Product Description:

Adobe Lightroom is the efficient new way for professional photographers to import, select, develop, and showcase large volumes of digital images. So you can spend less time sorting and refining photographs, and more time actually shooting them. Its clean, elegant interface literally steps out of the way and lets you quickly view and work with the images you shot today, as well as the thousands of images that you will shoot over the course of your career. Because no two photographers work alike, Adobe Lightroom adapts to your workflow, not the other way around.

Lightroom Beta lets you view, zoom in, and compare photographs quickly and easily. Precise, photography-specific adjustments allow you to fine tune your images while maintaining the highest level of image quality from capture through output. And best of all, it runs on most commonly used computers, even notebook computers used on location. Initially available as a beta for Macintosh, Lightroom will later support both the Windows and Macintosh platforms.

What's new in this version:

  • Localized corrections — Enhance specific areas of an image for unsurpassed nondestructive flexibility and control reminiscent of the traditional darkroom dodge and burn experience.
  • Improved organizational tools — Find the images you need quickly and easily.
  • Multiple monitor support — Add an additional monitor to efficiently manage photographic workflow and presentation.
  • Flexible print package functionality — Create custom layouts containing multiple sizes of a photograph on a single page.
  • 64-bit support — Lightroom 2.0 now takes advantage of the latest hardware architectures with improved memory handling and performance.

This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

  • Mac OS X 10.5 Intel
  • Mac OS X 10.5 PPC
  • Mac OS X 10.4 Intel

Adobe Photoshop Lightroom ReviewBuggy Upgrade - Version: 2.0, 8/25/2008 11:36AM PST

I loved 1.4.1. I switched from Aperture to Lightroom because Aperture was buggy. Lightroom 2.0 works for some people, but it's basically Beta on others. Wait for an update. This one no worky.

1. Renders thumbnails faster and more efficiently.
2. Works closely with Photoshop and uses the standard Adobe Color Engine.
3. Thinks the way photographers do.
4. Lightweight - can run on a laptop really fast.
5. Increasingly better indexing and metadata.

Better than Aperture. I want to like Aperture, it's just too slow and sluggish. Even 2.0.
