Ad0be Photoshop Lightroom software is a digital darkroom and efficient assistant designed for serious amateur and professional photographers. With Lightroom, you can organize, enhance, and showcase your images all from one fast and nimble application that’s available on Macintosh and Windows® platforms.
* Manage your growing photo collection in a visual library that makes it quick and easy to organize, find, and select your images. * Get the absolute best from every shot—whether raw, JPEG, or TIFF—using state-of-the-art nondestructive editing tools. * And when you're ready, showcase your images with the impact they deserve using customizable print layouts, powerful slideshows, web gallery creation tools, and connection to online photo sharing sites (may require third-party plug-ins).
Some of the new features included for you to play with in the Lightroom 3 beta are:
* Brand new performance architecture, building for the future of growing image libraries * State-of-the-art noise reduction to help you perfect your high ISO shots * Watermarking tool that helps you customize and protect your images with ease * Portable sharable slideshows with audio—designed to give you more flexibility and impact on how you choose to share your images, you can now save and export your slideshows as videos and include audio * Flexible customizable print package creation so your print package layouts are all your own * Film grain simulation tool for enhancing your images to look as gritty as you want * New import handling designed to make importing streamlined and easy * More flexible online publishing options so you can post your images online to certain online photo sharing sites directly from inside Lightroom 3 beta (may require third-party plug-ins)
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.
Awesome, thinking about starting a side photography business and need to weigh my options for software. Tried DxO Optics and now I can try Lightroom since I'm currently working off Photoshop CS2. Thanks, OP!
for casual user wanted to be legal maybe try opensource

When it expires and you want to use it only once and a while (not enough to buy it), you can just reset your computer system date back to the date of installation and it still will work.
