No big changes, but the application continues to mature. I hope they've fixed the bug where JPEGs have the EXIF Camera Time/Date stamp of the time you did the export from Lightroom, rather than the time you took the picture. I have to use <a href="http://www.acdsee.com" target="_blank">ACDSee</a> to fix all my photos after I export them and it's a bit of a pain.<br /><br />In other Lightroom news, Lightroom 2.0 is now in public beta - you can go <a href="http://blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjournal/2008/04/lightroom_2_beta_available.html" target="_blank">download your copy today</a>. The list of new features isn't exactly well-articulated, but <a href="http://www.outbackphoto.com/CONTENT_2007_01/section_workflow_basics/20080402_LR20Beta/index.html" target="_blank">this review</a> contains some of the highlights. Any current Lightroom users out there? What do you think of it? I'm currently using it to go through 2000+ photos from Japan and it's a very useful tool (though certainly it could use some improvements).
