Just wondering... if you have Photoshop... why even bother with Lightroom?
I've never gone in the app... I'm under the impression it's a Mom / Pop app that is primarily cliche adjustment filters and minor touch-up tools (less cumbersome to those trying to do a few quick things)... is my thinking wrong? (again... haven't opened the app so I really don't know anything except for brief blurbs I've read)
- you are so wrong.
lightroom is so much better than photoshop for image control.imbecile - ^ how?scarabin
- I use it to import, catalogue, and develop raw files. You can do some minor touch-ups, but it's for importing and developing large amount of photos.Cosmodrome
- Much finer control of every aspect of a RAW bitmap image be it highlights, shadows, color, etc. over Photoshop. The HSL / Color / B&W panel is a prime example.imbecile
- ^oh yeah... read some info on that somewhere, cosmodrome... by cataloging... does that mean renaming?PonyBoy
- weird they wouldn't put this all into photoshop... seems LR is directed towards photographers more than pixel-pushers... yes?PonyBoy
- It's for photographers, yes. it's called Lightroom (as opposed to Darkroom, get it?)imbecile
- it IS in Photoshop, but not exactly... it's in Photoshop RAW, special for importing/processing RAW images before opening Photoshop propermonospaced
- I mean, Camera RAW. Try it out, Pony, by opening a RAW image.monospaced
- ah... yeah... I know what you're talking about, mono... it's a pop-up of sorts (slightly external)PonyBoy
- personally, i prefer Lightroom to the PS raw editor. (still more control)imbecile
- yeah, me toomonospaced
- Light room is specifically made for photo work flow.pango
- You have more control doing batch work flow as well.pango
- I like Lightroom to select/catalogue images cuts from big shoots.sephil
- LR is definitely NOT Mom/Pop.garbage
- not better necessarily - just has a different set of tools specifically for that purpose.fadein11
- Def Better for photogs batch work flow.pango
- Once you start using Lr you'll never go back. It is aimed at photographers, so if you don't need to sort/edit/manage a lot it won't be worth it.formed
- But for quick corrections (wb, exposure, etc.) it's great. It's also great for exporting different sizes (web, fb, print, etc.), water marks, etc.formed
- Agree with all the comments that are pro-Lightroom. You can edit RAW in PS, but LR is for a different purpose.mg33
- LR replaces a Bridge > PS workflow and adds so many extra features.mg33
- Plus, LR uses 100% non-destructive editing, which you can't exactly achieve with ACR + PS. At least not in a contained, logical way.nb
- you are so wrong.
