Adobe image management Beta
Adobe is allowing professional photographers (Mac OS-X) to help design a new image management application called Lightbox. A Beta version is available and Adobe wants your comments.
The site is Adobe Lightroom Beta.
Lightroom is planned to integrate with CS2 and used along with Bridge or separately from it. I don't use Mac products, but have also had a look at Aperture, which is pretty sweet. I've wondered for the past few years why Adobe wasn't getting into the image management application business. Myself and other photographers have expressed our concerns with having to switch from Adobe to a third party application for in-depth image management capabilities such as keywording, grouping images for submissions, creating image catalogs/portfolios for print, CD, slide shows, or web, etc. It appears that Adobe has the capacity to do this now since their acquisition of Macromedia.
Anyway, check it out. A PC version is also in the works, but it will be out several months following the MAC version.
