Adobe has been developing Lightroom for some time, a so-called image manager with which digital photos can be edited, sorted and processed in various ways. The operation of Lightroom is similar to Apple’s Aperture program. The first beta versions of Lightroom were only available for Mac OS X, but recently the third beta version is also available for Windows XP or later and includes the following note:
Lightroom Windows beta 3 is feature compatible with Mac beta 3. However, there are some exceptions and those features not included in Lightroom Windows beta 3 are listed below:
- web module
- Identity Plates
- Lights Out functionality
- Automatic detection of cameras and memory cards for import
- Music for Slideshows
In addition, it is important to note that:
- Printing color management is not optimized yet. While your images will print reasonably well, the color may be off.
- High ASCII and Double Byte support is not fully enabled.
- We have not reached our performance goals on Windows and continue to work on improving speed in all aspects of the application.
