Many photographers decide to use all the tools Adobe offers for their workflow. They use PDF for comps and contact sheets, they organize images using Lightroom, and they use Photoshop for editing. It’s a wise approach, and Lightroom now runs faster, fi...
While some of Lightroom’s organizational principles are difficult to get used to, they can be gotten used to, and in the end it’s the photos that matter. Their processing engine, presets, and the versatility of the tools they provide within the progra...

The image processing enhancements in Lightroom 3 are impressive, solidifying the program’s position as one of the best tools for managing, editing and publishing photos. This isn’t a blockbuster update, but offers enough to make it well worth the upgr...
I understand that this review is a bit atypical, as it's really a first explanation of a third-generation product. So, I'll offer two conclusions - one on the upgrade itself, and then one on Lightroom as a concept in a prosumer workflow. As to the upd...
Excellent new processing engine makes your RAW images look fabulous; wide array of helpful new tools including noise reduction, sharpening, vignetting, and lens correction; support for camera tethering (at last); improved interface with revamped import module; fast performance.

Abstract: Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3 is the much anticipated newest version of Adobe's highly praised photo management and editing system. With version 3, Adobe Photoshop Lightroom adds a number of new, and highly anticipated, features while at the same time co...
Fast operation. 64-bit Windows and Mac OS X versions. Elegant interface. Excellent, complete image adjustment. Tethered shooting. Excellent noise reduction. Lens profiles for correction.
Modal interface not as simple as Aperture's UI. Full screen view not as full-screen as Aperture. No photo-book feature. Lacks face recognition. Most expensive app in the space.
Lightroom has been the pro photographer's choice of digital darkroom, and this version brings increased speed and even finer image rendering. But it can't keep up with Aperture's more user-friendly interface....
Abstract: Close on the heels of Adobe's release of Photoshop CS5, Lightroom 3.0 is now available. Lightroom, unlike Photoshop, is built from the ground up for photography and the unique workflow that we have as digital photographers. Rather than dealing with 3...
