|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board Adobe Lightroom beta available Fred Greaves, Photographer San Diego | CA | USA | Posted: 10:08 AM on 01.09.06 ->> http://labs.macromedia.com/technologies/lightroom/ Adobe/Macromedia Lightroom is available for download. I have only played with it a little bit, but it does seem to offer some cool tools for working on groups of images in a way that is similar to Aperture. It also seems to run much faster then Aperture, at least on my Dual 2.0 G5 that was left gasping when I've experimented with Aperture on it. I have not tried Lightroom on my Powerbook yet. Also it is Mac only for the time being. Enjoy --Fred  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I run an Ibook G4 1Ghz with 768MB Ram. Lightroom runs fast and pretty smooth - with my D2H files. Way faster than Nikon Capture - which I currently use for all my RAW processing. There's also a Windows version (and public beta) coming soon.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

What I personally would like to see happen is a cross between Extensis Portfolio, Photo Mechanic and Photoshop that would eliminate moving around the programs for the different aspects of my workflow.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I just imported a basketball game shot on a MkII (large jpegs) and Lightroom was significantly slower at previewing photos than Aperture. So slow, in fact, that I would not be able to use it for editing. Canon 5D raw files were ridiculously slow. I just read the luminous-landscape review and he said it ran faster than Aperture. I don't know what to think. It clearly runs slower on my machine, which should run just about anything pretty fast. Otherwise, Lightroom looks pretty cool and will put some pressure Apple to ramp up Aperture.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I haven't watched them yet, but there's videos available for each of the four modules. Of course, Mac users can simply go and download the app. But us poor PC users need to live vicariously through screen shots.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
