5 Best Practices for Smartphone Support
Either way, Lightroom seems to have been well received by photographers who trialled it during the beta period. Adobe praised their feedback: "Everything, from image viewing and evaluation tools to timesaving editing features, was developed with the help of photographers," said John Loiacono, senior vice president of Adobe's Creative Solutions Business Unit. "This was truly a collaborative effort and we extend our thanks to everyone who provided invaluable feedback to help us deliver a powerhouse professional photography tool." Changes from the beta include improved keywording to help deal with large collections, more flexible file handling when importing files, and improved metadata filtering to help locate specific images more quickly. The Develop module has new features allowing comparisons of multiple versions of one image without requiring that each variation is saved. Over 150 native raw file formats are supported, including the Nikon D40 and D80, and the Pentax K10D. Imported images can be converted to the Digital Negative (DNG) format allowing them to be used with current and future software without being tied to the camera manufacturer's format. DNG is patented by Adobe, but licensed at no charge. The Lightroom beta will expire on February 28.{moscomment} |
