Digital shutterbugs will find this in depth review of Adobe’s recently released Photoshop Lightroom of interest. Since the success of Apple’s Aperture, professional shooters have been eagerly awaiting Lightroom’s release and, after extensive beta testing, the wait is over. Having put the application through its paces on a MacBook Pro CoreDuo 2.0 and a Dual G5 2.0, both running OSX 10.4.8, the reviewers at ars technica  give us their first hand impressions.

I  won’t be a spoiler and tell you their conclusions; those of you interested in pro-quality raw post production will want to read the entire review and decide for yourselves. Suffice it to say that Bibble, Apperture and Lightroom all have pros and cons but, at least for Windows users, Lightroom looks like a no-brainer.
