Adobe today released a second release candidate for Lightroom 4.1.

Sharad Mangalick, one of the Adobe product managers for Lightroom, has written a [...]

Of course I have to have taken the time to keyword my photos first! Lightroom can search on more [...]

I'm a bit late in announcing this since I was busy last week with my creativeLIVE Lightroom workshop, but late last week Adobe announced the release of a Lightroom 4.1 "release candidate." With a release candidate, Adobe has tested the product internally, but is looking for the broader Lightroom community to further kick the tires before [...]
