 Great product! May 12, 2007

Great product, great design and easy to use (unlike many programs). You can really tell that Adobe listened to the Beta test feedback and gave the photographers what they ask for.
Excellent May 12, 2007

Wonderful product. Very fast and intuitive. Excellent editing and works smoothly with my digital camera. Easy to incorportate into a workflow and makes my pictures much better than they probably should be. Highly recommend.

Lightroom is a revolution for processing RAW and JPG files for photographers that create tons of images.
As a user of Apple's Aperture and long time user of Photoshop, iView, and others I would say that Lightroom has an organic interface that's very logical and easy to adapt to. My favorite developmental tools are the draggable histogram for exposure control and targeted adjustment tools for tweaking saturation, color, curves, and more. Enjoy the fact you can trade adjustment presets with other computers and users and have a quick view when you drag over a preset name as well.
Lightroom is not to be confused with "Photoshop" as an image editing tool. Although it offers basic cloning and healing tools, rotation, vignette, and cross processing tools, it's sole purpose is to act as "the photo lab" (in my view) as it batch edits any of it's adjustments with simple key commands and lightning speed. Also given the power to sort and rank, label and rename, print and slideshow, lightroom obviously has a lot of power as a post-production tool. Don't throw away photoshop; you'll want to use it for special effects and major image surgery.
All-in-all, if you shoot a ton and find yourself buried in "workflow" with lots of time at the computer -- demo and possibly buy Lightroom. If you like the fancy box and think the name sounds neat, keep walking. It's only on version 1 and already incredibly powerful so with some of the suggestions we keep giving Adobe, Lightroom will be a force to be reckoned with. The relative weaknesses it has right now are eclipsed by the power, flexibility, and price tag.
Very nice product, just SLLLLOOOOOWWW May 9, 2007

The only thing lightroom is missing is speed. My goodness it is slow, but it really has improved my workflow. If it was a little faster, I would have given it five stars. Being able to sync multiple images with a corrected one is one of the best features.

The claim to fame purports to make this a one-stop processing shop for Photographers.
Most photographers prefer to send their post-processed files to the lab. And if they really know their stuff, they are probably profiling their images to the lab printers. This is where LR fails miserably.
To make my point, I will start off by explaining how RawShooter worked (RawShooter was purchased by Adobe and after major surgical procedure sold as Lightroom):
For Rawshooter:
1. Open the RAW file.
2. Choose the profile of the printer I wish to use for the final output. This results in a significant color shift to the image as seen on the screen. After all, the benefit of the profile is to ensure that What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG).
3. Make changes to the image so that the final output is to your liking. (remember, the RAW files themselves are never modified. All you do is create offset points and save that data seperately)
4. Export to JPG
5. Send image to the lab with an assurance that WYSIWYG.
With Lightroom:
1. Open the RAW file
2. No ability to choose a printer profile.
3. Make changes to the image with no idea how the final output is going to look. (remember, the RAW files themselves are never modified. All you do is create offset points and save that data seperately)
4. Export to JPG
5. Send image to lab with the hope you like what you get (HYLWYG)
So, LR cannot be a one-stop shop for processing and printing RAW files. Any one who understands the importance of printer profiles would demand a WYSIWYG image to which one can apply the changes.
Rawshooter was much better at this.
