Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 1.2

Posted on September 17th, 2007 by User Image

New Adobe® Photoshop® Lightroom™ software is the professional photographer’s essential toolbox, providing one easy application for managing, adjusting, and presenting large volumes of digital photographs so you can spend less time in front of the computer and more time behind the lens. So you can spend less time sorting and refining photographs, and more time actually shooting them. Its clean, elegant interface literally steps out of the way and lets you quickly view and work with the images you shot today, as well as the thousands of images that you will shoot over the course of your career. Because no two photographers work alike, Adobe Lightroom adapts to your workflow, not the other way around.

Lightroom lets you view, zoom in, and compare photographs quickly and easily. Precise, photography-specific adjustments allow you to fine tune your images while maintaining the highest level of image quality from capture through output. And best of all, it runs on most commonly used computers, even notebook computers used on location.

* Perform nondestructive editing
Enjoy robust support for more than 150 camera raw formats, and experiment with confidence. Adjustments you make to images in Lightroom won’t alter the original data, whether you’re working on a JPEG, TIFF, DNG, or camera raw file.

* Enjoy an elegant, uncluttered interface
Ease the learning curve and be productive quickly. Task-oriented modules whisk you through typical workflow tasks by putting just the tools you need at your fingertips.

* Professional editing tools
Fine-tune your photographs with precise, easy-to-use tools for globally correcting white balance, exposure, tone curves, lens distortion, and color casts.

* Photographer profiles
Get inspired by documentaries of well-known photographers in the Lightroom Design Center.

* Lightroom/Photoshop Icelandic Adventure
Using the Lightroom, photographers uploaded, sorted, adjusted, and output their raw images while still working in the field.

* Project Photoshop Lightroom tour
Adobe brought the Lightroom beta to 25 schools across the U.S. See the work that resulted from the tour.

* Multiple viewing options
Quickly find and select your best shots with flexible display options like the Grid view for groups of thumbnails, the Loupe view for zeroing in on fine detail in a single image, or the Compare view for displaying two or more images side by side.

* Flexible organization of images
Bring order to voluminous image libraries by grouping your photographs in stored collections. Create collections for different tasks or subjects, and group similar images within a collection to organize them further.

* Manual thumbnail reordering
Put your images in the order that you need them for any particular task by selecting any number of photographs in your Library — continuous or not — and then simply dragging them to a new location on the Grid.

* Organize and compare your photos (SWF, 8:04 mins)
Keep your photo library organized. Lightroom makes sorting your photos a snap with preset and custom filters.

* Easy file renaming
Make your photographs easier to find and keep in sensible order using the Lightroom renaming feature. Simply set naming rules, and Lightroom automatically renames your images as they’re imported.

* Single or group metadata stamping
Organize and annotate your images by adding metadata to a single photo or to groups of selected images. Save metadata sets as presets, which you can apply with one click.

* Image versions without duplication
Create as many alternate versions of an image as you desire without overloading your hard drive. Then, switch between versions with a single click.

* IPTC/EXIF/XMP metadata support
Read, add, or edit a comprehensive set of metadata entries, including IPTC, EXIF, and XMP data.

* Metadata stamping on output
Stamp crucial metadata — such as copyright notification, captions, and keywords — on print jobs or exported images so you can search on it later.

* Keyword synchronization
Make keywords consistent even if you’re using Lightroom on two different computers by importing and exporting keyword sets to external, transferable files.

* Offline image management
Work with your image library in Lightroom even when some or all of the actual photo files are stored on offline media.

* Easy Library backup to CD/DVD
Help ensure the safety and preservation of your photographs by backing them up to CD or DVD using simple built-in tools.

* Simple keywording
Easily organize your photographs and make them searchable with keywords that make sense to you. Assign keywords to a single image or groups of selected images — just type and apply.
