I recently saw a few deals on the Adobe site.  If you buy Lightroom with CS3, you save $150.  or save $20 instantly with the purchase of Photoshop Elements and the purchase of a full or upgrade copy of Acrobat 9.

Or just look here to find all current special offers on Adobe products.

PS Express Review

The bottom line:

The bottom line: Though there’s a lot to like about Adobe’s first stab at online photo editing and sharing, you probably want to wait until the company fixes a few problems with the beta–and de-fangs its terms of service–before uploading scads of photos to Adobe Photoshop Express.

Online Photo Editor

Love it when I have easy access to an online photo editor that provides all sorts of nifty improvement options.

Aperture 2.0 or Lightroom 1.3?

Many folks are commenting on the release of Aperture 2.0. It seems to be well suited for most folks work flow while providing the tools necessary to create amazing compositions, sometimes when very little was there to begin with.

My favorite review so far has James Duncan Davidson providing examples from both Aperture and Lightroom with photos shot at high ISO settings (3200) to experiment how well each product handles the native noise at such high ISOs.

I prefer Aperture’s ability to reduce the graininess while still retaining rich colors. Which do you prefer?
