Quick announcement to let you know that Lightroom 2.0 beta is out and it’s delicious. Version 2.0 adds the long-awaited dual monitor support and adds the ability to do non-destructive photo retouches right inside Lightroom. The retouches don’t rely on plugins, are completely undoable at any time, unlike Aperture. Lightroom remains very fast and responsive. On my MacBookPro it still run circles around Aperture, even with dual monitor support. Unfortunately the beta doesn’t allow the use of Lightroom 1.x catalogs yet but it’s pretty straightforward to import photos in the new application. In case you didn’t catch the link before, click here to download the new public beta. This are very exciting times for photographers!
