Adobe ends the Lightroom 5 Beta and releases the retail product

Close-up view of a Dandelion — While I don’t like to find them in my yard, I do enjoy photographing Dandelions.

I woke up around 3:30 this morning and could not get back to sleep, but I was pleasantly surprised when I turned on my computer to learn that Adobe had released Lightroom 5 as a full retail product as of Midnight.

I have downloaded the 30 day trial and upgraded my catalog. I prefer to buy a hard copy of any software when possible, so I will use the trial until my physical copy arrives, and then just type in the serial numbers to register the trial version.

I did not play much with the Beta release, so i am glad to have a fully fledged product available now to take for a spin. So far, I am very impressed with the dust spotting assistance filter, that is the single best improvement I have noted, in addition to some welcome speed increases.

Headshots
I called Bob on very short notice for some pictures. I did not have any hard & fast rules so Bob’s direction and guidance was really appreciated. I felt really comfortable with Bob’s process; he & Julie helped to create a fun & casual atmosphere.
My pictures turned out just beautiful! Thank you, Bob. I’d recommend you to anyone.

Family Photos
My family and I would like to thank you very much for the beautiful photos of the family. The large family picture looks wonderful in our family room. The others we will put up in due time. It was a great experience and you and Bob were extremely professional.

Thanks again!

Creative Workshops
Bob does a excellent job of putting together creative meetup workshops from technical setups of your camera, composition, lighting, editing images, travel arrangements and accommodations. If you haven’t experienced a workshop with Bob, your missing the chance to expand your knowledge and creativity of your photography skills along with a fun time and interesting challenges and places to photograph.
