Jeff Carlson has been watching the developments from Adobe MAX, with a special interesting in the evolution of Lightroom, and the angst that followed some of the announcements. He details the capabilities of the various flavors of Lightroom, explains why you don’t need to be worried about the “classic” moniker attributed to one of those flavors, and compares it to some of the alternatives that are on the market. Jeff talks about why Lightroom has developed into something of a standard, and teases us with an upcoming project that fits right in with the controversy.

Kelly Guimont is a longtime Apple geek, sitting down (on a telephone book) in front of an Apple IIe in 1983. She can still hear the ticking of the ImageWriter. Thanks to the miracle of the adjustable leg desk, she no longer needs the phonebook. Kelly writes for The Mac Observer, is co-host of The Aftershow, makes regular appearances on the Daily Observations Podcast and the British Tech Network and yet still has more to say which she saves for Twitter.
