Adobe Unveils Lightroom Public Beta and Delivers New Technology for Digital Photography Workflows

Professional Photographers Instrumental in Developing New Modular Software to Import, Manage, Develop, and Showcase Images

Adobe has written a Lightroom FAQ. It answers, from Adobe’s point of view, some of the questions that are bound to surface regarding Adobe’s intentions regarding Adobe Lightroom Beta 1 and the development of the commercial release sometime later this year.

Q: What is Project Lightroom?
 

The development of Adobe Lightroom, code named Shadowland, was not something Adobe started after Apple announced Aperture. The Shadowland project has been going on for years.

How do I know that Adobe has been working on Shadowland for so long?

Because that’s how long I’ve been working on it.
 

Adobe announces Adobe® Lightroom®, a new digital photography application and provides a free Public Beta download.

Bell Labs’ Willard Boyle and George Smith receive Draper Prize for the Development of the Charged-coupled Device

Pioneers Honored with World’s Top Engineering Award for Invention That Ushered in the Modern Age of Digital Imaging

Press Release: MURRAY HILL, N.J. — Bell Labs, the research and development arm of Lucent Technologies (NYSE: LU), today announced that Dr. Willard Boyle and Dr. George Smith, both former researchers at Bell Labs, are this year’s recipients of one of the highest honors in engineering, the National Academy of Engineering’s (NAE) Charles Stark Draper Prize, for their invention and development of the charge-coupled device, or CCD. This award honors engineers whose accomplishments have significantly impacted society.

This is one of those No-Win situations…

There is a rumor that Adobe is going to make an announcement about “something” some time next week at Macworld Expo in San Francisco. The AppleInsider web site has posted a story and it’s been picked up by other web sites as well. PhotoshopNews, being a blog about Photoshop kinda needs to address the question, but circumstances prohibit us from saying anything other than to mention the rumor without confirming nor denying it.

On the other hand, inquiring minds might want to check PhotoshopNews early Monday morning, January 9th, 2006 to see if circumstances change.

Editor’s Note: Talk about a scam-hopefully this won’t bring rize to similar scams elsewhere.
