Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2.0 Beta

Lightroom 2.0 beta builds on the success of the first Lightroom beta program and provides photographers with early access to our next release so that you can kick the tires and ensure that this release meets your needs. Don?t delay. Download now and send us your feedback. Lightroom 2.0 beta expires at the end of August 2008.

Enhancements that can be found in the Lightroom 2.0 beta include the following:

* Localized corrections ? Enhance specific areas of an image for unsurpassed nondestructive flexibility and control reminiscent of the traditional darkroom dodge and burn experience.
* Improved organizational tools ? Find the images you need quickly and easily.
* Multiple monitor support ? Add an additional monitor to efficiently manage photographic workflow and presentation.
* Flexible print package functionality ? Create custom layouts containing multiple sizes of a photograph on a single page.
* 64-bit support ? Lightroom 2.0 now takes advantage of the latest hardware architectures with improved memory handling and performance.

I can't get the download going myself because it seems to currently be impossible to create a new Adobe login ID. Anyone try it out yet?

Installing now. Finally, I have a 64 bit app to play with.

Lightroom 1.x combined with Photoshop CS2 meets all my current needs for photography workflow. I don't think I'll install the beta, as I don't want to import all my photos twice. But I would be interested in upgrading to it, as it can only improve on v1.x and my photography needs will likely grow.

nice, 64-bit support, will have to try it out.
