Article Summary:

Adobe Labs have made their new Lightroom 3 Beta 2 application available for immediate download. The new beta includes (over the previous beta) improved performance, native tethered shooting for certain Nikon and Canon DSLR cameras, luminance noise reduction (in addition to color noise reduction), video import and management support, a new import experience, and more. Video import and management is huge because it puts at ease those folks threatening to switch from Lightroom to Aperture 3.

Julieanne Kost, whom some of you may know from early Digital Shootouts, is featured in a video that shows off new features in Lightroom 3 Beta 2.
