Lightroom 4 Beta and Metadata

In case you have been asleep for the last week you may want to know that Adobe Labs has released a beta version of Lightroom 4.

I've been looking at how the software handles metadata of the images I've processed and must admit I've been impressed.

I would still like to see a larger box to input keywords and descriptions. And I think for high volume users with several photographers this may not be the best solution. But after a few test runs I think the ability to add metadata to images as well as the many post-processing features of the software make it a must have software program for the professional or semi-professional photographer.

Right now it's available for trial at: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/lightroom4/
