Stories, software and strategies to help nonprofits do the social web
The Lightroom team is proud to introduce the third public beta program of our application designed by and for digital photographers.... For this latest release we went back to the drawing board and revisited what we believe are the fundamental priorities of our customers: Performance and Image Quality. Lightroom has been stripped down to the "engine block" in order to rebuild a performance architecture that meets the needs of photographers with growing image collections and increasing megapixels. The raw processing engine has also received an overhaul right down to the fundamental demosaic algorithms that now allows unprecedented sharpening and noise reduction results.
Lightroom 3 beta is available to anyone -- whether or not you own a previous version of the software. The beta expires April 30, 2010.
This is a very competitive move on Adobe's part. Aperture users like me will now have even less reason to wait for the fabled Aperture 3 -- without at least trying Lightroom.
Lightroom 3 does support RW2 raw files from Panasonic Lumix G1 and other micro four-thirds cameras. Apple and Aperture require tedious conversion to DNG, and even then only work with certain lenses http://elstudio.us/how-to-my-raw-workflow-for-the-lumix-g1-on-th.
Lightroom 3 could be very compelling. Downloading now. I'll report back on the beta once I've had time to try it.
