On Thursday, March 1st, The entire Lightroom team staged an “online launch party,” which was presented as a thank-you celebration for the 10,000+ users who participated in the forums during the year-long public beta.

The party was presented using Adobe Connect technology, and was a first for the new Adobe hosted service with nearly 500 testers from around the world logged in. The 90 minute presentation was given by Lightroom team members from San Jose, San Francisco, Minneapolis and Seattle. VIP customers Jeff Schewe, Seth Resnick, Mikkel Aaland, Derrick Story and members of the National Association of Photoshop Professionals contributed to the photographs, slideshows, videos and demos presented to the testers. Special kudos go to Jennifer Stern and Jeff Schewe for organizing.

    It was a very nice release party. But some had very. very bad sound. Adobe is the “funnniest” company I know! ;) Thanks for all great applications.

    I enjoyed it very much, bar the aforementioned sound issues. Looking forward to the edited archive version.

    Congratulations for the software and the amazing party even if the audio was almost bad. I was wondering if there will be any ‘recorded’ version -with better audio – available…in the next future ;-) Thank you very much guys!
