Adobe Lightroom Available for Pre-order

by , 1:40 PM EST, January 29th, 2007

Adobe Systems, Inc. announced on Monday that their Lightroom photography software is out of beta and immediately available for pre-order.

Adobe's Lightroom is a software tool that operates on RAW camera images and allows the photographer to have detailed control over the image parameters such as white balance, color saturation, and sharpness. Lightroom assists with the management and workflow associated with handling large numbers of images.

"Photoshop Lightroom includes new functionality added since beta 4.1, with significant changes to the Library and Develop modules complementing improvements to the Slideshow, Print and Web components," according to Adobe's statement.

Adobe Photoshop Lightroom went through a 12 month beta test period with over 500,000 photographers participating. It is considered a competitor to Apple's Aperture software.

Adobe Photoshop Lightroom is expected to ship in mid-February with an introductory price of US$199 through April 30th.

Lightroom is a fabulous product. In some ways it is better than Aperture, in some ways not.

What I like about it most is that it will likely force improvements to Aperture.

Competition is such a healthy thing.
