Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2.0 Beta Released

Adobe has released version 2.0 of Photoshop Lightroom (beta release). Looks like some exciting new changes including:

• Smart Collections
• Dual-Monitor Support
• Localized Editing (and, apparently, nondeconstructive dodge and burn)
• Suggestive Keywording
• 64 Bit support for Macs running OS 10.5

Lightroom 2.0 beta is available as a free 30-day download. Existing Lightroom 1.0 customers will be able to test the beta for an extended period until August 31, 2008 and can invite friends to take part in this trial period.

I’ll follow up with more as I get some play time in! Please feel free to comment with your thoughts.
