Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 1.0

Available for pre-order today, expected to ship in mid-February. $199 through the end of April, then the price goes to $299. I still think adding “Photoshop” to the name is silly, but in practical terms, Lightroom is clearly a worthy rival to Aperture, and is highly innovative both in terms of its UI and its programming architecture (with significant chunks written in the Lua scripting language).
