Lightroom 3 v2 Beta


OK. on Monday Adobe announced the release of the second version of the beta of Lightroom 3. Yesterday I downloaded it (download here). It automatically bumped Lightroom 3 v1 but kept all my pics and catalogs. Yay! (the beta also has no effect on full release versions you may have on your computer, ie. LR1.4 or 2). I haven't explored all the bells and whistles but there is one huge plus that I am thrilled about. They activated the luminance control under noise reduction. This is one of the best tools for controlling noise, evening out colors, smoothing skin, etc.

My understanding is that this version also allows for video management (but not video editing). I'm sure there's a bunch of other goodies under the hood. I'll let you know if I stumble upon any of them!
