One of the things that makes this weekend real fun for me is the 2nd Beta release of Photoshop Lightroom 3. It contains a ton of impressive improvements.

The speed increased, the luminance noise reduction is improved and a lot more. However, there’s the one new killer feature that I am really excited about. And that is shooting tethered directly into lightroom. A dream come true. OK, it is not 100% stable yet but it’s good enough for hobby shoots. The thing that I particularly like: On the tethered capture bar in Lightroom I can even select the development preset that lightroom applies to the photos I am going to shoot. And I can change it any time I want. Thank you, Adobe!
