As Rich has said to us all for a while the features are all there in LR (except for proper Layers) but........ For me the interface is not as I would like it. I spend more time looking for stuff than I like. I know PS much better so I prefer that, I know LR catalogs fairly well so I use them. For my add ons I really like the Topaz, Nik Software, OnOne plug-ins.

There is no question in my mind that Nik and onOne plugins both work better and faster in LR than Cap One or even PS. I've never used Topaz ... Sounds like you think it's worth a try?

By the way, for iPad owners that use Lightroom, there is a 'Lightroom' magazine app available from the App Store. It puts an icon on your screen and you can then purchase different magazine additions from the store, they are pretty good, mixing mainly print style magazine on the iPad with the occasional video tutorial.

My wife has been traveling all week, so I have now watched every adobe video on LR and many others and just downloaded the app you refer to, Rich. There is no lack of information out there - even if you are only interested in LR5! I see now what you have been enjoying for some time. I could never see why you wouldn't just do things in PS but as file sizes get enormously larger - say D800 - you really can't afford the storage space to be non-destructive in PS...leads to just too many 500mb files if you use multiple layers and don't flatten...Many of the same things can be done in LR in a virtual mode and you don't run out of space and processor power. Right now the big advantage of LR over CO7 is that it is so similar to PS and works much much better with plugins and other apps. I've spent some time today with the LR 5 book module and they have made some seemingly small but very important updates in it...even is LR doesn't take over as my main editor, it will definitely become my sole book making app. The big deal for me is the ease of making user templates. I make all my own custom layouts in PS for Blurb and it takes some time, but I have a lot of control via layers..the negative was that I had to pretty much create each page from scratch (following my notes of other pages to keep uniformity where I wanted it...I think that problem is solved with LR and the new User Template functionality...it will be a little more work initially and then a snap going forward. Well, Marianne is coming home tomorrow morning, so I have to get off the Internet now and put all the stuff away that I have just left sitting on counters and take out the garbage and generally get the house livable again Tom

I came to Photography much later than the rest of you, and just as I was getting serious Lightroom came out. Perhaps because I hadn't really got any embedded habits I took to it really quickly and it does two key things for me: 1. Organises my images in a way that means I can find them in numerous different ways. 2. A very fast work flow. Every other method I have heard described here just seems like a lot more work. As it gets more mature a lot of the downsides seem to be eliminated. One of the big benefits you mention is efficiency of file storage, I think where this really comes into its own is virtual copies. This lets you create numerous different versions of an image and try lots of different looks out with virtually no storage overhead.
