Adobe Labs has posted a beta version of Lightroom 2.0 for download. Some good resources are available on NAPP’s Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2.0 Learning Center.

More related links are available on John Nack’s blog. One that I find particularly interesting as a travel photographer is this link to Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Adventure 2008, Destination: Tasmania. “A dozen top photographers overcome the challenges of nature and technology on the assignment of a lifetime…”

In April, 2008, a group of internationally renowned photographers will travel to the end of the world, literally, to the remote island of Tasmania. Their mission is to road test specialized digital photography software designed by Adobe while capturing images from one of the world’s most mysterious and varied geographic locations.
Using Adobe Photoshop Lightroom, photographers will upload, sort, keyword, adjust, and output their Raw images while still working in the field.

Sounds right up my alley although I’m a little peaved that they are using a logo that’s very similar to one I designed in 1999 for a local redevelopment campaign (left). Oh well, they can make it up to me by offering me an all-expense-paid-plus-full-dayrate position on the next Lightroom Adventure. Seems only fair.
