I want to give kudo's to LIGHTROOM3. I see so many that state its "only this or that". Yes indeed it is, but its TONS more than "this and that". If thats all it did I doubt a single one of us would own it. And junk is what you'll consider Bridge, CameraRaw, and Aperture if you try a 30 day free shot of Lightroom3.
No need to go into how eloquently file handling becomes. Lightroom3 also:
* has web publishing tools that make creating extremely custom html/flash portfolio gallery presentations a simple snap. and it automatically publishes/FTP to your site (web module)
* makes it SIMPLE to create custom print layout packages for customers or yourself. or use Lightrooms array of preset print packages (print module)
* automatically custom and/or auto uploads to all your social media at at once
*creates custom video slideshows for your customers with audio or music options
* edit, manage, and showcase all your images with this one program
* handles the whole post-shoot workflow. import, choose, edit your raw files in Lightroom, export to photoshop and do your thing, photoshop on the "saves" sends the pic back to lightroom for a side by side before and after. or should i say "original and photochopped and ready" now live side by side in lightroom and ready for print, web upload, social media upload, distribution, and everything else lightroom will do with your finalized picture product.
* it will create custom and embed (or your existing) watermarks, if you're into that type thing
Did i suggest download the free 30 day lightroom3 trial??? Many would be hooked and never look back. And the student version of this awesome program costs peanuts, as a nooB student I'm loving it paired with photoshop. I enjoy hearing some talk about lightroom as a "cataloging gig" or "image management software"
