4.0 out of 5 stars Lightroom - with some room for improvement still, 6 Dec 2007
By Mr. G. Bridgeman-clarke "Graham Bridgeman-Clarke" (Rayleigh UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars lightening quick digital/photographic workflow, 1 Mar 2007
By M. Stuart - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a fantastic tool for digital photographers who want to be able to import and organise photos in a great deal of ways such as collections, folders, star ratings, colour ratings and by use of the meta data and keywords.

It is so easy to colour correct images, crop them, straighten them, remove spots caused by dust on the sensor/lens and then simply syncronise changes made on one image to many other photos that need the same work.

Lightroom consists of five modules: Library (where you organise), Develop (where you colour correct and crop etc), Slideshow, Print, and lastly Web. Slideshow, Print and Web do similar things which enable you to quickly build slideshows, send to print or build a website based on templates supplied. These templates are fully customisable and can then be saved as a new preset.

Lightroom is not a replacement for photoshop, they work well together. Lightroom will replace a lot of the things you do regularly to images in photoshop, but it cannot do major edits like montage.

TWO POINTS - I understand that apperture is extremely memory hungry, and also, it is only available for Mac users. Lightroom is available on both Mac and PC, so you only have one learning curve. But more importantly, as fast as Lightroom is (much faster than bridge) it isn't memory hungry, so should enable you to run Photoshop at the same time and edit images.

I have to stop now cos I'm getting boring, but I haven't even scratched the surface. To learn it, look at the video tutorials on Adobe's website - you'll soon see it's easy!

3.0 out of 5 stars Adobe Lightroom, 1 Jun 2007
By Steve (Cheshire - UK) - See all my reviews
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.
