PowerBook Can’t Run Aperture? Give Lightroom a Try

Lightroom I’ve been somewhat keeping up with Lightroom but haven’t really given it the attention it deserves. I’ve finally got around to giving it a closer and really like what Adobe is doing with it. In my opinion, it’s the most Mac-like application Adobe has developed. It feels like it was designed for the Mac yet keeps its own identity or feel to it — instead of completely relying on Apple’s or their own UI precedents.

Here’s a few reasons why I think it’s worthwhile for just about everyone to try Lightroom out:

  1. It’s intended for people with Digital SLR who already are or may want to start using camera RAW.
  2. Since Lightroom is a public beta, it’s essentially free for a limited time while Adobe solicits development feedback.
  3. It actually runs fine on a PowerBook G4. For some reason I didn’t think it would but I was pleasantly surprised to find out it runs just fine on my li’l champ, a 12″ PowerBook.
  4. Oh, and now with the new beta, it natively runs on Intel-based Macs as well.

So go download a copy of Lightroom beta 2 now and see for yourself.
