I’m a huge fan of Lightroom so this news brings a huge smile to my face! Adobe today announced the release of Photoshop Lightroom 3 for Mac and Windows, the latest version of its professional photography software, with new features such as support for DSLR video files and tethering shooting on selected cameras.
Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3 has a completely redesigned performance architecture that Adobe said better handles growing image libraries and provides a superior raw processing engine with noise reduction and sharpening tools. The new 64-bit capable software also has new features to optimize workflows.
“There have been over 600,000 downloads of the Lightroom 3 public beta, which has supplied us with a huge amount of valuable feedback from a passionate community of professional and advanced amateur photographers,” said Kevin Connor, vice president of product management for Digital Imaging at Adobe.
“The open dialog we have with our customers allows us to further improve Lightroom and provide the best tools they need to produce high-quality images. We’re happy to see that so many people are anxiously anticipating the final release, so they can start taking advantage of all the new features they had a hand in developing.”
Available now for both Windows and Mac on the Adobe store, Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3 has a retail price of $299 for new users, and $99 to upgrade. Recommended system requirements are Mac OS X 10.5, Mac OS X 10.6 with Intel-based processor, Windows 7, Windows Vista, or XP with Service Pack 3.
