Lightroom 3 beta has been completely improved to better handle growing image libraries and improve responsiveness with a higher-quality processing engine.

You can easily specify the source and destination of their images, and save common processing, metadata or destination settings as easy-to-reuse presets.

Adobe is trying to persuade photographers to test this selection of new features and provide the product team with their feedback.
The Library module allows to publish collections on popular photo-sharing sites. Flickr users now have direct access to their accounts from Lightroom and can drag and drop images directly into their Photostreams. This functionality can be extended to additional sites by adding them as new plug-ins once they become available.
The Develop module allows users to create highest quality images. Improved Capture Sharpening and color noise reduction tools and detail and contrast. A new Grain tool helps photographers to get a more natural look.
You can also export slideshows as videos with audio and title screens that can be posted to video-sharing sites or optimized for mobile media. Users can customize print layouts and save settings for future use, giving them refined control over their images.
