I’m an Aperture user: it has a legit curves function instead of the handicapped “tone curve” tool that LR has used since it came out. Looks like they added RGB channels to the tone curve tool in 4, but I’d have to see how it operates. Aperture’s not perfect, but I prefer the floating HUD to the module interface of LR too: Too much stuff moving around, it feels like a bunch of drawers that I have to keep opening and closing.

BUT, standalone organizing software for RAW conversion is a must now, so… I dunno, get on with it. :)

Agreed, that video was horrendous.

Furthermore, NO FUCKING FEATURE CREEP! STOP IT ADOBE!!! For serious yo. Lightroom’s strength is it’s low memory footprint and simplicity/intuitiveness. They’ve already junked up Photoshop with crapware creep, I’m terrified by the thought of them doing the same to Lightroom.

Adobe, if you’re listening, rather than engaging in bureaucratically driven feature creep, make each program as strong as can be in it’s own area, and allow them to integrate as tightly as possible. If I need to do video editing, I *should* be doing it in Premiere or After Effects. Rather than spending the energy integrating extremely feature limited functionality of other programs into Lightroom, just let the various programs mesh more tightly together without duplicating functionality. Please. Please…

Lee!! Whuuuuut? It’s an amazing piece of software with a very small learning curve. Anyone can jump in and start organizing and “non destructively editing” their photos. It’s awesome! Going back and forth to and from photoshop was the seller for me, it’s amazing.

At first I thought this was a 1980′s launching of the first version of Photoshop haha. What’s with the background, the music and her hair? CLASSIC!!!

Lee, you must get on that. It has reduced my retouching time and disc-space by 300%.
DO IT!!!!

I used it for the first time last month, up to that point I had never thought I would touch it. It cut my editing time for a wedding in more than half; I am fully converted! The only thing I didn’t like was that there wasn’t a color curves graph, it all had to be done with sliders and I didn’t get the same results.
