Software Preview: Adobe Lightroom 4 Beta

In the middle of a dry December, we attended an hour briefing on Lightroom 4 with Product Manager Tom Hogarty. We've been following Lightroom's development since its inception. With each revision our wish list shrinks. This time we checked off video and soft proofing, to name the two biggest new features.

But there's a lot more we're dying to test drive including some powerful new editing controls that simplify extending the dynamic range of your images and greatly improved photo book  creation that's tied into Blurb.com.

And that's still not all. See what else we checked off in our software preview while you're downloading the beta.
