Lightroom 2 for Shutterbugs

Lightroom 2 for Shutterbugs

Techtree News Staff, Jul 30, 2008 1835 hrs IST

This upgraded version hopes to skew the gap between professional photographers and serious amateurs.

Adobe Systems has launched Photoshop Lightroom 2 with 64-bit processing support on 64-bit OS platforms - Windows and Mac OS X. Lightroom is a toolbox meant for digital image correction and management.

Lightroom 2 is the first Adobe app to support 64-bit tasks on Intel CPU-based Mac OS X 10.5, running on both Macs and 64-bit Windows Vista operating systems. Designed for skewing the gap between serious amateur photographers and professional photographers, Lightroom 2 is available at a retail price of $299, a price increase of $99 from the original.

Lightroom 2 supports working on multiple monitors, non-destructive local image adjustment, batchwise image processing and streamlined search through photo management across multiple hard drives. On the Mac OS X platform Adobe paces ahead of Apple's Aperture 2 that still has 32-bit support by offering 64-bit processing support.

The new batch processing feature allows viewing and enhancement of multiple photos batch-wise. While the volume management option allows several digital images at different locations on multiple hard drives to be managed and even tagged with keywords for effective search indexing.

Lightroom 2 allows photographers to choose between various camera profiles as per their image preferences and requirements for better raw processing workflow. Using those camera profiles with Adobe Camera Raw 4.5 plug-in and DNG Profile Editor, Adobe has extended support of both plug-ins for over 190 camera models.

Amateur shutterbugs can enjoy pro-like working experience with the new Lightroom 2 and streamline better image management, manipulation and control.
