Lightroom 3 beta released

Adobe released the latest beta version of Lightroom last week.

It is available for free download at Adobe labs here

My initial impressions are that the major changes over 2.5 are "under the hood". In terms of usability, there is a much improved import interface, the ability to export to Flickr etc direct from the library, and much beefed up noise reduvtion (for all thes new high ISO camers!)

I notice that Jeff Friedl is re-writing his excellent export plug ins-this should improve 3's functionality.

I know lots of people use LR on here, it would be great if we could share impressions and ideas on the new release.
