 Beautiful but unreliable July 14, 2007

Lightroom is a beautiful well designed product, crafted for the way photographers work. Unfortunately, Adobe just released the 1.1 version w/o the same attention to quality that the original design implied. In upgrading to the new version, the program corrupted all the lightroom files on my main and backup hard drives rendering them useless. It then refused to be re-directed from the corrupted library and wouldn't even open. No matter how elegant the design, a program for managing photography files that instead destroys them is worse than useless. This is a wonderful product, that has been destroyed by a lack of attention to quality. Don't buy it, because you can't trust it.

Who would expect anything less from the producers of Photoshop? It has as much or as little as you need.

I purchased Adobe Lightroom 1.0 about a month ago. It has helped so much with my digital photography workflow. I shoot approx 600+ images at a typical wedding. With Adobe Lightroom 1.0 I have saved so much time behind the computer in pre-production. If you shoot lots of images, Lightroom is for you !
 Great early version. June 20, 2007

After using it for a few months now there are a few quirks that I wish were not there or done differently. I'm sure this program is only going to get better. Mesh's real well with Photoshop7.1, hence, same vendor. That's what sold me over Aperature.
Covers most needs June 19, 2007

As one other reviewer commented, I've tried many of the other software packages out there, and they all have their highlights, but none was really satisfying my needs end-to-end. Lightroom differs. It truly provides me with an efficient workflow for my pictures, has an intuitive user interface, and enough feature power to cover 99% of my shots in a single tool. The edit functions are powerful enough that when you belong to the school that tries to get the photo right in the camera rather than in the digital dark room, you can make those small tweaks in Lightroom without having to go to another editor.
Specific features I like: The non-destructive editing is great. Never have to worry about keeping extra copies of the original image. Just make the changes. Want to see later what was outside your crop area? No problem, it's still there a mouse click away. Want to test different versions of edition (e.g. color and b/w version, or low/high sat version)? No problem make a virtual copy, apply different edits, and then compare side by side. Seamless integration with Photoshop CS3. Click on edit in CS3, and Lightroom will create a .psd file from your preview image and automatically stack it with your raw image. Easy to switch back and forth.
Concerns: Because of the non-destructive editing, Lightroom has to keep a DB around that is essential to the integrity of your photos. That makes it more fragile than other photo software. Make sure to backup your DB. I also export all the key shots as JPEG and keep both the original RAW and the JPEG just in case.
