It All Begins With Your Computer

Yes, it really does begin with your computer, not your camera! If you scroll down just a little, you'll see a white box. In the white box, I've provided easy-to-follow instructions on setting up your computer... Just click 'print' and then follow the instructions for your operating system (XP or Vista). Then return here!

Adobe Lightroom Beta 3 - Free Download

I LOVE Adobe Photoshop's Lightroom! It's a digital darkroom created by photographers for photographers - both serious amateurs and professionals. For anyone that takes a lot of pictures (I'm thinking about the Martins, Sewells, Fegals, Brinckleys, etc., you know who you are...) it's a must-have, can't-live-without, make-your-life-easier software program! For more information see my in-depth blog below.

For example, I just finished a wedding recently and imported over 1200 pictures - at once - into Lightroom. In less than 10 minutes, they were loaded and ready to be tweaked. I could never get Photoshop to handle that many photos open at once.

Adobe is currently running a beta test for Version 3. This means that ANYONE can download it and give it a try! I can't wait for the new version! If you love it, I would wait to purchase it until the regular version comes out. I started with version 1 and it wasn't upgradable to Version 2...I had to purchase Version 2 outright again. I'm hoping this will not be the case with Version 3, but you never know!

I'd love to know your thoughts on Lightroom if you currently use it and if you decide to give the Beta Version a try, please let me know what you think!
