After watching the video demo on Lightroom, it is pretty clear that Adobe has just fired a MAJOR shot across the bow at Apple. This app is aimed squarely at competing directly with Apple’s Aperture. To add insult to injury, Adobe has released a FREE BETA and get this, for MACINTOSH USERS ONLY. Hmmmm, I detect a little hostility here and if I didn’t know any better, Adobe has just officially gone to war with Apple. Gonna be an interesting year.
