Standalone application, and this release features support for
sending multiple photos at a time from Lightroom 2 to Noise Ninja. I’ve
also just added a new video to our FAQ that shows how to take advantage
of this new build and Lightroom 2’s enhanced External Editor support.” [Via Tom Hogarty]

“To celebrate the launch of LR2,” writes John Arnold, “I’ll be doing one tip per day for at least a week – probably 2 weeks.” You can check out John’s set of videos to date on PhotoWalkthrough.com. (I’m looking forward to checking out the entries covering graduated filters.)

The Adobe Design Center has posted Getting Started with Lightroom 2. In it Matt Kloskowski of NAPP offers a sequential set of 15 videos that take a brand new LR user through the basics of what Lightroom does and how to get started using it, while Adobe’s Julieanne Kost has posted a set of 3 videos that go over all that’s changed in LR2 (“Think of it as a Getting Started for upgrade users,” she writes).

* I suspect I’d be much cooler if named “Fernando Z.,” and I just may have to appropriate that handle (sorry, actual Fernando Z).
John: Having seen the great improvements in LR2, but being an old Photoshop user, I haven’t previously been using LR. Now I’m beginning to feel a little like the poor cousin–with ACR lagging way back. Can you say if ACR will be keeping up lockstep with the Develop Module potential of LR2?
[Yes, the plan is to offer the same editing features in ACR and LR. You can already display LR2 edits in ACR4 (in CS3). –J.]
Wow… Noise Ninja for LR2?! So awesome. I might not ever need PS again now… Wow!
Hello Jack,
Nice post on Lightroom 2.0 I upgraded to this, but have not used it much.
I did a shoot today in raw. Nikon D300 17-55mm 2.8 Nikor prime lens. I have to say, with the new raw update for CS3, I am getting some nice “stuff” without Lightroom 2.0 Granted I am a tech juckie, so I had to have it……
By the way, I found this nice gizmo app to load on you ipod or ipod phone. Its available at http://www.adairsystems.com
PhotoCalc is a utility for iPhone and iPod for photographers to calculate depth of field (DoF), exposure reciprocation, and flash exposure.
It was 3 bucks, and wow, its a pretty cool app.
I have no “dog in the hunt” with this company, so for what that’s worth.
Check it out…
Kind regards as always,
Ken from KY
John, any plane to let those NR plug in access the RAW file before demosaicing for a better NR?
Thanks.
Thank you! thank you! thank you!
