Move over Aperture, here comes LightRoom

In a move that heats up the "raw & etc-workflow-for-the-pro" market to hellish levels, Adobe will soon announce their new program "LightRoom" to the world. Squarelly aimed at Apple's illfated (in the reviews) Aperture, Lightroom will do the same AND more, plus having a tighter (and correctly working) intergration with Photoshop. In Essence, "LightRoom" will be like Adobe camera raw & bridge on steroids. Not wanting to see the gargantuan sucess of Apple's Final Cut pro video editing software to be repeated all over, and this time in the field of digital imaging, Adobe's core market, the move caught alot of industry people by surprise. Availability will initially be as a free demo, and only for the OSX plattform (another hint at the Apple antagonism), but soon a Pc version will follow too. Aren't these exiting times we live in?
