Great resource
Lightroom 2 is a great resource for photographers, combining cataloging, development and print capabilities. The develop module is the knockout here. It's similar in many respects to Photoshop's Camera Raw, but in my opinion the Lightroom interface is superior. Though it's easy to open images in Photoshop, Lightroom's local adjustment brush often makes that additional step unnecessary, and the saving in file size is significant. I'm also a fan of Photoshop, but given its high price, those who do...

What it does well, it does really well.
After using Photoshop for years, Lightroom 2 is my tool of choice for most areas of photo editing. The slideshow is very accurate in tone, contrast and detail, much better than Bridge. I like the non-destructive element and being able to go back at any time and undo work done in previous sessions without having to create the memory hogging layers of Photoshop. The print module is the best I have ever used. I am viewing the images more accurately than ever, everything in my system is the same...

Finally! A working version of Lightroom!
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?) I'm sure many advanced/experienced Photoshop CS3 users are wondering if they should purchase CS4 or switch to Lightroom 2.1 as their primary image processing application. Without making you read further, I'll state now that for me, Photoshop is and will continue to be absolutely necessary; Lightroom is what many will recognize as a "90% application" (meaning you can handle 90% of your processing needs) but it...

All you need for 95% of your editing
I started with Lightroom 1.0, survived its quirks and have now grown to love the more mature 2.0 version. Here are some of the features that make this program indispensable: Able to make fundamental edits, assign key words, and place the photos into an existing or newly created folder all on import; Can make all edits on one photo and then copy these edits to all or selected photos - the first time I corrected the white balance on a whole photo shoot with only a couple of clicks, the angels star...

WONDERFUL program. SERIOUS bug
Lightroom is a 5-star product, with a serious bug in this version. Hence the 3-star rating. I will definitely buy version 2.3, which Adobe says should correct this bug.
I am a Mac user -- I don't know if this bug also exists in the PC version.
First, the great product:
I have thousands of photos (including many duplicates) in disorganized folders all over my disk After using the trial versions of both Lightroom 2 and and Aperture for several weeks, Lightroom was my clear ...

Full Featured Workflow
I am not a professional but I have alot of photos I need to keep organized. I used iPhoto, but between it and Photoshop, there were some steps that just slowed down the process. Basically Lightroom is a combination of an organizational application with basic photo editing capabilities. It integrates well with Photoshop for more advanced editing. For my family snapshots though I rarely have to edit outside of Lightroom.

Well-designed versatile productivity tool for digital photographers
Version 2 of 'Adobe Photoshop Lightroom' (LR2) is a worthwhile expansion of last year's successful introduction -- in particular, the welcome capability of enhancing selected regional portions of an image (as against the prior more restrictive global tweaks); a Finder bar that consolidates previously separate searches for dates, keywords and metadata (eg: capture date, camera make, location, etc) into one accessible central location; capacity for huge files (up to 512 MB); as well as dual-monito...

A Worth While Upgrade
When Adobe first released the public beta of the original Lightroom, it seemed like a desperate attempt to compete with Apple's Aperture which Apple seemed to be using to target Adobe's flagship creative tool, Photoshop.
Upon using the beta, however, it became apparent that this was a tool that Adobe had been putting a lot of thought into and while the decision to offer the free public beta may have been an attempt to stave off possible Aperture defectees, the development of the softw...

Weird, Wild and Wonderful
This is the story of three bears. Papa Bear, AKA Photoshop, Mama Bear, AKA Lightroom, and Baby Bear, AKA Bridge. Papa Bear carries the weight and does the heavy lifting. Mama Bear organizes everything and gets lots of important work done behind the scenes. Baby Bear is smaller, but still important to the family. Together, the three bears are a powerful family, especially to the photographers who revere and adore them.
Okay, lets kick the bear metaphor to the curb and take a look at t...
