Adobe recently launched online a new blog named Phosphors, dedicated to Photoshop and Lightroom, and where users can find lots of very useful information such as help on specific topics, tutorials, tons of useful links and even contribute to improving Adobe’s products by participating in tests, workflow observations and interviews.
They have recently published, among other things, a help topic on backing up catalogs and sharing files online with Lightroom 2.0.
