any opinions on this?
it looks very attractive…and it seems to provide a lot more control
it looks quite cool, does not support CMYK though wich is a bit of a pain.
Ill stick with Picasa for the meantime.
I downloaded the Beta from Abobe Labs a couple of days ago - totaly impressed 
Fast, flexible, atractive… I might get this instead of a CS3 upgrade?
my thoughts exactly!
its looking very promissing to me!
I used it for quite some time and it has very powerfull features, although compared to rawshooter it is very slow, I hope they have it fixed in the final version, they have bought rawshooter and their programmers so there is still hope.
mdi: if you can stick with picasa then I’m not sure you know what lightroom is, it’s only a program to convert/develop photos which picasa really isn’t. Also last time I checked a couple of months ago picasa had no cmyk support either, it could show cmyk images but they had VERY stange colors.

does lightroom support hdris and open exr’s?
dunno!
good point…can t find any info on adobe s site…
:roll:
Just tried to import an HDR… no joy… I guess that’s gonna be a reason to get lightroom and CS3 :roll:
pfffffff
(disapointment)
ahh well…
yeah, i know theres a fair bit of difference, but i only really use picasa for browsing and the ocational colour adjustment/sharpening etc…and yes, picasa cannot show cmyk accuratly, the colours are all out of wack it still shows them, lightroom does not even do that. Everything i do is for print, so its kinda not usfull as it could be sence it can only see 70% of the images I neet to adjust
