Adobe Lightroom for Windows Beta released

DSLRBlog Editors — Thu, 20 Jul 2006 08:52:22 +0000

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

DSLRBlog Editors — Wed, 19 Jul 2006 10:13:27 +0000

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!

Zooomr Launched … and not visibly different

DSLRBlog Editors — Tue, 18 Jul 2006 08:49:56 +0000

According to the Official Zooomr Blog we should be seeing the much hyped, delayed and anticipated updated Zooomr … anyone notice any difference?

Personally I can’t log in, and I can’t find any “forgot your password” doohickey to help me with it. Would be interested if anyone else has more joy and finds something new. Perhaps all the good stuff is under the hood, or something to do with Geo Tagging or something?

I am glad they managed to get around the denial of service attack that delayed their launch. Some gits out there have a sick sense of humour.
