Adobe Lightroom 3 is available on the market. Lightroom 3 is my preferred workflow tool ans I would centrainly suggest you to try it if you can. There is a 30 day trial available at adobe.com.
Lightroom 3 offers a completely new performance architecture that deals much better with growing image libraries and includes a revised image processor with RAW noise reduction and sharpening tools. Lightroom 3 supports 64-bit and includes new features that improve workflow and enable sharing images in creative ways, including support for video files and tethered shooting on a few specific cameras.
One of the nicer features is that it allows automatic publishing to Flickr.. How nice .. It can automatically syncronize your flickr account and image folders.
