Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Great Program, but...
I'm impressed with the program, but one such as this merits a manual for effective use. The price certainly justifies the printing costs. I had to buy an "aftermarket" book so as to be reasonably sure I'd get the full good of the program.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Best Photo Software
Lightroom 2 is the best photo organizer and quick editor I have ever used. I really like the organizer bar. And, I create web pages in minutes, crop pictures, adjust exposure and color temps, export my RAW images to JPG, touch-up red eye, and much much more. I haven't used CS3 in months.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Keep up the good work Adobe!
My search for the perfect photo management and editing program began earlier this year. While I'm not a professional photographer by any means, I am an enthusiasts like many of you who are considering Lightroom. The pros will all say that Photoshop is a must, but for amateur enthusiasts like us, it is way overkill as well as an expensive solution that screams out for a simpler solution.

On the other extreme are programs like iPhoto and Photoshop Elements 7 which are not sophisticated ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - 64-bit systems supported: Priceless
Adobe knows how to make fine software applications, and Light Room II is perhaps my favorite of all time (I've used Photoshop through CS2, Lightroom, Acrobat, etc...) As simple or complex as the user needs, its full featured editing and organization are impossible to beat. While the true professional editor will miss things from the heavier hitting Photoshop, virtually all the tools a photographer could ask for are available. I find that I rarely if ever use CS2 unless I run into a particularly daunting ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Photoshop Beyond!
As a lifelong Apple user, old Art Director and Adobe fanboy, I was extremely happy with Lightroom 2. NOT Photoshop Lite but IS a darkroom guru! Superbly designed for pros to enhance the heck out of images to pro standards, period. My highest recommendation to Adobe for turning me on to Lightroom. Have Photoshop? you probably have the CS and thus can live without SOME of lightroom, but I love the way it helps me track my tons of stuff in an orderly way. KUDOS ADOBE!!!
