Adobe answers Apple

For better or worse, Adobe's new pro photo application Lightroom will invariably be compared with Apple's Aperture. Adobe have a free beta version of Lightroom available but it needs at least a G4 to run (or a good Windows machine). No go on my trusty G3! It looks like a promising start though, from what I've read, and making it freely available in beta version until the planned commercial release in the middle of the year means plenty of input from folks all around the place with ideas on how to improve it.
