Step forward

I use since about two years previous versions of Lightroom 3. After I had I originally started with Photoshop image editing, it has emerged in recent years that I am doing more and more directly in Lightroom and rarely Switch to PS to give an image the final touch.

Now I have a few weeks ago the beta version of Lightroom 3 on my computer and since yesterday the final version. And I dare to predict that I will continue to do more of my edits in Lightroom and Photoshop almost no longer need. What makes me the difference?

LR 3 has become much faster than it was LR 2. This concerns all program areas and functions. I can work much smoother and no longer have to wait for the software. Noise reduction has been greatly improved. That was one of the functions for which I am still so far changed hp and there integrated plugin. What I have now seen of LR 3 lets me hope that I can continue it completely without. Lens Correction: Before a task for PS and a plugin - now I do this in LR. 3

What Lightroom also in version 3 still can not: Display color management and soft proofing. This is thus still something for which I need Photoshop. I can get over it. But for frequent printer safely angry at a program to professional has the ambitious amateur as a target group.
