Adobe Lightroom for Windows Beta released
So have any of you tried out the Windows beta of Adobe Lightroom? I plan to try it out this weekend when I may or may not be informal-shooting another wedding. As it is beta software I will not be using it as my primary tool of course, it will be though a good test I think.
I would love to know your opinions too, Windows or Mac. Is this the workflow solution to beat all others or a bag of pants best ignored? Go download it from Adobe Labs – Project: Lightroom and let us know!

Strobist putting on the breaks
It seems running the most popular photography lighting blog on the interweb has taken its toll on the Family Strobist. David writes that the thing has taken much of his precious time and needs to be less taxing in future.
One thing led to another, and the site pretty much went nuts. Word spread faster than I ever thought possible. Not because it is better than anything else — it’s not. Because a lot of people would like to know more about using flash, and there really isn’t anything like the site anywhere else on the web.
He also outlined his “Next Phase” which includes seminars, etc. I think this is a great idea for him. He should also consider digital learning materials, audio/ebooks etc. While his blog is very educational, his seminars and workshops I am sure will be brilliant, there is a limit to how many people can afford the cost or the time off to go to a physical class and with electronically delivered tutoring he will be able to reach a much bigger market.
Good luck to you David!

The Best Free RAW Conversion Software – RawShooter – No More?
I was going to review the 2006 version of Pixmantec Rawshooter Essentials but it looks like the product will be disappearing soon. PhotographyBLOG has an Open Letter from Pixmantec
As we work to integrate Pixmantec technology and expertise into Adobe’s raw processing pipeline, we will no longer be working on new versions of the RawShooter | premium product, and have stopped selling this product. Of course, your RawShooter | premium product will continue to work and serve you well
They do say Canon 30D support will be arriving later so perhaps all is not lost …

Adobe Lightroom
Darren points us to the new release from Adobe, Lightroom. At first it looks like a grown-up version of Picasa but being Adobe it has a bit more under the hood than that.
It is quite similar to Picasa, with tagging and filtering by tags, importing and organisation. Looking at the Overview Video it seems a fair bit more powerful, even if the developers might well have been inspired by the Google owned tool.
If you are a mac user you can download the beta from Adobe Labs – Project: Lightroom, a PC version is supposedly coming soon.

Adobe Photoshop Elements 5 Announced
Photoshop Elements users might be interested to hear Adobe has upgraded their product. Not wanting to spend the kind of money required for the full CS package I bought Elements 4 and have been reasonably happy with it so far. I had to patch it up to be able to use layer masks in elements, after that it does everything I need I think. The new Elements 5 upgrade seems to be mostly consumer-oriented features as far as I can see, stuff like scrap book style layouts and mapping (as you might expect).
They have added some editing functionality, not sure of the detail as info is patchy right now at the Adobe Site
Personally I will be looking out for reviews before upgrading, and even then there will need to be something very compelling!
More Photoshop Elements 5 product info here and the press release is here.
