The public beta version of Adobe's Lightroom has been extended to the Windows platform. A trial version of the professional imaging workflow software can be downloaded at the company's website. A Mac version has been available for the past several months.
Lightroom aims to consolidate image-management capabilities with some of Photoshop's more basic editing functions, leaving Photoshop for more specialized tasks.
Windows-based photographers are being asked to assist with the development of Lightroom by testing this new beta download and submitting feedback to the company's forums. The company already boasts 3,000 beta testers for the Macintosh platform.
"A significant number of professional photographers operate on the Windows platform, and Adobe Lightroom beta is designed to support their workflow needs," Kevin Connor, senior director of product management for Digital Imaging at Adobe, said in a release. "We have over 3,000 beta testers actively participating in our Lightroom beta for Macintosh forums and we're looking forward to extending this invaluable dialogue to the Windows community. Cross-platform support gives us the unique opportunity to incorporate feedback from the entire photographic community, ensuring that everyone can participate in the beta process."
