What is upcoming in Lightroom 3?

The beta version of Lightroom 3 is out (called LR beta 2) and I must say that I was a bit blind sided with the tethering option that was added. For me it came out of the blue, but it was a very welcome addition. Sure there are programs that will allow you tether and you could just use Lightroom to monitor a folder and import as you shoot, but what about presets? The tethering option permits you to quickly select a preset to apply after you push the button.
One word on tethering. You do not get to see a preview on the back of the camera because it is not writing to the card. If you thought you didn’t look at the back of the camera all that much – wait until you use this and you will miss it.
Speed improvements and the addition of a stable video option is going to really affect how I use the program day to day. Though I don’t do a ton of video, it will really add that convenience of keeping track of client video files when I do take them.
Slideshow preview rendering is a another nice little bonus. I have to be honest. I don’t sell with Lightroom nor do I think that it is really strong in this area. But there are times where showing a slideshow in necessary. In LR1 and LR2 you had to remember to render the previews of the images before you hit play or it would hang up or stall. Now LR3 will not even start the show until it has the necessary previews rendered.
The goal here at JustAskLester is to get beyond the press release and the incredible detail to get to what matters to me as a portrait photographer.
