Lightroom 2.0
July 29, 2008The big buzz today is the release of Adobe Lightroom 2.0. I’m not going into details about the software, there are better blogs out there (*cough*Scott Kelby*cough*) so I leave it up to them.
I do want to say I feel again ripped off. An upgrade in the US will cost $99 dollar (VAT might apply, depending on location). An upgrade from the Netherlands will costs 118 euro (incl. VAT). Without VAT it would be 99 euro.
Somehow I figure Adobe as the wrong conversion rate for dollars to euros. The last time I checked (1 minute before writing this post) it wasn’t 1:1 but more like 1 dollar equals about 0.65 euro. What can I say? It sucks, but I’ll be upgrading anyway.
