Lightroom

Just saw this on a photography forum...think it pertains really well to people's perceptions about `fancy equipment':

Buying a great violin does not make you a great violinist, just the owner of a great violin.

By the way, did you know that you can download free trials of Lightroom? I would highly recommend trying out one of their 30 days trials. That is what I use for almost all of our editing. One side note is that there is a beta version of Lightroom 3 to try out there, but, it DOES NOT have an activated luminance noise slider which is important to me when shooting in RAW. They will have it in the real version when it is released, just not yet.

  2. Ashley, there are actually several different versions of it as they keep updating it....you could try Lightroom 2.3 for 30 days and then Lightroom 3 etc. So, you can actually have it for more than 30 days:)

  3. My sister in law just brought me the Lightroom program. I am not sure which edition it is but I'll have to set it up and give it a try.
