Lightroom Neutrality
Lightroom Neutrality: Jeff Schewe's got detailed word here on the Labs release last night of early Lightroom for Windows, a photo workflow tool. The key section for me starts here: "So, just how close is the Windows version to the Mac version? Pretty darn close with a couple of features missing...." This is the first native-code Adobe tool which has been exposed so early in its development, and I think we're seeing some of the work for platform-neutrality which has previously been hidden behind the scenes. Adding to the difficulty here is the unpredictability of OS schedules... MacTel came earlier, Vista's coming later than expected... the dependencies for native-code apps make for tricky scheduling. But Adobe's work is to smooth over these differences between browsers, between operating systems, and increasingly between devices and form-factors... they do such work, so you won't have to. Anyway, Jeff's also got a ton of screenshots and workflow illustrations here... his article is a good overview towards the type of workflows that Lightroom assists with, if you're looking for a fast intro to the tool.
