Software Reviews of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 1.0 (Win/Mac) [OLD VERSION]

Customer Review: Using a PC - so many issues, i give up.
Summary: 1 Stars

I was very excited to use this software. Unfortunately, using a PC, I had too many issues with it to continue. First, while importing RAW files from a Canon 5D Mark 2, about half of the images couldn't be imported according to Lightroom because they were "corrupt". OK. Fine. So I upgraded to 1.42 and then when I went into develop mode to alter the images that did import correctly, the program crashed repeatedly. I downgraded to version 1.3 and still the same. The other reviews say it, but it bears repeating - Lightroom v1 to 1.42 on the PC is too buggy to sell as a complete product. I am very disappointed.

Customer Review: Just what I wanted
Summary: 5 Stars

It is a great program if you're looking to edit your photographs easier than in photoshop, because its all in one window. If you're serious about photography and getting better photos when you edit this is the program you'll want.

Customer Review: Made for Photographers
Summary: 5 Stars

Adobe LightRoom is most definitely made for photographers.

This program has amazing organizational features for your giant photo library. Giving you the ability to add tags to your photos for idenitfication, to flag a photo or reject it completely, and also to rate a photo from 1 to 5 stars or by 5 different colors, allowing for incredible diversity when it comes to sorting, comparing and filing photographs.

A basic, but intuitive, development section gives you all the necessary Photoshop processing tools for tone adjustment, exposure, color, and more. This allows basic processing feature access without waiting for Photoshop to load. For more in-depth processing, you can open the photo with Photoshop right from the lightroom window, and it saves the results back to LightRoom.

Lightroom also includes a section for preparing your Photos for the web or for print.

As far as I'm concerned, this program is necessary for my work and is an incredible asset for any photographer with more than a few dozen files.

As far as some of the complaints I've read, many bugs have been worked out since it's inception as would be expected. Working with photographers, Adobe has released LightRoom 2 which offers many new processing and filing features.

Customer Review: Superb
Summary: 5 Stars

Lightroom does many things well. Cataloging and adjusting images is easy. Uploading images to a web site is easy. Uploading to photo sharing web sites is easy with some free Lightroom plugins. Printing is easy. If you are using iPhoto or Picasa and are looking for something better, Lightroom is worth trying.

Customer Review: nice program
Summary: 4 Stars

great program to white balance all your photos that you shoot in raw format (nef). Color correction is easy and so is exposure and white balance. I dont like the way it imports or saves items, can be a little tricky in that area, otherwise this is a good program to get the professional finish to your pictures for the best picture and color quality.
