#Adobe photoshop lightroom 4 full version

Overview of Lightroom 4įor the truly uninitiated, I am going to recommend that you take a look at my primer on Lightroom 3, because everything that was said there about workflow still holds true.

But before you start thinking “Well, it’s not that great…”, let me start off with that “price of admission” point: Lightroom has fallen to HALF of its original price, making it $149 for the full version or a whopping $80 for the upgrade… This article will let me do about half of that, at least.

And I’d about give my front teeth to say it’s worth the price of admission to get to use its new features. I would love to tell you that the export plugins (particularly to Web) have become more powerful, that annoying niggles of the UI and external editor interfaces (really, do I require EVERY edit to be a 100MB TIFF file?!) have become more robust and configurable for your workflow. I’d like to tell you that this has changed tremendously with the March 2012 release of Lightroom 4. After all, that beta was released in January of 2006 – four years prior to the release of LR3, and many of the problems that existed at the outset existed in that version as well.

At the time, I had enjoyed a lot of what LR3 had to offer, but as a user since the LR1 beta, I found myself a little frustrated by the lack of changes.

It seems like it wasn’t even all that long ago that I was writing about Adobe having released Lightroom 3, a product that the company had been aiming squarely at professional photographers and pro-sumers.
