Adobe Lightroom 1.3.1

Adobe has released another update to the incredibly popular and one of my personal favorites, Adobe Lightroom.

Updates includes issues encountered with FTP, some module errors, corrections when importing RAW files and Canon 1Ds Mark III, Nikon D3, Nikon D300, Olympus E-3.

We didn’t quite hit the 1.5 version as I had predicted, but we aren’t too far off. Adobe has developed a pretty solid user base with this new version and I’m sure Christmas will bring quite a few new users on board. I expect Adobe is busy putting version 2.0 together which I think we will see in the not too distant future.

As I mentioned previously I am becoming more of a fan each time I use Lightroom. I still think DxO has a place in my workflow, but with the excellent tools Lightroom has to offer I wonder how much longer DxO will be in my toolbox. I can’t say it will be completely replaced, but without any real lens support it really only has the shadow/highlight recovery and RAW import features. Lightroom is well on its way to being a full featured replacement.
