{ Lightroom 2.0 adds some welcome features }
Well, there goes $99.
But really it’s money well spent. Lightroom 1.x saved us loads of time, and 2.0 only adds to the time saving with the adjustment brush and welcome features like the export to panorama, layers, smart object or hdr. And incredibly the vignette now works post-crop (seriously though, was that no-crop vignette annoying or what?).
Also I’d be remiss not to point out that Adobe is also offering camera profiles and DNG editor to create your own profiles for free download here (h/t Thom).
Two caveats though:
- these are beta
- the included Nikon profiles aren’t the exact profiles but attempts at copies of them.
I don’t see huge differences if at all when comparing the profiles in Lightroom 2.0 (via the calibration panel) versus Capture NX2 (which one would assume, exactly emulate the on camera profiles), but others may. Either way, very cool of Adobe to offer these up, and at the very least it should help blur the discrepancy between what you see on camera and what you see on screen.
Well, back to Lightroom 2.0
