Adobe Announces Lightroom Beta, Aperture Competitor
The software is presently released as a public beta and will expire at the end of June 2006 and is available for download now.
Interestingly, the beta is only available for the Mac at this time.
Adobe Lightroom Beta requires Mac OS X version 10.4.3 (Tiger) or higher, a 1GHz or faster PowerPC G4 or G5 processor (including iBook G4 or PowerBook G4), and 768 MB of RAM (although more is recommended), and 1 GB or more of free hard drive space. Windows requirements will be announced when that version is ready.
MacCentral has some early notes on Lightroom and offers some comparisons with Aperture -- Apple's professional photography tool which was announced in October.

Finally, software that is only available for Mac! :D Adobe is definitely trying to compete with Aperture. :mad:
Yeah... I'm guessing they released it so early for the Mac to stop people from buying Aperture.

A Mac-only app from Adobe is a sweet thing, isn't it? :D :downloading now:
This is definitely some big competition for Apple's Aperture.
And it's not like Adobe is copying Apple's idea, either. They were both working on this project at the same time, obviously. I just don't wanna hear "Adobe copied Apple" at any point.

Hopefully it's better than Aperture. Competition is good for all of us, and that'll mean Apple will have to make Aperture better than it is. :)

Just Kidding :D (someone had to say it, right?)
Can't wait for this to be available tomorrow.
