When Adobe Photoshop Lightroom was announced last January, Adobe offered Lightroom for special introductory pricing of US $199. That special pricing is due to expire midnite, April 30th, 2007.

Which means, if you wish to get Lightroom, get it within the next week or it’ll cost you US $100 more.

If you are a student (or an instructor) you can buy Lightroom for the educational pricing of only US$99-and that discount does not expire.

To check to see if you meet the qualifications to receive educational pricing, check this Adobe informational page. Educational pricing also applies to Photoshop CS3 upgrades and full version purchases.

One of the more hotly debated (and perhaps useless) debates surrounding the Creative Suite 3 announcement and release was the “face lift” Adobe gave the CS3 product application icons.

Scott Kelby, on his Photoshop Insider blog has revealed that The “Photoshop Guys” are holding their first photography contest called: “The Photoshop TV Shopping Spree at B&H Photo”. UPDATE: here’s the link for the contest.
