Adobe Photoshop Lightoom 3 - now available and shipping

For those photographers that follow me on this blog - it may interest you to know what i use to process my images and my workflow - this is going to be the subject of some more workshops and articles later this for year.

For now though I'm excited about the latest Adobe release of Lightroom 3.0 - I've been using the Beta versions for a while now - and have used Lightroom 1.0 since it's launch and even it's pre-cursor of Pixmantec Raw Shooter (Premium). It's come a long way since then - and finally there is rudimentary movie support in Lightroom 3.0 - I'd still like to see the addition of basic trimming / editing at least as good as Ahead's NERO product. Maybe if we all feed that back to Adobe it will come in a interim release....

Anyway here's the press release:
