The current Lightroom 3 public beta will expire on April 30, 2010

The delivered product will probably be some time around the same time frame.

I had to quit playing with it, it was too hard to keep going back to 2.6. The new sharpening is so good that my 2.6 images pale in comparison, which I used to think were just fine...

The only people who truly know are not in a position to say, at the moment. The most that can be said is simply that it will ship when it is ready.

That's a wonderful quote, Eric! The Microsoft version should probably go like this: "The most that can be said is simply that it will ship when it is almost ready."

Yup, I like that quote too, Eric.  Those who know can't say, and those who say, don't know.

Remember that any non trivial software only exists in two states - just started and nearly finished

Any chance there will be a patch to the beta prior to the official release?

As expected, there are tons of bugs ... but I think I could use it full-time with one good patch.

Most of my issues relate to dates.

I'm quite happy with 2.6 until 3.0 is ready.

Really ready.

With soft-proofing.

Me too! I'd rather wait six more months rather than getting buggy/unfinished software. So far, 2.6 has been very stable and although I'd like to have softproofing and other goodies, LR 2.6 has never been a bottleneck in my workflow.

Understood. The LR team is rather serious about getting the kinks worked out, too. The reliability/consistency aspect of it is not being taken lightly.

I suggest we get Schewe to do hits Orson Wells imitation of “we will sell no wine (I mean software) before its time“.

Jeff’s got a better shirt collection.

Orson Welles couldn't drink it either, at least according to wikipedia. (Phew! Reassuring to know he hadn't such a bad taste, in a way)

Ain't gonna happen, bud..

Leopard (10.5.8) and MacIntel will be the minimum Mac/OS X requirements for LR 3.

Seriously, get used to the fact that applications will need to adopt current (recent) system API's and hardware specs.

Tiger is simply too old to even be considered to be supported.
