I just took Lightroom 3 and it was in beta format. Adobe contacted me via email for a free voucher and asked if I wanted to take it. I am in the Chicago area and maybe you turds didn’t know that they are already on to LR3. If so, you suck complete ass. You should probably take up another hobby or profession. Grow some pubes already mmkay.

Hi there again – for whats it worth – I sat the Lightroom ACE exam + passed and it was based on Lightoom 1.x – not Lightroom 2.x – the qualification I recieved is listed
“Adobe Certified Expert – Photoshop Lightroom ( v.1) Complete All.”
So the exam is based on Lightoom 1.x

A lot of nice info here.
I’m considering this ACE within a short time, but haven’t been able to find out if the exam now is updated to match LR2, or if it’s still LR1.

Anyone?

I fully agree with Matt Kloskowski. I’ve watched his Photoshop ACE video and it’s really good. I’ve also purchased the PS Examaid testing guide. And i’ve gone back and forth with a friend how this certification is “useless” and how a portfolio holds all the water to gain employment. I say, don’t take it then if it’s not for you. For me, I’m glad the ACE exams exist. I think it forces you to know things a regular designer doesn’t deal with on a daily basis. Which in turn is your leg up over the non certified.

To be honest, i’m finding the Examaid and the questions extremely challenging. I’m struggling big gime. Help File opened up, Photoshop launched, and Exaimaid running and i’m sucking air! The test is something else. I hope to take it in a month. But it’s bruttle.

I passed today the exam and I can add that Adobe certifications has helped me in getting involved with some training centers and schools for interesting collaborations.

I wasn’t able to pinpoint exactly which version of Lightroom 1 was taken as reference for the current exam. I think it was at least 1.1, but what would you recommend to people preparing the exam? is better to concentrate on Lightroom 1.4?

ps
a few more words on my personal experience for this certification:

Hi There,
I took the exam after working with Lightroom for a bit – and the day before the exam, I scanned Scott’s Lightroom book. One of the fairest exams in terms of what is covered… If one uses the program, it’s easy, but one recommendation that’s worked for me is, before you write, teach the programme once to someone else (or a class), it’s incredible how much you learn when you teach. Thks for a great site, Matt. From: http://www.pixelpostcards.com
