    Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

    Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good, but a bit slow (and the latest release is even slower)
    I received this software to review quite some time ago. To my frustration, just before I could install it, the computer I planned to use died, and the new one wasn't really suitable for the job. (Graphics performance.) As a result, the software package languished on my shelf until recently, when I reorganized my photography workflow and storage, and started looking around for the right software. One of my colleagues has been a long-time Lightroom user, and I asked his advice. "Lightroom 3?" he said, ... Read More



    Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Lightroom 2.7
    I've been using LR3 since December 2009 and decided that I should bite the bullet and purchase the non beta product (especially when I learned that my work wouldn't be moved from the beta to the final version). LR2.7 is a very polished program and I highly recommend it to any serious photographer. LR3 isn't much different (except, I guess, "under the hood"), and so I've been able to jump right in. You'll need cs4 or cs5 for any major editing, but most of your work flow can be accomplished right in ... Read More



    Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Complicated
    I am a "pro" photog with a studio and 5 employees. We tried to incorporate Lightroom into our work flow and found it was too complicated for us to keep using. It is not very intuitive and when you need classes to figure out how to run the program, it 's telling me there is a large learning curve involved.
    I recently downloaded Google's FREE program, Picasa, for my home use and with in 10 minutes I was having fun editing and sorting my personal pics. Contrast this to Lightroom where 3 of us, ... Read More



    Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Very expensive buggy software with mediocre tech support
    I have always been a fan of Adobe products, but I have to say the CS4 line is buggy, very buggy. As to tech support, Adobe has gone the route of every other large corporation in the United States. Namely, they are not in the United States. Gone are the days of communicating with someone whose name you can pronounce or that you can actually understand when you talk to them.

    It seems whenever you do attempt to get help, their people go down the prescribed checklist. It doesn't matter how stupid ... Read More



    Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - best editing tools ever but a pain to use
    I LOVE the interface and editing features but my problem with this software is it's file handling. Why do I need it to do what I have done with my operating system since DOS? I understand the concept of non-destructive editing but I think this is for people who do not back up their data and are there any professionals by now who do not? I bet most lightroom users do anyway. So why the bloatware? Maybe Adobe wants to get photographers hooked so they will never again be able to handle their files on their own!
