Many in the blog-o-sphere and beyond have claimed that Adobe Lightroom was written in reaction to the Apple Aperture. In ”The Shadowland/Lightroom Development Story” Jeff Schewe smashes that myth. Reality check applications like this take years to develop – not months. I’m astounded by how quickly Lightroom has evolved since its first beta.

Congrats to the Lightroom team. BTW what happened to the light table metaphor? aka Shuffle. I would kill to have that feature in Lightroom.
