Adobe Systems introduced new Lightroom beta on Monday, but there are some extra tibits further than what we assumed before. Firstly there is now Lightroom 3 beta 2 download site so you really try it. Then, there is useful video guide to new characteristics, forum discussion on new beta, and release notes.

Lightroom 3 beta look known to present users, but there are modifications in hood. Also Lightroom catalogs synchronized with Flicker. About characteristics, we knew about support for eating and managing of video, support for "tethered" shooting so PC handles camera and mechanically ingests photos as they are taken, revamped import dialog box, quicker image loading, and noise decrease developments.

First we have list of firstly supported cameras for tethered shooting. They are only from Canon and Nikon, two leading powers of SLR photography, but Adobe "look forward to including extra Nikon and Canon camera models going forward," Hogarty said.

Also new is renaissance of Lightroom 2's vignetting approach as option, information on video and video metadata handling, improved image watermarking, point controls in tone curve, and user interface modifies. Stay tuned for hands-on see new beta.

Lightroom, which utilized to edit, catalog, and print photos, is geared for fans and experts. It's mainly suited to managing raw images taken from camera's image sensor with no in-camera processing, technology that presents higher elasticity and quality than JPEG but less ease. Processing raw photos carry PC to its knees, however, particularly with high-resolution images, so performance is important in raw processing software.
