Its a lot more than an (excellent and important) cataloging tool. Scepticism is akin to paralysis ;-) Give it a try. Its scary good for nearly everything a photographer wants to do, then you can use PS for complex functions. By the way, how many images would you have stored? LR with the right inputs can find everyone one of them precisely and quickly once you get keywording/rating etc and all without distrubing however you have them sorted now. 2009/12/7 Mark Rabiner <mark at rabinergroup.com> > > 2009-12-06-14:39:40 Mark Rabiner: > >> But Lightroom is great became people who've always felt intimidated by > >> Photoshop can just skip Photoshop.
