Adobe has released a beta of Photoshop Lightroom 2.0. It is available for download now and expires at the end of August 2008.

Adobe Photoshop Lightroom answers the digital photographer’s call for a workflow application that allows photographers to quickly work with raw format images.

Lightroom’s cross platform support allows photographers to effortlessly work on projects from any Windows or Macintosh computer on-location or in the office. Lightroom—spend less time at the computer, and more time behind the lens, doing what you love.




Lightroom 2.0 beta builds on the success of the first Lightroom beta program and provides photographers with early access to our next release so that you can kick the tires and ensure that this release meets your needs. Don’t delay. Download now and send us your feedback. Lightroom 2.0 beta expires at the end of August 2008.
