Brief Hands-On Report--Adobe released Photoshop Lightroom 1.1 Update

Adobe's Photoshop Lightroom 1.1 Update is available for download from this Adobe Web page. It is a free upgrade for existing users, with added functionality and support for Windows Vista.

Improvements in Lightroom 1.1 include a new image management system that allows flexible multi-computer workflows. A catalog-based system means photographers now can move images and information quickly between their computers. Lightroom 1.1 further streamlines the digital photography workflow with the addition of a convenient way to synchronize folders in the program with new or changed photos. Other changes include improved noise reduction and sharpening functionality, utilizing customer feedback and technology from industry-standard Photoshop. Raw file support for 13 additional digital cameras from leading manufacturers including Canon, Nikon, Olympus, and Phase One was added.

We downloaded and updated to Lightroom 1.1. Our serial number did not have to be re-entered. The conversion to a catalog database did not take an appreciable period of time since we only had a couple hundred photos in our Lightroom database. No problems were encountered in brief use. [Bill Fox]
