Adobe Lightroom 2.0 Final Version
geschrieben am 29. Juli 2008 von Pia Kleine Wieskamp
Scott Kelby schreibt in seinem Blog www.scottkelby.com: ”OK, now that Lightroom 2, the real final version is now shipping. Congratulations to the Lightroom Team at Adobe for delivering such a kick butt product!!!! I’m psyched!”
Scott hatte eine “Wunschliste” auf seinem Blog veröffentlicht – mit den Wünschen, die er und seine Leser gerne als Verbesserung an Lightroom sehen würden.
Aufgrund dieser Liste testet er nun Lightroom und zeigt, was er vermisst und was an Lightroom 2.0 “hot” ist.

Und auf verschiedenen Online-Portalen finde ich die Pressemeldung von Adobe:
“Photoshop Lightroom 2: Smarter, Faster and More Accurate
The enhanced Library module in Lightroom 2 helps streamline and accelerate photographers’ workflows. With the ability to visually organize images across multiple hard drives, Lightroom 2 and its powerful Library Filter Bar makes it easy for users to quickly find the images they need. The Suggested Keywords feature helps photographers keyword their images by making intelligent suggestions based on their own previous efforts. New dual-monitor support allows users to expand their workspace, giving them flexibility to edit and organize images in a way that maximizes an additional display. In the Develop module, the new Local Adjustment Brush lets photographers fine-tune specific areas of an image to precisely adjust color, exposure and tonal range without affecting other areas of the image. The new Graduated Filter expands the toolbox in Lightroom, allowing for edits to larger areas by applying gradually diminishing or increasing adjustment effects such as exposure, clarity, and saturation, alone, or in any combination. Lightroom 2 also helps photographers print more efficiently by quickly arranging photos of multiple sizes on one or many pages with flexible and customizable templates to maximize paper and ink. Intelligent algorithms automatically determine optimal sharpening for screen or print, producing crisper images faster. [...]
‘One of the big reasons why Lightroom has become such a phenomenon among serious photographers is that Adobe built it with the input of a very vocal user community,’ said Scott Kelby, president of the National Association of Photoshop Professionals (NAPP). ‘Adobe really listens to the issues and challenges today’s photographers face and they’ve built a complete solution that not only meets the needs of photographers; it really feels like it was made just for us. The enhancements to Lightroom 2, combined with the power of Photoshop, give photographers the ultimate freedom to produce professional images quickly.’
Pricing and Availability Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2 is available now through the Adobe Store at www.adobe.com/store in English, French and German with the Japanese language version planned to be released at a future date. The estimated street price is USD$299 for new users with an upgrade price of USD$99 for registered users of qualifying Lightroom customers. [...]“
Scott Kelby und Matt Kloskowsky haben ein neues ‘Lighroom 2 Learning Center’ Portal eröffnet, auf dem sie neue Videos zur aktuellen Lightroom Version zeigen. “Matt and I do an overview of what’s new in Lightroom 2, and we also have created separate video segments for each of the major new features (and a special feature on little improvements and cool little tweaks).”
Auch auf der deutschsprachigen Site von Adobe sind die neuen Features von Lightrooom 2.0 beschrieben! Laut dieser Site optimieren Sie Ihre Fotoverarbeitung von der Aufnahme bis zum fertigen Bild. Mit Lightroom 2 verbringen Sie weniger Zeit am Computer und mehr Zeit hinter der Linse.
