Adobe Lightroom Beta 4 now available… make that Photoshop Lightroom
Adobe has announced that Photoshop Lightroom beta 4 is now ready for download. This is the first release to reveal the full name Adobe is giving to the product, as Lightroom takes its place as the newest member of the Photoshop family of digital imaging and photography software.
Beta 4 boasts several enhancements and additions, with full feature parity between the Windows and Mac OS versions.
Lightroom Beta 4 also features:
- Groundbreaking changes in the way tone curve adjustments are made and displayed, giving you the highest quality results in an interface that’s easier to use than ever before.
- More streamlined and elegant user interface – We’ve made several changes to the look and feel based on your feedback in the earlier beta releases.
- Customizable interface – You can now display only the controls you want to be visible.
- Precision white balance selection tool
- Facility to easily rename and convert files to DNG after they’ve been imported to the Lightroom library
- Increased interaction between Lightroom library organizational structure and the underlying file system
- Filter and search presets to more quickly find the photographs you want
- Better performance and improved interface for the Web module features
- Develop control improvements based on community feedback, including comments from the Pixmantec user community (welcome!)
Adobe Photoshop Lightroom beta 4 is available free for download, although the beta will only last until February 28, 2007. So go get your beta copy, test it out and tell Adobe what you think of it.
