Adobe Announces Lightroom 3.5 Release Candidate

Adobe announced today that the Photoshop Lightroom 3.5 release candidate is now available. This update includes many new camera and lens profiles.

Photoshop Lightroom, the popular photo editing software for advanced amateur and professional photographers, gives users the tools to create, manage, and showcase their images.

According to Adobe, a release candidate "indicates that that this update is well tested but would benefit from additional community testing before it is distributed automatically to all of our customers."

Lightroom 3.5 includes support for twelve new cameras, twenty-six new lenses, and fixes twenty software issues. If you use a Mac, Lightroom 3.5 can be installed alongside earlier versions of Lightroom 3; on a PC, however, by default, Lightroom 3.5 will remove or overwrite your existing Lightroom 3 installation.

To get started using Lightroom 3.5 or for more information, visit the Adobe Labs website.
