Software Reviews of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 1.0 (Win/Mac) [OLD VERSION]
Customer Review: Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 1.0
Summary: 5 Stars
Adobe Photoshop Lightroom is excellent for digital Photographers who are mainly interested in working with a high volume of images and for those who are purest in their work. It is like being in a darkroom with your work and it goes back to the traditional way of working with photography.
This product is for those who start out with a good image and do not need to turn their work into highly manipulated images.
Customer Review: Great product!
Summary: 5 Stars
Great product, great design and easy to use (unlike many programs). You can really tell that Adobe listened to the Beta test feedback and gave the photographers what they ask for. Customer Review: Excellent

Easy to incorportate into a workflow and makes my pictures much better than they probably should be. Highly recommend.Customer Review: Post-Processing Workflow Solution -- Great and getting better all the time.
Summary: 4 Stars
Lightroom is a revolution for processing RAW and JPG files for photographers that create tons of images.
As a user of Apple's Aperture and long time user of Photoshop, iView, and others I would say that Lightroom has an organic interface that's very logical and easy to adapt to. My favorite developmental tools are the draggable histogram for exposure control and targeted adjustment tools for tweaking saturation, color, curves, and more. Enjoy the fact you can trade adjustment presets with other computers and users and have a quick view when you drag over a preset name as well.
Lightroom is not to be confused with "Photoshop" as an image editing tool. Although it offers basic cloning and healing tools, rotation, vignette, and cross processing tools, it's sole purpose is to act as "the photo lab" (in my view) as it batch edits any of it's adjustments with simple key commands and lightning speed. Also given the power to sort and rank, label and rename, print and slideshow, lightroom obviously has a lot of power as a post-production tool. Don't throw away photoshop; you'll want to use it for special effects and major image surgery.
All-in-all, if you shoot a ton and find yourself buried in "workflow" with lots of time at the computer -- demo and possibly buy Lightroom. If you like the fancy box and think the name sounds neat, keep walking. It's only on version 1 and already incredibly powerful so with some of the suggestions we keep giving Adobe, Lightroom will be a force to be reckoned with. The relative weaknesses it has right now are eclipsed by the power, flexibility, and price tag.
Customer Review: Very nice product, just SLLLLOOOOOWWW
Summary: 4 Stars
The only thing lightroom is missing is speed. My goodness it is slow, but it really has improved my workflow. If it was a little faster, I would have given it five stars. Being able to sync multiple images with a corrected one is one of the best features.
