Adobe Lightroom 1.0 is ready

Well, things happen. You might recall from my previous posts that I'm not a great fan of Adobe products (like Flash or Acrobat), but it seems the old Macromedia touch can still be seen in new products like Photoshop Lightroom, or "LR". I found it to be a product just like Dreamweaver: it just fits my hand well. Can't say that about Flash or Acrobat, though.

Nonetheless, Lightroom 1.0 is here -- it became available today. I immediately downloaded the trial version and used it on Windows Vista. Works like a charm even on VMware. I imported several dozens of photos, and tried keywording/tagging and developing them. Feels like a very capable and powerful tool, and neat to look at as well. I do have to seriously consider buying this product.
