Not allowing a download

I'm looking forward to this release. I absolutely love Lightroom 2. The batch editing has saved me countless hours of labor and it's also helped me save a few very underlit photos.

The link is working now. Downloading. Thanks.

wow great! I have cs4 master, cant wait to try this! Thanks op!

Thx, OP! Tagging photos in LR2 right now . Just downloaded, will give it a shot.

Thanks OP!

I have been wanting to give LR a try. I know they have trials but thirty days is to short for me to get a feel for it.

This is pretty cool... but personally I prefer Aperture on the Mac.

I think the beta expires April 2010, more than 4 months.

What will happen when it expires? I cannot use it any more? Thanks.
