Photoshop Lightroom has proven to be a great asset to digital photographers. From the beginning Lightroom has been aimed at the digital photographer, offering up simple tools to aid the most repeated of Photoshop’s tools while keeping the interface simple and workflow logical. With Adobe’s latest release of Lightroom 2.0 (the upgrade from 1.0 is $99) the bar has been set quite a bit higher. Lightroom has become truly useful to the amateur and pro alike with this latest release so let’s look at some of the more prominent new features.
