The Veil is Parted

Looks like we parted the veil this past week. Scott Kelby visited San Jose and got an NDA'd look at Lightroom 2.0...

His response: …it’s going to make a lot of people very happy! (Myself included).

Just about a week ago, I stumbled upon Scott Kelby's wish-list for Lightroom 2.0 and forwarded it to the team for comment. Of course, we've been hard at work on Lightroom 2.0 for awhile now and we've done an incredible amount of research/work on where it needs to go. We take our customer's needs seriously and have our fingers in all kinds of places to make sure we are accurate and focused. Software development, for those of you not in the know, is an incredibly complex process and this team is the best I've seen at really doing the right thing, at the right time, for the right people. Nothing on the list was new, and certainly nothing hadn't been debated hotly in the last 6 months.

The upside to all of this is that it is a heady, wonderful time to be a photographer (as Scott points out in his blog today) and nowhere is it better than on the front lines developing software to make photographers more effective, efficient and their work shine more - all with less computerese and the peripheral crap for which the software world is famous. Man, I love my job.

Here is a post, from our own Tom Hogarty on the Lightroom Journal regarding this...
