I'm using the first beta but wonder how they will price the finished version. Adobe are not well-known for free stuff except the Acrobat Reader.

I have an x86 iMac and played around with Lightroom beta2 last night and it screams. Playing with ERF files seemed like I was playing with JPEGs compared to my old 1.25ghz iMac. It was incredibly responsive, and this is only an unoptimized beta. I'm sure it will benefit from hand tweaked assembly code once they complete the windows port.
From the 15 minutes I spent playing with it, the 'auto correct' functions _really_ work. I was able to take out some yellow casts due to poor lighting that took me hours to tweak within Photolier. It really does a good job with auto white balance.
On the flip side, it was doing some automatic things to my images that I did not like. I'm watching the thumbnails in grid mode and all of a sudden they all started changing. I had some nice outdoor pics with a nice deep blue sky that completely disappeared. Photolier does somethings right, and so does Lightroom. If I can find a way to get the Photolier look out of Lightroom I won't look back.
I'm stuck with PS7 at the moment and haven't played with CS2 and ACR. Is Lightroom an evolution of ACR, or does it just incorporate the ACR conversion engine?

I need Tiger. Badly. I'm pondering getting this, but I need three things first: more RAM, Tiger, and Photoshop CS2.
