I have CS4 and Lightroom and use them both in my "creative workflow" I do wb clarity and exposure adjustments in Lightroom and them bring up in CS4 to do other stuff (cloning, selective coloring, etc) and i find that works for me. You can get both for about $400 ..299 for CS4 and 99 for Lightroom if you are a student. So you might wanna check that out.
I saw that discount. How exactly does it work and how do I prove I'm a student to get it for that price? I would probably only get one because I'm pretty broke so when I buy something it takes a lot of time to make that decision because I usually can't buy anything else for a little bit of time until I make some more money.
If your an alum to any college that has a bookstore that sells them, you can usually do that. I can walk into UCSD any time I like and get any software they sell at student price. If I remember though, they usually check IDs, so you probably couldnt just go up into any one.
