Paul, It really depends on the goals one sets for oneself. My ultimate goal is to make *all* the processing during RAW conversion time. That is, all the tweaking, sharpening, just everything, I want to do just once - when I convert from RAW to PSD and then to JPG for printing or directly to JPG for printing. To that end, LR presents more controls that I can work with. Indeed, using CS2 + Bridge I can probably do the same and much more because CS2 is far more powerful than LR. But I consciously do not want to deepen my PS knowledge. At least not at this moment of time.
I hope you see what I mean here. I am not comparing Godfrey's LR and ACR conversions of the presented RAW file. No, not really. I thought it was a suitable thread to make my remark, but indeed it is very off-topic of the original thread. Thanks. Boris Paul Stenquist wrote: > I doubt that LR is far superior.
