For all the budding photographers out there, Adobe has today released Lightroom Beta 3 for Windows (the Mac version has been out for a little bit). This program, like Apple’s Aperture, is a whole new approach to photo editing. I can’t elaborate a whole lot, as I’ve just downloaded it about 15 minutes ago myself, but rest assured, I plan to put it through it’s paces.
The download is available here:

Michael Reichmann has some info (though admittedly about Beta 1 for Mac) up on the Luminous Landscape here:

Keep in mind that this is a Beta version. However, I think the fresh approach to the processing of digital files is a most welcome change, and truly look forward to playing with the Beta version, and even more so to when the full retail version is available.
