Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 1.1

Adobe released the update to Photoshop Lightroom 1.1. The RAW processing is now on par with Adobe Camera Raw 4.1 in Photoshop CS3. Importantly the DAM capabilities have greatly improved:

  • Libraries are now Catalogs and are portable.
  • DNG files can have their settings updated including embedded previews.
  • Virtual Copies are much better managed. This type of versioning is the future of DAM.
  • File handling is more transparent. You can synchronise (update) folders.
  • Metadata can store hierarchical keywords and snapshots (history) in XMP.
  • Batch keywording is easier with a "spray can" and can include other metadata.

This is probably the last free update to Lightroom before a major update next year.
