While Mac users have been able to try out a beta of Adobe’s Lightroom photography software for the past six months, Windows users have had to watch from the sidelines. This has changed today, as Adobe has released a Windows version of the beta.Lightroom, like Apple’s Aperture, is an environment for quickly managing and processing groups of photographs, using the workflow of a professional photographer as its starting point.Lightroom combines features and technologies from a number of the applications within the Creative Suite. The majority come from Photoshop’s Camera Raw plug-in and the Adobe Bridge asset manager, though other parts have their heritage in the InDesign and GoLive layout packages.

More than 120 RAW file formats are supported by Lightroom, including those from recent releases including Canon’s EOS-30D, Epson’s R-D1s, Olympus’s E-330, Leaf’s Aptus 65 and Aptus 75 camera backs.Lightroom beta 1.0 for Windows requires Windows XP SP2. The recommended minimum specs are a Pentium 4 processor with 768MB of RAM. -Digit staff, Digit Magazine UKCheck out our CIO News Alerts and Tech Informer pages for more updated news coverage.
