Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Finally! A working version of Lightroom!


I'm sure many advanced/experienced Photoshop CS3 users are wondering if they should purchase CS4 or switch to Lightroom 2.1 as their primary image processing application. Without making you read further, I'll state now that for me, Photoshop is and will continue to be absolutely necessary; Lightroom is what many will recognize as a "90% application" (meaning you can handle 90% of your processing needs) but it's not a complete PS replacement; or at least not yet.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The only image tool you will need
I tried the previous version of Lightroom, but couldn't see much of an advantage over the free cataloging program that came with my Nikon cameras, so I uninstalled it.

This version is a different animal. I don't know whether to call it an image cataloging program with powerful image editor or an amazing image processing program with an intuitive cataloging feature.

Its library catalogs images across multiple drives with an enchantingly user-friendly interface. The enchanced ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Speedy, Efficient, Great Editing
As an amateur photographer, Lightroom 2 was on my wish list for quick photo editing. Now that I have it and have used it, I am more than satisfied!

The library and sorting system are user-friendly and customizable. Not only can you import your photos and keep them in the same basic folders that are used on your hard drive, you can create your own collections. Lightroom has it set up that you can save photos in folders you create and name, as well as in "Smart Collections" which sort your ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - It does what Camera RAW anbd Bridge does but better
Where do I start.
This is a great package. I used to open all my photos in Camera Raw and catalog them using bridge. Adobe Light Room 2 has many more features and is non destructive. I shoot almost exclusively in RAW and then convert them to DNG. LR2 allows for spot correction, graduated touch-up, and some masking features. The only drawback that I can find is that if you are new to the Adobe tools it is a bit overwhelming. I use Kelby training and have gone through many of the videos which have ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A worthy Upgrade
Well, to start with, I am a professional photographer and I have used version 1 of Lightroom for quite a while - pretty much since it came out. I really like Lightroom, and I recommend it to anyone, amateur or professional, who takes a lot of images. If you go on vacation somewhere wonderful and bring back 100 photos, Lightroom probably isn't for you, but if you routinely shoot a few hundred exposures or more on a weekend trip or a one day professional assignment, then you need it. It's that simple.
