Hey Jeff, thanks a million for the insight into the development of LR. A great read at that.

Seth, I think your hair is a good look! I thought it was a hairpiece. But on second look…it must be real!

I know I am coming on board a bit late. But I live in the Philippines, that explains it. I am thinking of writing a review in my regular column that appears in a local newspaper so I decided to make a research on what has been said so far about LR. I am so glad I stumbled on this. Thanks for the backgrounder Jeff. That definitely cleared the misconception.

Enough has been said about LR and Aperture, but for people like me who live in a third world country, price is always a consideration. I think Aperture is overpriced!

Jeff,

Thank you so much for this background info. You guys have done a great job with Lightroom so far. Looking forward to the final version.

Quick question – you may or may not know the answer – but was Lightroom written in Flex?

Thanks,

Mike Koehler

Hello Jeff
For a no English speaker does the acronym UI means User Interface here? Mostly it is for us foreigners “user information”

Do hope the Windows version will come within the forseeable future

hi friends,
i really enjoy your story. see graham nash again is fantastic. how about david crosby?
lightroom is running fine on my powerbook G4 and i wonder how much it will cost, beside some more technical questions, such as more zoom possibilities, how to use the no destructive feature (i have not understood it yet) and some more. maybe in the official edition?

but very nice black/white shoots!

ciao, flavio

Hey Jeff–
I’ve been lurking in your shadows for years. I had a studio in Chicago from 1978-80, but moved to Minneapolis in 1980.
I have followed your career since then, albeit, periodically. I took Seth’s D-65 workshop last spring, and have followed both of you since.
Love the contributions you have made to Photoshop and Lightroom.
Keep up the great work.
Love your images from Antarctica, too.
Have a terrific week,
Alex Bachnick

Sorry if I missed it, but will there be a PC Beta version for us PC users?
If yes is there a date?

I certinally hope that Adobe abandons “C++” in lightroom. This is a program that begs for a good assembly programmer to implement the algorythems. I know the bean counters love C++, but the ovehead kills the speed and bloats the program. Is Assembly dead at Adobe? Of course with Apple switching to Intel, the really fine Intel “C” compiler can also be used now. I know the UI developers are more “into” the look and feel, but don’t let the speed slip away in the coding process.
Not flaming Apple but I left the Apple camp years ago and have never looked back. Where is my Windows version?
