Personally I find online video tutorials very useful.

Lightroom is an image editing tool designed specifically for photographic purposes. Photoshop's history is much broader spectrum than that and, as a result, it has many many features that are not relevant to photographic endeavors at all, or relevant to only a very limited set of uses in photography. That makes it more difficult to learn and more complex to use. Lightroom's design is intended to work with you doing the kinds of things that a photographer needs to do ... import exposure files from cameras, organize them, rank them, render them, then output them for higher level editing, print and web presentation. The best way to understand for me was to read the Adobe pages, watch their videos, and then go to the tutorial videos I marked ** below. Adobe pages http://labs.adobe.com http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshoplightroom/ Video tutorials, reviews, other info: http://www.luminous-landscape.com/reviews/software/lightroom1.shtml http://pictureflow.fileburst.com/_Tutorials/Lightroom_4/01/index.html ** http://www.goingdigital.co.uk/pages/adobelightroomcourses.htm http://www.photoshopsupport.com/lightroom/tutorials.html http://www.photoshopuser.com/lightroom/index.html http://www.seanmcfoto.com/ lightroom/ On the other hand, if what you have is doing the job for you satisfactorily, then there's no need to switch. enjoy, Godfrey On Jan 30, 2007, at 12:51 AM, Henk Terhell wrote: > I haven't got any clue yet from all discussions why Lightroom is so > special that I should buy this.
