[Leica] It's all your fault

[mark at rabinergroup.com (Mark Rabiner)]

I can almost understand a new person doing their "post processing" or 
"editing" in Lightroom as that?s what all their pals are doing.
A person who's being doing this for more than five minutes has cut their 
teeth with Photoshop. The idea of somehow needing to unlearn or forgot 
photoshop so one can switch to Lightroom I'm not wrapping my head around. I 
suspect that the many people who say they did this were not being 
practically upfront with the fact that they not gotten into Photoshop that 
far in the first place.
Otherwise how could they have given it up? It does not add up.  Is it some 
kind of burden? 
"no I must stop using this fabulour software I've been using for two decades 
and quickly learn instead this fast and easy software everyone else is using"
Photoshop is a fabulous world unto its self which is a reason to own a 
computer in the first place.
Photoshop is as fast and easy as it needs to be if you have been using it 
the whole time.
I spent less than a minutes on most my images after first spending a minute 
in Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) which is how it opens from Adobe Bridge which is 
the contact sheet thing.. DB
PS has plenty of sliders. Plenty of "auto" features.
It just gives you 4 ways to do something instead of one or zero.

    a great editing software that does not include cataloging.
    
    I go to PS for Focus Magic, cloning, spotting, layer work, and deleting
    objects,
    
    Most of my 3rd party editing softwares are accessible through LR, except
    Focus Magic.
    
    If I need to find anything by keyword, camera, lens, date, rating,
    filename, that's possible in LR.
    
    I can't imagine working without either one of them.
