 Lightroom Rocks May 6, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This application is sweet! It can draw every pixel of information out of a camera RAW file with infinite tweaking ability. The main difference for me is the 16 bit work flow. I used to use just Photoshop for image work with 8 bit camera JPG's, now I use Lightroom to prepare image files and Photoshop to do the heavy photo-manipulation, keeping the files in 16 bit until the final output. Twice as much value information makes a big difference.
I used to hear photographer's and the Photoshop TV guys going on and on about 16 bit and camera RAW without understanding what they were really talking about, now I'm a convert. Unfortunately some of Photoshop's filters only work in 8 bit, so I save those until the last.
Adobe really thought out the layout, and it is a pleasure to look at, especially on a nice display. I've only scratched the surface of all of the control possibilities and look forward to discovering more.
First Impressions May 6, 2007

Installed the program after an issue with deleting all traces of the beta version... Took a call to Adobe Tech Support and an issue with a file in the CS2/Legal directory that used a Viet font.
Until these issues were satisfied, the Lightroom installer crashed on the splash screen
Installation complete.. Loaded my directory of image files.. Scans and Digital photos from misc cameras (Kodak, Canon) Got message that some files were not able to be imported for various reasons.. Some were too large, some were duplicates..
Found also that if two files (IMG_001.JPG and IMG_001.TIF) were in the same directory, only the TIF would get imported.. Same applied to Canon .CR2 raw files along with associated .JPG.. Only the raw (CR2) file got imported but it seems taht both are there but the 2nd one not shown as if you change the name of the .TIF or .CR2 file using the Lightroom Library browser, both the files in question got their names changed on my hard drive.... Tech Support has been able to duplicate this bug on their machin so I guess a fix may be in the works?

Working with Photoshop Lightroom
First, I click on develop and then click on Basic sliders. Next, I use the sliders to send instructions to Photoshop Lightroom stored in my hard drive's Picture folder. The Metadata allows me to name my photo images. Lightroom does not change my flash card digital numbers.
You can Heal photo spots and blemishes with Photoshop Lightroom. Check out the excellent help menu in Photoshop Lightroom. The Remove Spots tool lets you repair a selected area of a photo with a sample from another area. In the Develop module, select the Remove Spots tool from the Lightroom Toolbar.
Using the Toolbar
Clone: Applies the sampled area of the photo to the selected area.
Heal: Match the texture, lighting, and shading of the sampled area to the selected area. (Optional) In the Toolbar, drag the Spot Size slider to specify the size of the area affected by the Remove Spots tool.
Keywords become my search engine for locating my edited photo images. My favorite Photoshop Lightroom keyboard shortcuts and Function Keys:
B - Add to Quick Collection
*D - Loupe view
E - Jump to Library in Loupe View
G - Grid View in Library module
L - Cycles through Light Out modes
*N - Remove spots
R - Crop the overlays
T - Hide/Show Toolbar
V - Grayscale/Color
Z - Zoom to 100%
Control-Click Virtual Copy
Function Keys F5 to F8 Various functions
*The above missing Keyboard shortcuts letter functions.
Excellent Instructions in Photoshop Lightroom
Photoshop Lightroom is nondestructive editing of your photos. Your photographs are not changed by Photoshop Lightroom. Your photo changes are stored in metadata as a series of instructions. This saves your hard drive space because you do not have to save your edited photographs.
Lightroom applies instructions to the original photo file. This allows you complete control over your photographs. Changes you make to your photo images are reversible.
Pro Reaction
The answer is Photoshop Lightroom 1.0 developed for professional photographers. This is the Adobe application that is quick and easy to use for editing your digital photographs. Now, you can create your own digital photo style and look.
You have elegance and power in your hands when you use Lightroom application. The Photoshop Lightroom tool suite is powerful. You can use Photoshop Elements or Photoshop CS2 for your difficult photo editing work.
The fill colors in Photoshop Lightroom are white, light grays to dark gray and black. Lightroom's Library views are grid and loupe. You can use Lightroom's clone stamp features and make virtual copies of your photos.
Con Reaction
More fill color themes in the preference file would be a good addition since Photoshop Lightroom's interface is black. Different color theme interfaces in the preference file would be a good addition to Lightroom.
Keyboard shortcuts is incomplete. The following are the missing letter functions: N - Remove spots, D - Loupe view, Control-Click Virtual Copy. There is no help menu's mention of Function Keys F5 to F8 for Photoshop Lightroom's various functions.
Final Notes
Photoshop Lightroom allows you to spend less time sorting and organizing images. You have more time to shoot and edit your digital photos.
Amazing Software April 12, 2007

Abobe hits one out of the park. I find Adobe software clunky and hard to use. While I understand that the more flexibility you want the more complex the program but Photoshop and InDesign have learning curves that are steeper than Mount Everest. I expected Lightroom to be the same - an excellent program with a huge learning curve. Well it is and it isn't which it why Lightroom is such a pleasure to use. I don't know what Adobe is thinking in creating this gem of a program but the team who designed it are collective geniuses. For they have taken a complex and sometimes frustrating chore and for lack of better words made it gentle and pleasing. The program makes spending time with your photographs actually enjoyable.
Lightroom is fabulous from look and feel to functionality. The strength is not only in the photo management portion of the program but also in the strong photo developing functions that can turn an OK photo into an amazing one.
If you do anything with photographs buy this program. You won't regret it.
