just looked at the specs........think I will be needing an upgrade on the old puter before I give that a try!!
i try also to run aperture and my pc its just way too slow

mooreeeeeeeeee raaaaaaammmmmmmm
Looks like a great product for many photographers. This will put Capture One out of business, unless they can really step up their offering.
I really like Lightroom - glad you guys in PC land can now try it out Wink
Good news for my PC-equipped friends -- Lightroom Beta 4 is out, and now has feature-parity with the Macintosh version.

I tried out Beta 4 just a few minutes ago, and it's a major change. It runs faster, has a downgraded (windows-esque) interface, and has increased the control over the exposure and development. (This is another program that is going to make many, many authors a lot of money.) I'm already rolling my pennies to buy the commercial release. I'd never spring for Photoshop, but this one I'll buy as soon as it comes out.

[rant] Calling it "Photoshop Lightroom" is a bad move, though -- if it doesn't have a Clone tool, it's not photoshop. I understand the idea of branding, but this is such a powerful stand-alone application that tagging it with the name of a graphic designer's program, even one that's become a standard for photographers, does it a disservice.

Wow, great link. Thanks Jules. Why didn't I hear about this before? Doesn't matter. I wouldn't have been able to use it anyway with the old pc.
Iv been using LR since beta 1, and i aint gonna stop now. Big Grin

As for the name, i agree. Simply lightroom was much better.
