Adobe Lightroom looks good

Yeah, no developer content today, but interesting to all digital photographers nonetheless. I've now been using Lightroom quite extensively for the last two weeks, and I must say it is pretty impressive for a 1.0 product. Especially happy I'm about the keyword/tagging functions, because I believe those features will get more and more important in the coming years as the number of photos accumulate on my hard disk and DVDs. Looks like I need to "believe in black".

Before I forget, I found an interesting story about the development of Lightroom, or the codename "Shadowland". Earlier, I said that Lightroom immediately had that "Macromedia/Dreamweaver" feeling, but in fact it had a "ImageStyler" feel. ImageStyler was a nice graphics product that was easy to use even for a developer like me. Now it turns out that the same guys and gals that were behind ImageStyler, did the initial coding for Lightroom. Cool!
