Lightroom 3 Beta 2!

[epoh]

Available for downloading now! Adobe Labs - Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3

I can't wait to get home and install this. I am loving the first beta.

From the Adobe site:

New in Lightroom 3 Beta 2

* Improved performance throughout the application for faster importing and loading of images
* Native tethered shooting support for select Nikon and Canon DSLR cameras
* Luminance noise reduction has been added to the previous color noise reduction improvements available in the first public beta for outstanding overall high ISO quality
* Support for importing and managing video files from DSLR cameras for better overall photographic workflow control
* Improvements to the import experience in the first beta to reflect public feedback
* Improved watermarking functionality from the first beta to reflect public feedback

Still waiting for the full one to come out.

Can you run this beta along with the older version?

[utdbear]

Yes you can run this beta alongside LR2. You can't import from the LR3 catalog into LR2 however.

From what I can tell each version is independent and you can install multiple versions without issue.

I would imagine it will be at least several more months before the final version is available. Beta 1 had been around for quite some time.. I can't imagine they are going to jump from beta 2 to final very quickly.

what about plugins like portraiture?

Gonna download this. Been using LR3B1 for awhile and like it, but it has been slow and I get crashes alot when I close it. Also like that Luminance Noise Reduction will finally be active.
