Today’s professional photographers must push their creative bounds and be able to quickly adapt their images to any medium — web, print, video, mobile — all in record time. Adobe® Photoshop® CS4 and Lightroom® 2 software make it happen: the ultimate professional photography solution.

 

Photoshop CS4 streamlines everyday tasks with a more intuitive interface plus unmatched editing and compositing enhancements that make working with images easier and faster than ever. Explore the new Adjustments panel that enables you to make changes in half the time as before. And the revolutionary Content-Aware Scaling feature, which automatically recomposes an image as you resize it — helping you get the perfect image in one step without time-intensive cropping and retouching.

 

Add Photoshop Lightroom to simplify your workflow — quickly sort and filter large volumes of photos using powerful metadata filters, and make fast across-the-board edits and adjustments. Then, easily take your photographs back into Photoshop for final deep-level edits, and seamlessly publish online and off. Save time from start to finish, and expand your creativity with this must-have photography toolkit.

 

Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3 Beta

Available Now on Adobe Labs, http://www.adobe.com/go/lightroom_beta

 

The Adobe Photoshop Lightroom team is proud to introduce the third public beta of its application designed by and for photographers. For those that aren’t familiar with Lightroom, it is an intuitive digital darkroom and efficient assistant that offers serious photographers — amateur and professional — what they need to easily manage, enhance, and showcase their images from one application.

 

Adobe is offering a public beta release of the next version of Lightroom to give photographers a chance to preview some of the new features and enhancements that will be part of Lightroom 3, and to help Adobe gather valuable user feedback to be used to help Lightroom 3 be an even better digital darkroom and efficient assistant solution.

 

Key new features and advancements in the Lightroom 3 Beta include:

  • Accelerated performance — work smoothly with growing image libraries
  • Importing made much easier — see exactly where Lightroom will copy files off your card and then use import presets to get fast repeatable results
  • New image processing controls, including powerful noise reduction and new film grain simulation
  • New flexible watermarking — embed identities or other information in your images
  • More flexible print package layouts — add as many different images in whatever configuration desired on a single page or multiple pages
  • Ability to save slideshows as videos and include audio
  • Integration with online photo sharing sites (may require third-party plug-ins)

 

This exciting Lightroom 3 public beta is available world-wide, in English only, and can be found on Adobe Labs. You don’t need to be a current Lightroom user to try it. As important members of Adobe’s partner community, Adobe would like you to experience the Lightroom 3 beta and provide Adobe with early feedback.
