Still a BETA version
|
|
The release of Lightroom 2 Beta by Adobe appears so finalized and operational that we could forget that it is indeed a beta release. To be used for testing purposes, it is not guaranteed 100% operational. Thus, you should not transfer all your image library under Lightroom 2. This would be too risky to have a pretty bad surprise in the event of bug or corruption of the database on which you have spent hours or even days under Lightroom 1.0,1.3 etc (Image organization, Keywording, Adjustment of RAW files…). Adobe insists on the fact that this beta must be used for testing, but also to get users feedback and therefore to launch a completely mature application next summer.

Dual Installation of Lightroom
|

As of the installation, the precautions of use are essential: you should not uninstall the version 1 which is on your computer before installing LR 2.0 Beta. Moreover, Adobe Lightroom 2.0 Beta installs aside of your Lightroom copy. So you can import a small share of your photographs in LR2 in order to test it and let the main part of them in Lightroom 1.3.

Even if you are inevitably very impatient to use Lightroom 2, it will be necessary to keep in mind that this beta release is a version of test. However, Beta 2 will be able to serve as a splendid training ground to be completely operational on Lightroom 2 when it will be launched, in a few month.
