The Future of Photoshop Lightroom

lightroom.pngPhotoshop Lightroom is the newest member of the Photoshop family. It is targeted towards photographers, and is a useful tool in organizing, viewing, and editing photographs. Thumbnails are easily viewed on Photoshop Lightroom, and the program can remember where files are stored on the computer. The thumbnails do not contain the information, but instead link to the files stored elsewhere on the computer.

Photoshop Lightroom is not meant as an alternative to Photoshop, and does not edit multiple layers, use adjustment layer mask, apply filters, or change the color mode to CMYK. It is also not meant to be an alternative to Bridge, since it doesn’t view images without first importing them to its catalog, and it isn’t able to read the wide variety of file formats that Bridge can read. Instead, it is a different type of software created especially for photographers. It can view images as fast as the mouse can move over the thumbnail, even when the files are stored on another drive.

So what will be the future of this program? Some photographers use the program to develop all their photos. They want to take full advantage of what this technology can do for them. Others don’t use a computer program to edit their photos. Still, others choose to use the program they already own. They figure they have used their current program for years and done well, and they do not feel the need to purchase additional software.

Many of the photographers that are using Photoshop Lightroom would like to see changes made and would like the program to be expanded, making it more effective.

According to Photoshop users, there are several things they would like to see added to Photoshop Lightroom. One of these is the ability for multiple users in a network to access the same library. Also, the ability to create photo books, like the ones in Photoshop Elements, would be useful. There could also be professional looking templates available. Many users would like to be able to make an image look as though when they took the picture with their camera, they shot the image in JPEG instead of Raw. Many would also like to be able to shoot tethered, and to be able to open the Lightroom file in Photoshop as a smart object.

If enough people want these features, and the developers at Adobe can find a way to implement them into the application, the next version of Photoshop Lightroom may include some of these features.

Omniture: The Adobe Spy?

Upon opening, Adobe applications ping what looks like an IP address: 192.168.112.2O7.net.  During the holidays, Adobe users began to notice this unusual sub-domain name and were suspicious.  The address didn’t match the numbering scheme used in their network, and they noticed the use of the capital “O” instead of a “0.” 


What seems to be an IP address is really the remote server, Omniture, Adobe’s web analytic vender.  Omniture is a client-based platform that uses JavaScript and users’ cookies to monitor the user, in order to provide them with current information.
Many users were offended when they discovered that their progress was being tracked, and felt like they were being spied upon.  Articles concerning the privacy of Adobe users spread throughout the web, and some users chose to disable their cookies.

According to Doug Millar, an adobe.com representative, there are only three things being tracked.  The first is on the welcome screen.  The Welcome screen displays current news and special offers, which is loaded by a swf file.  The swf file calls on the Adobe website to retrieve the up-to-date information.  This transfer is made possible through the technology of Omniture.  The user can prevent this information being sent by disabling the welcome screen.

The second thing being tracked takes place when Adobe Bridge’s home is clicked.  Flash Player and the Opera browser are used to load Adobe hosted content.  Omniture logs the user’s activity, making it possible for the new content to get from the Adobe site to the user’s application when the user needs help.  If the user prefers this information not be sent, Bridge home can be turned off.The third, and last thing, is when the user chooses to log onto online resources, such as Adobe Exchange under the help menu.  Again, Omniture logs the user’s progress, making this up-to-date information possible. 
Adobe addresses user’s concerns by stating no personal information is ever sent.  They say they don’t know why Omniture chose to use that sub-domain name, but plan to have Omniture change the name to something more self-explanatory.
