Seems like it - but then I always understood the LE version would come first.

Looks like some nice new features - compare different varients of the same image, new adjustment tools including shadows and highlights and a rotation tool. Looks like it will cut down some more Photoshop time at any rate

Took a browse of the video clips.

I suppose all RAW converters basically do the same thing so it is not unexpected that some of the new features are very similar to those in Adobe's Lightroom.

Chris - direct download from here.

SlimTim- Betas shouldn't count as upgrades AFAIK.

Well I have been using it for a little while and it seems pretty stable for a beta. Certainly much more usable than the Lightroom betas.
UI seems to have taken a lot of the good features from Lightroom & aperture and made them workmanlike rather than gimicky.
Variants are a great addition and seem to work well.

Not had time to have a proper play yet, but on first impressions I am very impressed, especially as it looks like the DAM facilities are 100% better then previous versions ie ratings & DNG support, I haven't tested yet whether or not the DNG's produced feature embedded previews or indeed whether or not metadata such as the ratings stay with the images when imported into IView, I have noticed that an RAW file in one my IView catalogues wouldn't open in C1 4 using C1 as an helper application, which maybe an issue when you may want to process a DNG
