So everyone's picked up on Adobe's release of a
beta of Lightroom, a new pro app for photography workflows, and you can pick up a copy from Adobe Labs. I caught a rather interesting post on John
Nack's blog, however, that goes a bit more into detail and explains what they're really trying to do with Lightroom.
Sure, it's admittedly a competitor to Aperture, but would you expect anything less from the king of desktop image
editing and publishing?John delves into who Lightroom is for and what exactly Adobe plans to do with it. He also opens up the door for submitting feedback, emphasizing again the app's main function and the fact that they're not going to build in every little bell, whistle, button and feature they can think of. The post is a good read on Adobe's latest offering, and there's even a Lightroom introductory movie (link to mov file) that's also available as a podcast via iTunes.
[UPDATE: Lightroom, at present, only runs on Mac OS X. A Windows version is in the works.]

1. I am sorry for posting here, completely off topic. However I am trying to get the answer to a question with regard to photo's online and cannot figure out where to go. Can someone perhaps direct me as to where I can get the answer to the following question:
If I have a master photo and I go into the Microsoft WWindows program "Paintbrush" and black out data in the picture, a name, numbers, etc... Can someone else, far more skilled than I (which is easy to be) use some other photo manipulation program to then unblack or uncolor the areas I covered up? Or if I cover it and save as such, they can't do it? Please advise.
Thanks!
