Fans of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom will definately want to head on over to the Adobe Labs for a look at the upcoming Lightroom3, and to download the Lightroom3 beta to take for a test drive.
For the development of this latest release, we’ve focused on what we believe are the fundamental priorities of our customers: performance and image quality. Lightroom has been rebuilt from its core to provide a performance architecture that meets the needs of photographers today and into the future. The raw processing engine has also received an overhaul in order to ensure that you’re maximizing the potential in your images in terms of sharpening and noise reduction. And, a number of other new areas have also had new features added and enhanced. Like any beta, Lightroom 3 beta is unfinished, which means some of the features we have planned are not in this release, and some of the features in the beta are not yet complete.
The beta is a fully functional standalone English-only version that will operate until April 30th, 2010.
