Quick review

The good
New features, quicker, more options, flickr support, no current information on whether you'll be able to export catalogue into full version
The bad
Can't currently import Lightroom 2 catalogue, Not the full package, Beta runs out in 2010
Verdict
Promising, but in its current state you'll find this is a weekend intrigue rather than your new favourite software package until the final version is released.

Comments

  • There is also a camera calibration mode now that allows you to try and correct chromatic abrasion, however this isn't an automated process like some software packages, which would be a really nice addition

    Have Adobe discovered something new, chromatic abrasion!!! Please lets get things correct. It is chromatic abberation.
