After spending a few minutes with Lightroom 2.0 I want to give some of my impressions. Please understand that I have been using Lightroom since early BETA of 1.x. When I began using the application I was working exclusively on a laptop. That means multiple storage locations. I would only keep images on my local drive that I was currently working on. Everything else was archived to a secondary drive. Unfortunatly - Lightroom didn't officially support this feature so the Folders system was a little vague on where your images were being stored. The VERY FIRST thing I noticed when looking at Lightroom 2.0 was the expansion of the folders drop down that now includes Mulit-Drive support.
Now I have the ability to move files between drives for primary storage and archive storage. This is going to be a HUGE life saver for me. Not sure if this will be a big feature to anyone else (Ok, I say that in a little jest because I know others have asked for it or we wouldn't be seeing it here).
I'm not sure how much I am going to use it; however, now you can access collections (including smart collections) from the print tab. I guess this is for people who jump around a lot.

These are my initial impressions of version 2.0 from the 10 minutes I spend with it yesterday before work. I plan on doing a deep-dive this week and plan on posting something later this week that pulls some of the gems out. Stay tuned - have a great day!
