Firstly I have used most workflow software in my photography business includis media, acdc, Adobe Bridge, Aperture and most creative imaging software including PaintShop Pro, Corel, Photoshop and Capture NX so I think I have the feel for this type of programme. Further I had the beta version from Adobe when it was in trial mode.
Likes, well its a lot like Aperture in layout and I like the look. You can customise the look also to what you want and thats a cool feature. The grid and loupe features allow you to have the screen as you want it and its so easy to load in a few images to compare. Lightroom also gives you the opportunity to do some immediate modifications for example you are easily able to change white balance, sharpness, contrast and crop. A great feature which make it stand out against the rest.
Dislikes, well loading images from a camera/disk can be a pain if you do not follow procedures. A few times I have loaded up, forgotten to make a file on my computer and the images are imported into Lightroom without a folder being made. The images are still there but you have to go to "last import" to retreive them and its a bit of a game then to make a file and transfer them.
To get the best from this software you really do need to read a good book - such as Scott Kelby's Lightroom for Photographers or join an online class like www.lynda.com. However, both cover version 1.1 and latest version is 1.3 and the interface has changed substantially in my view so beware that not all chapters in the book or lessons on the web are up-to-date.
How do I rate Lightroom. In my view, even with the parts I do not like, its probably the best bit of software for workflow on the market. I have ditched Aperture, since it is RAM hungary and still slow and use Lightroom instead. But since I am a Nikon user I transfer my images to Capture NX first, do any modifications I need there first, then transfer to Lightroom. Part of the reason for this is that Capture NX will transfer black and white images I take on my camera whilst if I use Lightroom first, Lightroom converts then back to colour. I am sure Adobe can fix this but no doubt another update is needed.
So there you have it. Great software but you do need to put in some time to learn even the basics to get the best from it.

I downloaded a 30 day trial from Adobe (version 1.2)and after a couple of days finding my around the software, I new that it was an excellent piece of software. I agree with one of the other reviewers that it's a pity that the dodge and burn facility isn't there, although if you have CS2, CS3 or Elements, you can right click on a photo inside Lightroom and go straight to your other editing software. Amazon was the cheapest place that I could find this program - even around £40 cheaper than buying the download from the Adobe shop (which I thought was a bit odd). If you just want to crop and get rid of red-eye, buy something else, if on the other hand you are enthusiastic about your digital photography then buy this. You wont regret it.

This a fantastic product, made for photographers, by photographers. There is the good and the not so good though.
The good: (1) The `Recovery' and `Fill' sliders salvage detail from burned out highlights and blocked shadows - this is non-destructive in RAW. (same idea as the Shadow/Highlights too in CS2). A fantastic tool, very powerful.
(2) The `Vibrance' slider is like a `smart' Saturation slider, it only saturates colours which are not heavily saturated already. The `Saturation slider' would affect skin tones, this doesn't. (3) I gave up B/W photography 20 years ago, this has got me interested again. Converting colour to B/W generally looses a lot of cloud detail in a blue sky - not here, this is incredible, and you have complete control. (4) You can now put jpeg's through the same process as RAW, none destructive editing, you can't do this in CS2. (5) Copying the settings of one photo to another is simply a matter of `Copy' and `Paste'
The not so good: my pc was top of the range a little under 2 years ago. With the exception of dual core, there is still nothing to upgrade it to. Lightroom freezes. It freezes on start-up, it freezes in between modules. (for some, not all). To release it after it has frozen I had to CTRL - ALT - DELETE, this would shut down Lightroom, if I loaded it again it froze immediately. So I had to Restart the pc each time it froze.
This could only happen to older pc's with Nvidea graphics cards. I had to download the latest driver for the Nvidea graphics card - I then needed to re-calibrate my monitor. It still froze. I then had to disable the nView desktop manager (Nvidea). It seems to works fine now.
If you have this information, it is done very quickly - it took me 2 days.
Shame on you Adobe, a brilliant product (5 star) sent out for the consumer to test and rectify.
