Lightroom 2 Available

[Mark_48]

I just downloaded and installed the upgrade. Haven't had a chance to play with it yet. There's a promo code until 7/31/2008 for 15% off > PIA06 when purchased through Adobes store. Not sure if this is US only. The upgrade ended up $84 and some change for the download version. Thread over at POTN seems to indicate some fairly good improvements and additions. http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=544277&highlight=lightroom

Yup, and don't forget to download the beta profiles: DNG Profiles - Adobe Labs (http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/DNG_Profiles)

i can't wait to try it out. dodge/burn should really come in handy.

so what are your thoughts on it?

Just got this link from NAPP. The video shows some overviews of new features. Sidebar on right brings up specific feature videos.

I just did a quick exercise in Colorizing by desaturation and using the localized Adjustment brush to desaturate the skin while bringing back the Red.

I got the idea from the Colorizing vid here: http://thedigitalphotographyconnection.com/LFDP.php and then added the flexibility of localized adjustment brush of LR2 :D

They made some nice improvements and additions in this version.

I have been watching this since day 1 but I have been too busy to bother trying out the beta. I can't wait to see the reviews.
