“Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder ", from this proverb it is clear that to make things beautiful thoughts are required and to make pictures beautiful, creativity is required. To assist and to work according to our creativity we have a lot of software. One of the best among them is Adobe Photoshop Family, which comprises of Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Photoshop Lightroom and Adobe Photoshop Elements. Adobe Photoshop Lightroom is an image management application database i.e. it helps us in all the needs like viewing, editing, managing and sharing pictures. Initially launched only for MAC-OS the first Lightroom beta version was one of the first adobe product released to general public for feedback. Furthermore updates were released in which it was both for MAC and Windows OS and the latest beta version was Lightroom BETA 4.1 released on October 19th 2006.
Then the version 1.0 of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom was released on January 29th 2007. But this had to be replaced soon as Adobe Lightroom Plug-ins or updates were not available for this, so not much later in July 2008 Version 2.0 for Adobe Photoshop Lightroom was launched and this time it had a lot of new features like :- localized correction, improved organization tools, multiple monitor support, flexible printing option, 64-bit support and version 2.0 had no problems regarding Photoshop Lightroom Plug-ins. Just another year again and version 3.0 of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom was released on October 2009 and this had exciting new features like :- New chroma noise reduction, Improved sharpening tool, New import pseudo module, Watermarking, Grain etc. This version of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom also had options for publishing the picture and printing it too which made it even more demanding.
Finally on March 2010 another beta version of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom was released which added features like :- New luminance noise reduction, Tethered shooting for selected Nikon and Canon cameras(This helped a lot for compatibility issues and was greatly appreciated), Basic video file support and Point curve. Both the releases of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom version 3.0 were highly appreciated and had awesome market response. The final version was released on June 8, 2010 although it did not have any new functionality added to it, It had added the lens corrections and perspective transformations and had a few more improvements and performance optimizations.
The best thing about Adobe Photoshop lightroom is that it basically focuses on the following features:-
