Adobe Labs - Project: Lightroom BETA available for Mac

"Lightroom Beta lets you view, zoom in, and compare photographs quickly and easily. Precise, photography-specific adjustments allow you to fine tune your images while maintaining the highest level of image quality from capture through output. And best of all, it runs on most commonly used computers, even notebook computers used on location. Initially available as a beta for Macintosh, Lightroom will later support both the Windows and Macintosh platforms."

Looks like Apple inserting some healthy competition benefits all. Adobe is positioning this rival application against Aperture's high-end system requirements. This is a smart move, as many digital photographers spend more money on thier cameras than their computers...
