Lightroom 4 £67 on Amazon

Bargain! But it's very different from Elements - search the forum for many threads on the subject. I have both, but haven't touched Elements in months. LR does everything I need.

Horses for courses, i use Elements 9 and find Lightroom terrible to use.
 
Is that the price for the full version or the upgrade version?

It's a good program but very intensive on the computer!
 
LR 4 is superb for most of your photo editing and sorting needs - well worth that money any day...
 
I have PE10 & CS4 but since I bought LR4, a week or two ago, I am virtually always using LR. I guess if you did a poll on here it may be 50/50 but as said by other posters download the free trial. However I don't think I could have got myself motivated enough to learn how to use it with the trial. However since buying I have been almost obsessed with learning and watched loads of tutorials on YouTube. I found it is quite a steep learning curve - unless I is thick :nuts:

I used to think the same. I found LR very hard to use but now I'm used to it I couldn't live without it. When you get your head round it, its a VERY useful tool! :)

Tried it a couple of times and it drives be bleedin bonkers, Elements does everything and more i need to do pitchside and i dont beleive anything could make my workflow quicker

Even opening a single file is a mess about in Lightroom

Yep, from reading the reviews it seems to run very slowly on older and/or low spec computers. My ageing PC even struggles a bit with LR3 so that is stopping me from upgrading to the latest version. That's a great price though!

I really like LR though - learning curve is not too hard to overcome with a decent book or watching a few youtube videos - I find Elements harder to get my head around but then I guess everyone is different. I think it's pretty easy to pick up the basics on Lightroom and it can make a massive difference to your photos as well as rescue the ones where you mess up the exposure or white balance.
