Focus point?

[NicolaB]

Am I right in thinking that there is NOT a way to see your focus point on screen in CS5 or LR?

It would be really useful if there is

Not that I know of - that'd be cool though.

I think above user is right. He has good knowledge related this.
Hope this will help you and other's also who visit their.
keep sharing such type of info in future also.

I did some checking - turns out that Lightroom / Photoshop don't. It's because the major camera manufacturers are encrypting this data in their raw files - the folks at Adobe have basically reverse engineered alot of the data, but not all.

I don't know why Nikon / Canon are hiding this information. They have it in their own image editing programs - so if you use the Nikon Capture program you can see such data - but unfortunately not lightroom. I believe there are some third party people working on a plug-in.

It's not too terribly useful for me, as I focus recompose alot, (which isn't so bad, there used to be parallax errprs - but those can go away with focus tracking )

Thank you. Perhaps they will come round if enough of us ask for it ;-)
