Lightroom Beta 3 is out!
I really enjoy using Lightroom 2, but recently I have been using it primarily for images that I have exported to targa after developing the NEFs with Nikons Capture NX2. I just find I get much better results using Capture and it’s way faster on my old 2003 MAC. In order to handle this sort of workflow I have two directories set up, identical directory and sub-directory structure but one fo strictly for NEFs which is where NX2 and Nikon View look, and the other is strictly for Lightroom 2 to use. I never liked having all those sidecar files Lightroom writes out so I avoid this by never importing NEFs into it, just exported TGAs and JPGs. I know it’s a bit more work but I feel its worth it. All though when I come home from a family vacation with 2000 JPGs they go right into LR and stay there!
