The real scandal here is Scott Kelby’s bare knees.Unless you’re doing the show from a beach in Maui, Scott, please do not wear shorts in a video ever again.

Thanks

I liked your video. Understood what you were getting at. I have not had any problems with Light Room 1 or 2. I like the program and use it for much of the work I do with my photos. I have had some problems with scanned film, but LightRoom ususally works well to get the color cast out of the picture.
I cannot afford Photoshop, its price is beyond my purchasing power.
Thanks for the tips you guys put on your blog and the books one the programs.

Then I must be in the minority of users that had horrible problems with LR 2. I consider the new 64-bit version a downgrade in performance on my 64-bit OS. Granted, 2.1 is much better than 2.0, but only about the same as the 32-bit 1.4.1. in terms of performance on my system.

I sincerely hope the 64-bit version of CS4 doesn’t have these issues. For me CS3 was very stable. Bridge was the exception….but nothing trumps the LR2 disaster.

I also think Adobe are bordering on negligent with their response, or lack thereof. Have Adobe surveyed registered users of LR2 to ask if they are satisfied/have concerns etc?

Olwen,

Please explain your workflow using lightroom with regard to softproofing. As Lightroom has no softproofing I’m still forced to print files through CS3 if I want to have anything other that hit and miss in color reproduction. If color is not a big deal to you then I can see how “thrilled” you might be with the LR2 print module because it does have positives over CS3 when it comes to printing multiple images but in my case all I get are multiple images that are not up to standard in color which leaves me less than thrilled.

If you have any ideas on how to streamline this process I’d love to learn from you.

Thanks and have a great day.

I have to say that I can understand performance issues on crazy platforms like an old XP with gunk running in the background and a heavy registry that for some inexplicable reason manages to slow the whole machine down, but some things Adobe still needs to take care of – the horrible memory consumption of LR has not been fixed in LR2 (have’t tried 2.1 yet). Also I heard that once people hit the 70K-100K DB items, the system screeches to a halt and you have to start thinking about splitting the database or other horrible ideas.

100K files? that’s NOTHING even for a semi-pro! I know hobiists that shoot 80K RAW files a year! I manage larger databases on my webserver! why should this be soooo hard?

LR2’s print module alone justifies the modest expense relative to the time spent printing multiple files from PS. Stop all the moaning and be thrilled with the great workflow!

Yeah I feel a little burned about the whole LR2-ACR5 thing. But you know what, in a way Adobe screwed themselves on this one as far as I am concerned. Here’s how, I love CS3, it was doing everything that I needed, except for the hole that LR2 just filled. Sorry guys, but I just don’t feel the huge need to upgrade to CS4 now, LR2 and CS3 are fine until CS5 comes out. Thanks Adobe! The $99.00 UPGrade for LR2 is saving me the money so I don’t need to run out and get CS4.
