lightroom 1.0

[versionke]

Today, after nearly a year in public beta, Adobe's Lightroom 1.0 was released. I have to say, they made quite a few enhancements since the last beta version that was available (i.e. history, cloning, improved importing, filters on metadata, redeye reduction, etc.) If you purchase before April, you get it for $199. In April it jumps to $299. I used Apple's Aperture but it was never intuitive to me. I'd always find myself fighting with the app, getting frustrated, and dumping it and going back to Photoshop and Bridge ... perhaps this is due to years of using Photoshop? Lightroom on the other hand is almost second nature. I absolutely love it.
