Lightroom

[casil403]

Just purchased lightroom last week and I gotta say I much prefer it over PSE7 and Picassa....so far I'm very impressed with the results!

It's great and you will find it works very well in conjunction with your PSE7.

Yep .. I use both. If I have no need for any layering or fancier processing then Lightroom is great and speeds up the usual processes nicely. It's sharpening sucks though. I don't even bother using it. I use the Clarity which is often enough.
Much of my processing involves LR first then PS7 afterwards.

Love it too. There are so many free presets available.
One note, I find a number of the built in presets(mostly sepia, aged photo and the like), a little too bright for me.

I just deleted 8GB of catalogue backups today. I didn't realise when you do your weekly catalogue backup it creates it in a new folder and does not save over the last backup. I wondered where my HDD space was disappearing to. Just thought I'd mention it incase others haven't noticed thats how it works.

I took a look at lightroom when the first beta was announced but havent thought about it since. then yesterday I decided to take another look...WOW.

Adobe has put this very cool site together (man they build good flash sites)
Adobe — Discover your Shortcut to Brilliant

has work by several photographers (I'm lovin Marcus Bell's work) and some cool vids where they talk about there favorite things within lightroom, photoshop n such.

I think I'll check out there demo...can't affor to buy at the moment.
