Lightroom

I have just had my first experience with Adobe Lightroom [the beta version] and I have to say that it is VERY cool. You can do all sorts of things with it and I think that using it for managing photos is probably much more productive than using Canon’s DPP + Adobe Bridge & Photoshop CS2. Lightroom combines the functions of DPP and Bridge together… which would make editing and organizing take place in the same application. That would usually mean that I might actually do it instead of putting the orgainzing work off until later.

I haven’t done much with it yet, but from what I’ve seen, it’s RAW processing capabilities are quite sophisticated. I’m anxious for the final version…
