I totally disagree.  The upgrade to Lightroom 2.0 is the best $99 I 
ever spent.  I'm able to get better results with LR than I could with 
hours of work in PSCS3.  Just follow any of the tutorials online or 
get Martin Evenings Lightroom 2.0 book.  The greatest thing is that 
you can make as many non-destructive adjustments to the RAW file as 
you want, save them as virtual copies, and never touch the original 
files.  The cataloging has improved so much with this upgrade that 
I'm switching over to LR instead of iView for cataloging my 
photos.  I'm using it for my scanned images, too.  You can save them 
as DNG files and work on them non-destructively.
