Hey guys,

I wanted to start a lightroom help thread for a long time now. My reasons are mainly because there seem to be a few of us in the Alpha + Lightroom bubble that might need assistance from time to time. This way, we could all keep our problems sorted in this little corner, because very few people in the Lightroom forum don't shoot Alphas, and Sony doesn't have a dedicated forum for Alpha shooters.

Now, because of the limited slice of the market we represent, we must rely on ourselves to solve issues specific to our little group. Let's get started!

I have taken a few long exposure pictures ( > 2 sec) with my A200 in RAW mode and there are a few hot pixels showing up. I have the long exposure noise reduction option turned on and I thought that should subtract a dark frame and remove any hot pixels. Does this only apply to JPEGs, or should the RAW files be affected too?

For Adobe users, Lightroom 2 beta has been released.
