Top Rated Gear: Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Version 3 Software Upgrade for Windows and Macintosh, Nondestructive Editing Workflow, Photo Organization and Management

Although I have Photoshop and Corel photo editors, I find myself using Lightroom 3 for 99.5% of my photo editing. It allows me to easily manage my photo library, and review, compare and select photos from a large number of shots. The wide range of available tools allow me to quickly turn good photos into extraordinary photos.

My Photo Editor of Choice

Excellent way to organize and retrieve the huge catalog of photos in my collection. Currently over 45,000 images in the catalog.
Much simpler to use than Photoshop to process images for the photographer. I almost never need to use Photoshop since working with Lightroom.

Great product

I wasn't happy with LR2 and Nikon raw file rendering.  The new RAW rendering engine in LR3 seems like an entirely different product.  The color saturation, noise reduction, and overall image quality is much, much better.  I set up 5 or 6 presets which make working with RAW files almost as easy as JPEGs from the camera.  After using Capture NX2 for the last year, I didn't realize that working with RAW files could be so fast and simple.  I also use custom presets to tweak the JPEGs from the Nikon camera which always looked somewhat soft.  The adjustments are applied at the time of transfer from the camera to the computer so it requires no extra effort on my part in the work flow.

Highly recommended!

A Big Step Up from LR2!

It was a little bit different than LR2 but easy to learn the differences.  What a powerful photo processor.  I will find it very hard to ever leave this program for another.  It may seem a little spendy but worth every penny!

My primary photo processing software

Use it for editing photos and preparing them for the web. I do not need the power of Photoshop as I only make minimal changes. It is ideal for my needs and is a great upgrade, really nice enhancements to 2.

Great Product - Great Upgrade

More of what I loved about Lightroom 2. Nearly* all the functions needed to make good photos great. Lightroom 3 has added everything on my wish list *except HDR. It has watermark editing, better performance, 64-bit, perspective correction, improved sharpening and noise reduction, import preview, etc. Definitely worth a first-time or upgrade purchase.

More of a Good Thing

Upgraded from Lightroom 2 and consider this an excellent expenditure. Easy to use, intuitive.
