:gbounce: :gbounce: got my full licensed Lightroom version as of today....
Hi Michael
Did you buy online?
Alvin.
RSP was/is an excellent raw converter developped by Pixmantec. Adobe recognised the competition (and quality of the competition) bought the company and incorporated RSP technology into LR. To avoid to disgruntle the RSP community they offerred a free licence of LR to RSP owners... so for about S$200 you have now to softwares....
Some quirks that I realised after some usage of the trial version (coming from an ACDSee user). I have never used Aperture before, so can't really compare.
1) It does not support recursive file folder monitoring features (ie, if I set it to Auto Import D:/Photos, it won't detect any photos within the sub-folders. I have to manually import it.)
2) It's a little slow on my AMD Opteron 146 system - especially when rendering the 1:1 previews. ACDSee is damn fast.
You need at least a dual-core system to get things working fast.
2) The interface needs to get used to, IMHO. On the other hand, I'm used to ACDSee's folder structure management style.
4) I pretty love the Develop panel, and the non-destructive editing and virtual copies. Quite easy, and fast to PP too.

Have you already used LR? What is your opinion about it when you compare it to RSP? Is it worth to upgrade to LR or better continue with RSP?
What things are improved in LR compared to RSP?
i am running on a P4 2.8Ghz, originally i had 512MB ram, the beta was dead slow with that, now i am running with 1.5GB RAM and its pretty ok..... so a ram upgrade should do...Been using the version 1 trial copy. Find it a little slow on my system.
Thinking of either upgrade my whole system or just the RAM.....:think:
