Adobe Lightroom 4 First Impressions

By   March 07, 2012

 
Adobe Lightroom 4 First ImpressionsYesterday, Adobe announced the final version of their powerful Lightroom 4 photography workflow and editing software. There are a lot of significant improvements to Lightroom 4 but the most important change is the new price. In the past, Lightroom has sold for US $300 but Adobe lowered the price to $149 and $79 to upgrade from a previous version. It looks like the $79 upgrade price is also available to Lightroom 1 and 2 owners. With more and more photographers using Lightroom as their one and only digital photo editing program, the aggressive new pricing is should make Lightroom 4 the de facto do-it-all photography software for almost all serious photographers. Most of the improvements were announced with the Lightroom 4 beta, including the addition of new Book and Map modules, better video support; with soft proofing and enhanced selective adjustments added to the Develop module.

February 29th Adobe Lightroom DealThere are a few photography gear deals today – February 29th – Leap Day. The best one I’ve seen so far is Adobe Lightroom 3 for $89. The normal price for Lightroom is $300 so this is over 60% off. That’s a hell of a discount. It also gets you set to upgrade for $99 when Adobe releases Lightroom 4. That won’t be long since there’s already a beta version of Lightroom 4 available to the public (Adobe Lightroom 4 Beta Article). This is a one day only deal, on Amazon.

Test Drive The New Adobe Lightroom 4 Beta

By   January 10, 2012

 
Test Drive The New Adobe Lightroom 4 BetaThere’s exciting news for Adobe Lightroom users. Adobe has released a public beta version of Lightroom 4. It’s available as a free download to anyone who wants to download and install it. You don’t have to have a current version of Lightroom installed to use it. Of course, it is beta software so it’s a work in progress and you may encounter problems. It also won’t update your current Lightroom catalog to Lightroom 4. Lightroom 4 is only meant for testing so you should really only use it on copies of your photos. That said, if you want to get a closer look at what Adobe has planned, there’s no better way to do that than installing the beta software and playing with some of your photos to find out what it can do. Adobe has released a series of short videos about the Lightroom 4 beta (see below) and I’ve watched them all to learn more about what we can expect from the new software.
