========== Lightroom, now that I have used it, seems especially good for doing B&W conversions and organizing one's photos. It can also reset tonal values for B&W and color. But serious editing, involving cloning and other things, needs to be done elsewhere. I thought it would only "plug-in" CS2 and CS3, so I was very happy to find it would hook up to plain old vanilla, CS. One can also hook it up to any external editing program, so I now have it hooked up to Elements 5, as well. I think what I like best is the film strip at the bottom, though. It just makes a good RAW previewer. Best I have seen so far. Marnie aka Doe ;-) But truthfully, one CAN live without it, although I do like what it does with B&W conversions. --------------------------------------------- Warning: I am now filtering my email, so you may be censored. ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
