With Photoshop Lightroom 2.0, Adobe has smartly upgraded an already-strong product. For many photographers, the new Adjustment Brush and the advanced filtering capabilities will reduce the need to use external programs like Photoshop and Adobe Bridge, and are well worth the $99 upgrade price.
But what’s most impressive about the update is how smoothly it works with you to organize and edit your photos; by focusing on improving the little things, Adobe has made an already good program even more usable. It’s not perfect—it’s rare that a version 2.0 of any product would be—but Lightroom is well on its way.
Photoshop Lightroom 2 is available at an academic discount price of $98.
