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!

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 theĀ  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.
