5 out of 5 stars Love it   September 4, 2010
E. Mancia
I have been a Lightroom user since the first one and I just love this program, because I can do most of my edits without going to another software. The work flow is just supper easy to get used to and if you need the help from Photoshop, you have access to it within Lightroom as well. If you are a first time user, I would recommend to get an instructional book. Scott Kelby has the best easy to follow step by step book, but if you like more in depth information books, you can find other authors as well.


4 out of 5 stars Order on Amazon, not from Adobe   August 31, 2010

I just ordered Adobe Lightroom 3 from the Adobe web site and wish I had ordered from Amazon instead. Normally, one would think that the benefit of ordering software from the company's online store would mean that you could download it immediately. Not so with Adobe. I placed an order in the online store and then had to wait hours for the confirmation, which didn't include the serial number I needed to enter for the download. I had to wait longer for that. The application costs less on Amazon and with Prime Shipping, I would have gotten it in about the same amount of time and with a lot less frustration.Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3


5 out of 5 stars LR 3 Very good for for the right person   August 24, 2010
Hank (Wilmington, DE United States)
3 out of 3 found this review helpful

I'll start off by saying I thought $300 for a photo program was more than I wanted to spend. I had tried the 30 day trial when LR2 came out, but couldn't get in enough keyboard time during the 30 day trial period. I decided to try the Beta when LR3 B1 came out and actually got about 70 days under my belt before B2 expired.
I had bought and used Elements 3 and 7, and while pretty good enhancers, there organizational abilities were weak. By weak, I mean, once they were catalogued and or key worded, they were fine, but the key wording was tedious.

Enter LR3. It doesn't have the capability of Elements (or photoshop either, I assume) but it does have enough capability to handle 90+% of what I do. What I usually do is correct color and exposure, saturate or desatureate some colors to enhance the image or de-emphasize the back ground, sharpen things up a bit and or decrease noise, mostly luminous, and apply the lens correction feature. I have also used the curves feature and the section I think they call shade, saturation and Lumination to make local adjustment to brightness and color. All in all, I can make almost all reasonably exposed photos, (+-2.5 stops) look pretty good. The program doesnot have the capability to distort shape, color or texture for artistic purposes, which I do not do at this time. The program does have a perspective correction section which I have had reasonable success with on the small number of uses I have had with it.

I have dabbled in the other features, such as healingand red eye reduction (easy and effecetive), paint brushing, tinting etc. My experience here is limited, but the features seem to be effective.

Its real standout is organization. I had about 11,000 photos in my file which I reduced to about 8000 by using the easy to use "compare mode". I also keyworded these images in about 2 weeks of daily effort averaging 2 to 4 hours per day. ( a concentrated effort for sure). The keywords are easy to set up and the program's auto-type and table of recent keywords is very helpful and a great time saver.

In general, I say if your main goal is organization of your file, perhaps coupled with a desire for slide show, this program has a lot of features to consider, (I did not use the print or post to facebook sections at all). If you're into MAJOR image correction or enhancement, for artistic purposes, this program will fall short. I hope this helps.



5 out of 5 stars If you shoot and process a lot of pics, how could you live without it   August 21, 2010
Michael Khalsa (Crestone, CO United States)

Years ago i use photoshop a lot, you know the hands fly over the shortcut keys, adjustment here or there, and you could do basic processing in your sleep. This was some time ago, and now i am getting back into photgraphy as a hobby. I downloaded the trial of lightroom, as not really sure if it simply a subset of photoshop or not.
Well, lightroom is great. It is not simply a subset, rather optimized for workflow and is a lot of fun.I would suggest also purchasing the Lightroom 3 book by Scott Kelby who explains it really well in an easy to follow manner.
If i had to chose between photoshop and lightroom, i would pick lightroom and use a cheaper editer such as elements, corel, ... NOt that this is the best, both programs have their place, just saying if i had to.

Anything you can do in lightroom, you can do in photoshop; however photoshop is more of a single pic type of focus (even with batch processing stuff), while lightroom is more like, here is the lot of photos from a shoot; lets quickly pic through them, organize them, and get them looking nice from raw, all non-destructively.

If has a set of workflow steps that you can rapidly switch between. The first step is organizational, the next one Develop is where you tweak photos, and the next are for presentation and export. The slideshow module is weak, not really up to scratch.

Ths program is going places - i bet version 4 will be (or could be) a killer app when all facets of the program are filled out.



5 out of 5 stars It's a necessity   August 18, 2010

Works wonders for processing large batches of images- especially wonderful and fast when processing studio shots. It's a great time saver- and it allows me to upload images directly to my website from Lightroom. It works very similar to Adobe Bridge in many aspects. It's easy to use but still allows more in-depth edits to be made. It is quick and easy to tag, sort, and rate images. You can add keywords, sharpen, resize, and add a logo or watermark to batches of images. It takes what I was doing in two programs and simplifies it into one program.

If you love technology, play online poker and have fun with your computer.
It's clear which online casino strives to keep ahead of the technological curve and which ones slack off behind. For the most part, the online casino that likes to stay ahead is also the one who is the most reliable, offers the best promotions and customer service.
