Fish-Finger-er Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 Just tried adobe lightroom for the first time on my pc this morning, very impressed with it, for those people that dont need the image editing of photoshop, or the hassle of it. when it comes to raw processing it does all it needs to,also automatically imports your images,and displays them in thumbnails to edit,rather than having to open each one individually in photoshop which saves a load of time, for tweaking levels, cropping etc, its a lot quicker than photoshop, and simpler if you want it to be(but at the same time has all the full features if you need to use them)best feature i found with it though was the gallery templates, before if i wanted people to see a selection of my images, without being able to see all of the ones i have on the web, id have to upload all my images to photobucket, then get photobucket to generate tags for it, and stick it in my myspace blog. or create a shoddy looking website, granted i could make a decent gallery, but thats the last thing i wanna do after a big ride, or the day i come back off holiday, i just wanna sit at me pc, music on, lay back and either do nothing, or have a quick chat with people, not spending a couple of hours creating a website, well lightroom has clean and tidy lookin html an flash templates, which lets you sort and select your images, and export the whole gallery ready for web use, with all titles,layout etc all pre written in in lightroom. can even directly upload the lot via ftp. seems rather good, and before any asks, will it replace photoshop, then no it wont, but it will work with it incredibly well, and be used inplace of it, unless my images need excessive editing(lightroom does have a clone/heal tool, but aint tried using it yet).

Tomm Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 In other news, apparently Adobe are making a free online version of Photoshop. Apparently it'll just be add-supported. Hooray!linkI've had the beta of Lightroom for a while but never really used it. But the trial has run out now any I'll have to pay to continue using it. It's OK, but I prefer to use an image browser like Picasa and just jump into Photoshop for anything more advanced. Ditto Apple Aperture.

JonMack Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 I use Aperture, havnt got round to trying out Lightroom with my library yet, but I read the O'Reilly Inside Aperture blog and they did a comparison last week so I'll check all that out soon and see which is better.
