya...(well, secretly I hope the installer barfs but, what the heck, one can hope :~)

P.S. maybe cut back on the caffeine or whatever is effecting you, just sayin'

Check your attitude.  I'm just another Photoshop user, here to try to help out.  Employees have the word EMPLOYEE under their name, and there is NO expectation that they will support you here.  This is a user help forum.

Oh, and what I suggested WOULD have worked, if you had just tried it.
