Lightroom Press Release

Bring on Mid-February baby!!

There is special pricing in effect through the end if April - US $199. After that, it appears they will raise the price to US $299.

This also makes me wonder if the features for ACR 4.0 are now baked in. Those who have used LightRoom Beta and CS3 beta say the Develop module in LightRoom has pretty much the same raw processing features as ACR 4.0 beta in the CS3 beta.

Having tried both Lightroom and CS3 betas I think I'm planning on staying with CS3. I just wasn't very impressed with Lightroom.

How does lightroom compare to Aperture?

Bill Chambers - can you be more specific about what is not impressive about Lightroom? Thanks, Pete D.

I remember somebody mention that RSP users will be given a free copy of Lightroom - is that true? If yes, how does one go about obtaining it?

Hi Ashutosh, an email will be sent to the email address you used to register your copy of Pixmantec RAW Shooter Premium. It will contain instructions on how to acquire the needed serial number. This email is supposed to be sent prior to Feb 23rd which is when beta 4 expires.

In the meantime you can most certainly download the un-impaired 30 trial copy and begin to enjoy the fruits that Lightroom offers!!

Yeah, thanks for the information; I just received my email notification from Adobe :)
