The more I use Lightroom the more I like it. In general I think to myself "It ought to do X, and it ought to do it this way", so I try X this way, and it does it.
I have found a couple of areas where it's missed something though. In the Library module on the Find panel you can specify text (such as a keyword) for it to look for with options such as Containing, Containing All, Starts With etc. But it doesn't do Exact match. So a search for pictures with the key word Starts With 'Cat' finds all my cat photos, but also all my cattle photos, catastrophic photos, catatonia photos and catalytic converter photos. I've been playing around with Keywords today. I quite like the ability to do synonyms, and I quite like that you can build hierarchies (parent/child relationships) although each keyword can only have one parent, which is somewhat restrictive albeit politically correct. I can't see the point (yet?) of keyword sets. But actually what I would really like is 'semantic fields' and 'sense relations'. In linguistics, semantic fields are bla bla, actually I've had too close a sense relation with vodka & tonic this evening to explain these, and I'm not likely to get them anyway. -- Bob > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On > Behalf Of Godfrey DiGiorgi > Sent: 25 February 2007 22:35 > To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List > Subject: Re: Forgive my ignorance, but what use is Lightroom? > > You can tell LR to discard the previews and save some space, or tell > it to discard them after a suitable unused period of time. > > But if you prefer Phase One, well, why not just stick with it? > > G > > On Feb 25, 2007, at 9:22 AM, Jens Bladt wrote: > > > This sounds very nice, Godfrey.
