Lack of SSE2 (AthlonXP and previous and first generation Sempron but also Intel Pentium 3) will be dead slow but... it works. I used a trial of Lightroom (because I had nothing for this on my parents computer) to convert about 50 photos I just took (RAW of course) to Jpeg to put on a CD so they ca

Yes, Mark, I too will be interested in how you like it. I had tried the Beta and was very unhappy with the Print Module. It appeals to me for the raw handling and the database management. Just don't know if I want to spend the bucks for another piece of software that will need upgrading every fe

I downloaded the trial today after reading Godfrey's response to my editing query and installed it on the new laptop - 1.7GHz Celeron M with 1.5GB RAM. Runs nice and smooth so far. I haven't figured out exactly what I'm doing with it, so batch processing may be another story entirely. -- S
