So everyone's picked up on Adobe's release of a beta of Lightroom, a new pro app for photography workflows, and you can pick up a copy from Adobe Labs. I caught a rather interesting post on John Nack's blog, however, that goes a bit more into detail and explains what they're really trying to do with Lightroom. Sure, it's admittedly a competitor to Aperture, but would you expect anything less from the king of desktop image editing and publishing?

John delves into who Lightroom is for and what exactly Adobe plans to do with it. He also opens up the door for submitting feedback, emphasizing again the app's main function and the fact that they're not going to build in every little bell, whistle, button and feature they can think of. The post is a good read on Adobe's latest offering, and there's even a Lightroom introductory movie (link to mov file) that's also available as a podcast via iTunes.

[UPDATE: Lightroom, at present, only runs on Mac OS X. A Windows version is in the works.]

While we like to follow Photoshop here at TUPW, it never hurts to keep tabs on similar or competing products. That said, it looks like an enterprising blogger has jumped at the release of Aperture and started up a dedicated blog by the name of ApertureTricks. The blog is still fairly fresh so there isn't a boatload of information there yet, but they're covering the typical tips, addons, news, tricks and support issues you'd expect. If you've picked up a copy of Aperture, this might be a handy, dedicated information source to bookmark.
