Adobe has launched a competition using Lightroom images.

Of course it is royalty free, but at least non-exclusive.

I don't quite get the royalty free term, since from what I read they are simply displaying the images, not selling them. Is there something I'm missing? Randy

Randy,

Should a photographers work be selected Adobe has the right to use that image for promotion without paying the photographer a fee. The good news is that perhaps the photographer can use the new found fame to sell the image(s) to other markets as it is a non-exclusive deal.

FYI,

Adobe just sent an email, you can now buy Adobe Lightroom for $199 instead of $299.

Personally I tried the beta and I liked it. Easier to use than PS to do quick photo adjustments, yet pretty powerful. I like the B&W conversion engine on it. I'm not trying to start a debate though.
