One year ago this morning at 12:01 AM Eastern Time, Lightroom 1.0 hit the streets, or Adobe.com at least, for the first time.  Lightroom isn’t the only Adobe product that shipped on February 19th. The Camera Raw plug-in was first released as a plug-in for Photoshop 7.0.1 on February 19th 2003.  And to the best of Thomas Knoll’s recollection, Photoshop 1.0 shipped on February 19th, 1990.  Jeff Schewe over at Photoshop News has compiled a great list of "Where were you<\/a>?" on the launch dates of Photoshop 1.0 and Lightroom 1.0.  It’s a fun read and Jeff is encouraging readers to add their own whereabouts on those dates. I also looked back at some of the articles surrounding the launch of the Camera Raw plug-in in 2003 and Uwe Steinmueller’s February 19th review <\/a>is still available on www.outbackphoto.com.  I had to chuckle when I read Uwe’s reference to "…the impressive list of cameras supported right now." That list only highlights about a dozen cameras of the close to 30 cameras supported with the first version of the plug-in but it’s worth noting that 5 years later we’re supporting over 180 camera raw file formats.  How’s that for impressive? (Insert shameless plug for DNG here<\/a> given the rapid growth in
\nproprietary
\nfile formats.)  
\nIt’s been an incredible year for the Lightroom team with significant adoption<\/a> and several updates to address the needs of our customers.
\nAs noted on this blog earlier<\/a>, we’re excited about the future even if it doesn’t necessarily take place on a February 19th.
