    "Do you really need this AND Photoshop-YES, YES , YES"

    September 28, 2010  |   By trobo75

    Pros

    So i already had Photoshop CS5, so i wasnt sure if i could justify the extra expense of adding Lightroom 3 to my phototools, (i am a pro-photographer in a small market) but i shoot a LOT OF PHOTOGRAPHS.

    Cons

    Like most Adobe products the learning curve is straight UP!!! But once you get into the program and try all the modules you will see the flow really works.

    Summary

    So i already had Photoshop CS5, so i wasnt sure if i could justify the extra expense of adding Lightroom 3 to my phototools, (i am a pro-photographer in a small market) but i shoot a LOT OF PHOTOGRAPHS. Last week alone i shot almost 1,000 pictures at 3 different events. I downloaded the Lightroom 3 to try it out and IMMEDIATELY could see a big difference in the volume of work output, versus using Photoshop alone. I will DEFINITELY be purchasing this before the trial expires. Another good thing about Lightroom is the abundance of Presets out there for FREE. Try PresetHeaven.com. The speed with which you can import catalogs and actually do work on the whole catalog is worth the price of the product alone just to cut down on the amount of time spent at the computer. Of all the photo manipulation tools this has to be one of the best i have ever used.
