Adobe Lightroom 2

WOO HOO!!!!  One of the best tools available to photographers today, has just been officially updated…Adobe Photoshop Lightroom!  I have been using Lightroom 1.x since it’s early BETA’s and purchased it the day it came out back in February ’07.  I also have been using Lightroom 2 BETA since it came out and love it, love it, love it!  I have been recently tempted by Apple’s Aperture 2.1 and do like the program quite a bit, but I just love Lightroom too darn much, so I’m locked in for good now.  For you Aperture users out there, I do like Aperture and gave it a solid 2 months of playing around to ‘prove’ itself and there are definitely some sweet features, but for me, it’s Adobe all the way.  I mean they do have this product that maybe you’ve heard about called, Photoshop.  Also, I use what I believe to be the best piece of software available for album design, InDesign…Adobe is killer!!  So if you’re sitting there wondering why you don’t have Lightroom 2 yet, stop wondering and buy it…it will make you one happy photographer!  I just had to share my happiness with all of you!!!!

Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2 is $299 for first time purchasers, or $99 for students or to upgrade from Lightroom 1.x.
