I just received an email from Laura Shoe. I guess adobe made two announcements at photoshop world last week. First one was the lower price for photographers - makes you wonder if this wasn't the price they wanted all along, doesn't it? The second thing actually is very cool. Lightroom mobile! A version of LR for iPad that syncs back to your desktop using that 20gb of storage they give you. This could be a pretty big hit, I would think. Just as I use my iPad for time filling with news and novels while waiting in my car or a doctors office, I could now do a little tweaking of some image files and it would be waiting on my Mac when I get home - way better use of downtime than news repeats ! This seems pretty feasible since pretty much all of the LR data is the text file recipe, not the large image file - especially true with the new preview files. What do you think?

I agree with that Tom, what I don't agree about is the rationale that you and Rich are applying that it's to allow Adobe to reign in development. What other 'Killer features' are you expecting??? Most of the 'Killer features' we have seen in the last few years are gimmicks, these may be handy, they may save a few seconds here and there, but they are not in my opinion essential 'must have' tools. They have improve stuff here and there, tinkered with the menus and refined features but not much else. How come Eric who must be our most proficient PS user who relies on it to make a living and has Ps6 on his computer, normally uses Ps3, Ps3 is only a slight upgrade on Ps2, I had both, I didn't bother upgrading to Ps3 because I saw no benefit. He is not un-typical from my encounters with many dedicated pro users on the forums. Most upgrades have been driven by system upgrades, particularly on the Apple platform. Keeping up with new camera releases would seem to be the most important function now, but seems to me that cameras are reading a plateau now too. They seem to have reached maximum pixel density, the Hi ISO is pretty good, they even have movie capture, with sound!!! What else can we look forward to in the design of cameras that will actually improve the finished photograph?

Robert- I don't think they are cutting back on development...but there is no way to have a huge impact when you already have 500 features...maybe 10 new ones a year...that is a big development effort but a very incremental change. At this point, the product is mature - they are desperately looking at ways to keep you paying more for less. Keeping up with new cameras no longer is a monopoly for adobe. They still are not as good as capture one raw converting for the fuji cameras and they were several months later with support at all for them. Adobe has some major challenges ahead of them.

In camera editing...that's the way forward. In particular intelligent cloning of bl***y tourists! Visiting a chateau in the Loire today, I was taken by the number of brightly coloured bodies splattering the white stonework. By careful positioning and waiting for a the right moment the bodies in my shots will be relatively easy to clone out back home. But it made me wonder if a touch screen and on board software along the lines of face recognition ....tourist body recognition...might do the job there and then.

Just put out some toxic gas signs when you want to shoot..tourists will flee. I read an article about using a couple of shots (assuming you had your tripod with you) and then using layers to completely get rid of all tourists quite easily. Worth a shot... You could always shoot at 3 am and bring some big lights?

Agree with Tom deal not at all bad now if you are on CS3 and old Lightroom. But the whole handling by Adobe has been poor over the last 18 months and aimed at pissing people off. First no more upgrades paths, then opinion forced them to give limited period to upgrade to CS6 from CS3 and above to end of last year. Prices that made no sense for subscription for togs, then another offer getting near to sense and now the current offer. If like me one took the bait and upgraded to CS6 before December 31 thinking that that that upgrade would meet my needs being now retired for a good while. Now using Lightroom more so was tempted to upgrade to LR5 when that came out. So 9 months on and nearly £200 down I can get to where I am for £9 pm and be future proofed. Can I believe Adobe now? It's all about making money it seems to me.

At this time of year there are a lot of old wrinkles (myself included) doing the off peak holidays. It seems many have to rest for ages on every wall or convenient spot. Some were still there when we came out. LOL Before low noise high Iso came along I frequently used multiple exposure on a tripod when doing low light interiors. Layering the shots and varying layer opacity nulled out noise... as it occurs in different places on each shot. Ps anyway....neglected to bring tripod with me on this trip!!!!

Those old buggers are really a drag, aren't they?

Simple things we miss sometimes. Tut.... No tripod. I need to really force myself to take one. BTW: A tripod is that like a Zimmer frame ?
