      Hello Everyone,

       

      Well, I finally got my wish to download a Beta Version of an Adobe product, so

      I'll be writing whenever I find the time.

       

      I am writing from a novice point-of-view even though I have all versions of Lightroom to Date.

      I just don't have the time to spend on it! So if you find that I erred in my comment, or what I mentioned

      is incorrect.please correct my comment or advise where I might find the answer.

       

      I'll be writing whatever comes to mind - both good and not-so-good.

       

      So thanks for dropping by, and here goes.

       

      Thank you Adobe for letting me download the Beta Version of Lightroom 4.

      I've always wanted to download a Beat, and comment on it.

       

      1. Great to see a different shade of tone (dark gray) for the Icon.

           That makes finding it among my other version very easy and fast to open up.

       

      2. Like that highlights /shadows feature.

       

      3. How about in a Beta version highlighting or coloring the new features in the software?

       

      4. Your instructions for all of your software:

       

          Use more  photos and take small steps. A visual presentation with minimal narrative is much better for me, at least.

       

      5. The book feature:

       

          I decided to try this out this moring:

       

         a. I start out with a basic design, and then move my photos to the front cover and back cover.

              What happens? They don't fit, and there is no automatic help to fit the image to the frame!

              Surely, when a program is almost 700MB, can't you make the whole program more user-friendly to all users?

              I shouldn't have to start looking for help answers, and finding answers on the Net!

          

        b. Where or where is that Lightroom Beta Version 4 Manual?

             I downloaded what I thought was the 4 version, and there are no "B" entries, so I will have to return to Adobe and search again!

       

      That's it for now. Thanks for dropping by, and have a good morning, good afternoon, or good evening whereever you may be.
