Adobe Project: Lightroom (beta)

Adobe Lightroom (beta) screenshot.  Click to enlargeBelow is what Adobe Labs has to say about their new product Lightroom (beta). I think it's worth a try. Check it out!

Adobe Lightroom beta is a new, exciting product built from the ground up for professional photographers. It is an efficient, powerful way to import, select, develop and showcase large volumes of digital images. It allows you to spend less time sorting and organizing images, so you have more time to actually shoot and perfect them. Project Lightroom aims to get direct product feedback from the photography community, via our new Adobe Labs web site, so that photographers will have a huge say in what Adobe actually ships.

Project: Lightroom™ is Adobe’s effort to engage the professional photography community in a new way, giving you the opportunity to kick the tires and shape the feature set of a new tool being created just for you. Ultimately, we want Lightroom™ to be truly built from the ground up by photographers, for photographers, helping solve your unique workflow challenges.

We’re releasing a preview build now so that you have plenty of time to give us feedback on what’s working for you, and what isn’t. Your participation is important. Download now and send us your feedback before the Lightroom™ Beta 3 build expires January 30, 2007.

To learn more, check out the Lightroom Beta Overview and Getting Started with the Develop Module video below which will help get you up and running on Lightroom.
Note: Although initially available as a beta for Macintosh, Lightroom will later support both the Windows and Macintosh platforms. Sign-up to be notified when the Windows version becomes available.
