I just ran through processing one photo with Lightroom - it's brilliant! (Lightroom that is, not my photo) Looking back over some of the PS work I've done, I can think of maybe 5 photos out of ~3000 for which I've used more features than Lightroom provides. And for those photos, I was mostly playing, (e.g. http://forksandhope.com/ images/Nov06/IMGP4480-m-desat.jpg *) and I'm not really proficient enough with photoshop to pull off what I was trying to do. I bet Lightroom would have made my processing much easier and faster. I think I'll probably end up buying Lightroom and putting off the Photoshop purchase at least until CS3 is out. take care, JP * Damn. I really shouldn't look back over my old photos - they just make me want to spend money on kit (K10D, 60-250 f/4 DA*.. damn you pentax!) and go back to Africa to get all those missed and botched shots. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
