Noise ninja, your days are numbered!
DXO, your days are numbered too !
Are you getting paid for this? If not, why post a non-canon-specific-not-a-rumor-just-a-press-release that has been posted ad nauseum everywhere else on the web?
Just sayin

Kinda valid point, but i saw it 1st on CanonRumours – so thanks for that CR guy.
If i got LR3 would i need elements for anything?
well it includes lens correction profiles, and canon make a big share of those lenses…:P so it is slightly connected;-)
I have been using DPP since I have Canon DSLRs, but when they announced the LR beta, I decided to give it a try. The usability is superior, and I like the possibilities regarding tagging, searching by metadata etc. But I am still not sure if the IQ really is better than with DPP. Most of the time I end up with better sharpness, but at the same time I am also left with a tad more noise.
So, should I really shell out the money for LR3, or stick with DPP? Problem is that I am afraid that this will force me to upgrade LR over the next years as soon as a new LR version comes out and when support for future DSLR models is only added to the new LR versions. How has that been handled in the past? Can you still use,e.g., LR1 with a 7D if you are happy with the features LR1 gives you?
I saw it first here too. I don’t spend all my time surfing the internet.
Its now on order, and downloading.
Lightroom 3 pretty much includes everything you need to edit images. however, photoshop still has some advanced tools that are not in lightroom, so I upgraded from CS2 to CS5.
I also updated my pc from a core 2 quad processor to a I7processor with windows 7 64bit and 8GB memory. The beta bogged down my current pc. The beta runs none too fast on my new pc, which also has a Kingston 128mb solid state drive for startup and program files.
I hope they have speeded up the final release. Lightroom 2 runs fast and uses little memory on my existing pc.
A upgrade costs $99, so its not a bank breaker. if you buy a new $$$$ Camera, and it requires a upgrade, just consider it part of the price of the camera.
Unless they issue a version 4, upgrades to add new cameras will be free, so when you buy that 1DS MK IV this fall, it will be a free upgrade.
I just installed LR 3, and then transfered a image to photoshop CS5 for further editing to check resource usage. My existing PC has 3GB, and only 26mb was left free.
I will definitely need the 8gb in my new computer. I’m loading software on it for the next 2 or 3 days and getting it configured, and then it will be my main pc.
“Free” memory isn’t necessarily what you think it is. Depending on your OS, you probably have a bunch of “inactive” memory that hasn’t been used recently, but from which data can be reclaimed. Watch your paging rates — if you’re not doing a lot of page-ins and page-outs, then chances are that you’re not significantly limited by what you have.
I find no indication that LR3 adds focus point display — still a glaring omission.
Of course he’s getting paid for it. he runs ads on the site. If it was canon rumors only it would be very sparse at times. Filling it up with camera related news is A-Ok, keeps visitors coming, keeps eyeballs looking, keeps the cash rolling in.
Don’t worry about it. Why are you so worried about how someone runs their blog anyway.
I read on the Adobe Lightroom forum that the focus point display info is proprietary info that Canon doesn’t provide to 3rd parties such as Adobe.
A glaring omission, but one that Adobe might not be able to address.
Is there a student version available?
Lightroom sucks~
Okay, time to fire up the trial. Anyone had LR2 upgrade/migration issues?
Yes, there is a student edition available for $89 through Adobe’s education site. Parents can even order for their K-12 student children. That’s my plan.
How come Aperture has it? :)
