I recently purchased lightroom. I wasn't going to, but was having a lot of difficulty with the WB presets (for the 1Dmk3) in Capture One. Had downloaded the trial when I got my new Vista laptop. Thought there were some nice features in it but I still can't get used to using it. Silly really. It's not hugely different from C1 but just enough to be irritating. The feature to add keywords at download is nice, but now everything I downloaded has the same keywords associated with them because it remembered them all from the first time and I didn't change them (cos I wasn't paying attention) sigh.
