LR2 is a nice piece of software but I've already upgraded to LR3 and recently purchased LR4. I would definitely recommend LR4 to anyone that enjoys photography.

I use Light Room to organize and do touch-up on photos. It acts much like layers in Photo Shop in that it doesn't alter the original file. The heavy lifting still needs to be done in Photo Shop but Light Room takes care of 80% of my photo processing needs - like adjustments to exposure, white balance, sharpness, color, cropping and much, much more!

I love the flexibility of this program - you can do virtually anything in here if you shoot in RAW, which I generally do. But that leads to one frustration - the learning curve will be a little steep for some.

This is a very useful program. It took some time to develop proficiency in its use, but once I understood where everything was and what it does, it made a tremendous difference in my photographs (editing stages). I've found that pictures that were a bit too dark or the colors were just not right, this program was able to correct. This program has been very useful and helpful to me. There are more expensive and indepth programs out there, but for the price and funtionality of this program I gave it 5 stars.

Faster than Elements. Better at saving files across a network. Doesn't require a lot of CPU power.

This is an amazingly powerful program - especially if you shoot in RAW format - you can do almost anything with this program This is a MUST HAVE if you do any photo editing

I am a professsional photographer that specializes in commercial and stock photography. Lightroom 2 has cut my workflow time almost in half. On occasion it will slow down, but that may be because I try to go too fast. It intergrates seamlessly with Photoshop. I'm sold on Lightroom 2.

I haven't found anything I do that I can't do in Raw Bridge or Photoshop itself.

I have really enjoyed using Lightroom. I have always taken pictures in JPG mode because it's has been difficult to convert RAW files. Lightroom has made it easy for me to work with RAW files and that is all I shoot is in Raw format.

Adobe Lightroom has really streamlined my digital workflow. I now have the ability to edit my photos and color correct my images all in one program. It is a must-have for today's digital photographer. The only con is that the program really bogged down my Macbook....but the "problem" was easily solved by adding more memory. (So, it was more of a problem with my computer and not Lightroom itself). This was probably my best purchase of the year . I would definitely recommend this software to any professional, or aspiring photographer. It is worth the investment.

I am not a professional photographer, but I take a lot of pictures and like to shoot in RAW. This does a great job of processing RAW photos (better than Photoshop) and I love the RAW workflow. Keywords are easy to associate with the photos and easy to look up; a big improvement over Bridge. You can remain in RAW mode for printing and web creation. The adjustment tool is very powerful and I rarely need to go to Photoshop for any adjustments. It can be a little slow and everyone would benefit with the fastest computer they can afford. I would definitely recommend it to semi-serious to serious amateurs, especially if you like to shoot in RAW format.

Lightroom 2 is a giant step forward from Lightroom 1, and is more than worth the price of admission. The new features do take some computing power (I'm going to have to upgrade my set-up to take full advantage), but that's understandable considering the amount of information it is working with and how powerful it is. If you don't already have Lightroom, let me just say that it makes being a digital photographer much more enjoyable. I cannot even imagine working without it. If someone were to ask me what the most important things are for a starting photographer, I would say #1 a DSLR, and #2 Lightroom. It's that good.

I've been using version 1 for a year and Love it. I upgraded to Version 2.1 and it's very slow and crashes. The new feature for selective adjustments is so slow it's unusable. Wait for a new release and hopefully they will fix it.
