Big announcement from Adobe today, the production release of Photoshop Lightroom 1.0 is finally available and at a discounted price for a limited time. In a nutshell Lightroom is Adobe’s answer to Apple’s popular and exclusive ‘Aperture’ application which provides specialized digital darkroom tools. Adobe has taken tools from within Photoshop that are geared toward digital photography and expanded them into this new product, adding workflow and advanced RAW image processing. The beta has been out for awhile which I’ve had the opportunity to play with and the final product stayed true to that version with some additional features. The interface is clean and simple. Batch processing has been made easier than ever, and automatically add metadata to photo files as they are imported from a camera. One of the best features of Lightroom 1.0 is that images are edited in a virtual environment so the orginal image files are never actually altered. This improves processing and workflow, and allows for quicker previewing. Adobe is providing special introductory pricing until April, equaling $100 off of the purchase price.
