I did try The Gimp before I bought my MacBook, however, to me it was fairly cumbersome. I don't actually know what I am doing, so add that to learning a fairly comlex system, I ended in frustration. Lightroom on the otherhand, has a pretty intuitive interface and I have been able to figure out a lot more bu just fiddleing than I ever did with the GIMP. Also, my personal feeling is that as this is my hobby, I need to be just as concerned with efficiency as I would if it was my profession because of the limited amount of time I am able to give to it. With my current method, it takes me anywhere from 30 mins to an hour to process one photo and post to my site. Because I have to process, export, hand-code (which I am not good at :), upload, trouble-shoot, etc. Wheras with Lightroom everything is integrated and I can see that once I am up to speed on everything that it should save me tons of time behind the computar so I can spend more time shooting, which is worth $200 to me. All to say... that's just my opinion.
