Similarly to what they did for the launch of the first Lightroom, Adobe has introduced a beta program for Lightroom 2.0. The beta is designed to give photographers an early look at the program in its development process in order to get feedback for the final release. New features include localized corrections, dual monitor support, new printing functionality, and 64-bit support.
The beta will be available for 30 days for new Lightroom users while existing users can use the beta through the end of August by entering their Lightroom serial number. Existing users also have the ability to send invites to new users to enjoy the program for the duration of the beta. More information and a link to the download is available after the jump.
