Lightroom 1.0

well said girl.... however its not only for RAW.... WB, exposure etc works just as well on jpeg....

yup.but i notice for WB adjustments, it still work best on raw than jpeg.but maybe it's psychological.

LR does the following:
> LR can handle: RAW, jpeg, tiff, psd and dng files
> photos are contained in database: you can assigne keywords and search for them or for metadata
> LR allows you to do exposure adjustments for your photos (exposure, contrast, brightness, histogram, colour, greyscale etc etc)
> some cosmetic corrections such as red eye and dust removal and limited cloning / healing
> RAW converter
> slide show
> you can print from there and produce your web pages from there

after using LR for sometime, i realised it is a very very good software for SORTING your pics, adjusting WB,exposure, colors blah... for each series of pics.that is, if you shoot raw.

after the sorting and adjustments, you'll STILL need photoshop CS2/3 to do any PS you want to do.
LR will never be able to replace CS, but i would say LR is a GOOD software to include in your workflow.it's much better than Adobe bridge.

STILL SUCKS. The program acts as if it had eaten a ton of snails. SLOOOOOOOOW!

granted, it's a good tool to manage photos, but it has to work efficiently before it is a good tool.

I have not used CS after using LR except for print sharpening and noise reduction (where needed). From a photographer's point of view, LR is almost complete for post processing use. I see CS very much an editing tool and used sparingly for the very few images that benefit from it.

Something strange...
Installed 4GB of RAM for Lightroom. In the initial startup when the computer boots up, the it recognised that there are 4GB of RAM.
But when vista starts, it says there's only 3GB RAM installed....

I presume that you are using a 32bit of Vista.

Only the 64bit versions are able to capture the full 4GB amount. Otherwise, your additional 1GB is wasted.

How to select the 64 bit version? Need to buy or just some selection?

if u purchase the vista, it should come with 2 dvd, one 32bit, one 64bit. u will need to install the 64bit.

but i think not all drivers will have 64bit.

AFAIK (I saw that you bought a Dell), you'll need to get another 64bit copy. I'm not sure if MS has a "swap" option for you to change your copy into a 64bit though.

However with 64bit, you'll face a lot of problems finding relevant drivers for your hardware, especially those more "ulu" ones, where they have poor 64bit driver support.

Make sure that all your hardware has the appropriate 64bit drivers before you plonk into the upgrade.

double click the pic to zoom in and double click again to zoom out

Thanks for your advice! I was wondering why the preview was so small in the library. Double-clicking did the job!

Still learning how to work LR. The PhotoPresets_1.0 certainly helps a lot.
