Adobe ships Lightroom 2

Adobe announced today that Lightroom 2, a major update to their photography workflow app, is now available. Lightroom 2 will cost you $299, with an upgrade price of $99, but it includes a host of new features, improvements, and general whizbangery.

The biggest news for Mac users is that Lightroom 2 is Adobe's first native 64-bit app for OS X. Also new in Lightroom 2:

Libraries can span harddrives
Customizable print templates
Smart Collections to automatically organize photos

And much more. The Lightroom 2 Learning center has a nice list of new and improved features. And to help you Lightroom 1.0 users decide whether or not to upgrade Adobe has a comparison of Lightroom 1 vs. Lightrooom 2.

Lightroom 2 requires OS X 10.4 or above, and a 1 GHz G4 processor or better.

I can't remember how Lightroom 1 installed, but Lightroom 2 is via .pkg.

If CS4 is also via .pkg/.mpkg, Adobe-using Mac users of the world WILL rejoice.

Isn't this the whole point of FAT binaries...so users don't have to worry about the details? Weird.

Just a quick note on the native 64 bit option. You actually have to enable this by navigating to the executable and bringing up the get info dialogue. From there you can uncheck the 'open in 32 bit' option. Otherwise it runs in 32 bit mode.
