Adobe Lightroom: Amazing
1:57 AM | Comments (1)

I've only been using this application for about half an hour, and I already love it. I am not in a position to write a review yet, obviously, but here are some things that tickle my fancy right off the bat:
  • The sweet presets - Hate to admit it, but that's how I processed the latest photo in my Flickr photostream. Plus, you can create your own presets.
  • Importing options - Gives you options to copy the RAW files to a new location or leave them where they are, and doesn't put them in some weird library like Aperture.
  • History - Keeps a history of everything you do and you can easily revert back to any state it has been in and work from there.
  • Lower the lights - Sometimes it's best to look at a photo by itself, not letting your eye get tricked by anything else on the screen around it. Just press the "L" key, and you can do just that!
  • Easy web photo albums - It looks like you can very easily create a web album of the photos in your film strip, and it's highly customizable.
  • Snazzy slideshows - Play a very sleek slideshow of your filmstrip.
  • Very intuitive and customizable printing - You get an exact print preview of the image(s) and you can adjust margins, columns, rows, set an identity plate...anything.
  • Every other little thing - You can tell this app was created by photographers. A lot of little things you wish you had while working in Aperture are here in Lightroom.
Aperture may have some of this stuff, so don't criticize me there. If they do, it's well hidden and not very intuitive. Just download Lightroom for yourself and see what you think.
