History of Lightroom/Shadowland
Speaking of Lightroom, there's a great article posted over at PhotoshopNews.com by Jeff Schewe that details the beginnings of Lightroom (code name Shadowland).
Last week at Macworld SF, I ran into several people who swore to me that Lightroom was a quick reaction to Apple's Aperture announcement/launch at Photo Plus East in November 2005. These kinds of apps don't get built in a few months. They take years as evidenced by Jeff's article. Great story. I highly recommend it.
