Adobe Releases Lightroom 2
Adobe announced today the release of Lightroom 2, a competitor to Apple's Aperture photo software.
Lightroom 2 also represents Adobe's first Mac OS X application with full 64-bit support. Lightroom 2 is available from http://www.adobe.com/store for $299 for new users or a $99 upgrade price for existing users.
Apple just released a minor update to Aperture to bring it up to version 2.1.1.
A worldwide community of photographers provided valuable insight and feedback, as part of the Lightroom 2 public beta program, ultimately helping us deliver a better product, said Tom Hogarty, senior product manager for Lightroom and Camera Raw at Adobe. Weve considered their requests which helped us develop useful features that make it easier than ever for our customers to quickly refine, enhance and present brilliant photographs.
Adobe lists new enhancements including dual-monitor support, advances in non-destructive localized image correction, and streamlined search capabilities. A detailed list of changes can be found on Adobe's Lightroom blog.Lightroom 2 also represents Adobe's first Mac OS X application with full 64-bit support.

Still it could have been worse. I'll hold off the upgrade until other stores get it in. Amazon.co.uk may be cheaper.

Lightroom is a great piece of software; tried it in beta, but I can't use all the features.

So far I've been very happy with the new Aperture software from Apple. But competition is good! Hopefully Abode and Apple keep pushing each other to continue to make their products better.

YES!
And thank you Apple for pressuring Adobe (by making Aperture) to make Adobe’s best app to OS X ever!

I think I will stick with Aperture...there is no way that I am dropping $300 on software when I can get one that is basically the same for $100.
