Photo enthusiasts take note, as Adobe is rolling out the official retail version of Lightroom 3 today. Available as a public-beta since October 2009, the latest, official version of Lightroom features a brand new processing engine that improves performance and offers an enhanced, easier to use UI. Noteworthy features include: support for DSLR video files, improved noise reduction, lens correction and sharpening tools, and tethered shooting (with select Nikon and Canon cameras). Lightroom 3 is available for both Macintosh and Windows systems with a price point of $299; an upgrade licences retails for $99. You can grab a copy of this latest offering directly from Adobe today, or from a third party retailer in the near future.

    Good, useful pro/semipro tool.
    Still a little expensive.
    A small annual upgrade and boom!
    Another 100 bucks!

    Funny, their information on video support is rather scant. I can’t find any information on what exactly it can do besides download and store video. Can it integrate videos into slideshows? Because tha’ts a killer feature of Aperture 3 that I believe is not present in Lightroom 3. It sure wasn’t in the beta.

    Lightroom is great and useful for some things, but I think Aperture 3 has it beat in several compelling ways. (Books for one, video integration into slideshows, and some other things.) It’s a tough choice between the two. And that’s good news. Competition makes both get better.
