But if I don't want to buy it just yet, what will happen to the changes I've made to the images I've imported into it?
Or have they got you by the short and curlies?

My lightroom 2 beta expired at the start of this month. i've just ordered it. Went through quidco to get some money back off it. Ordered the send me a box version even though I had to pay for delivery - if I'm spending out like that for something I at least want a box to show for it! 
As to saving what you have done I guess you could export all the pictures to tif files or just best jpeg if you want to keep the edits. I'm not expecting anything I did using the beta to be seen by the release version. Bonus if it does.

Robert, I've never come across Quidco before - with the cashback, how much did you pay for Lightroom?
Cheapest I can find is about £190 (Amazon)

If you want to perserve your edits then you could get LR to write the XMP sidecar files for all your raw files which you could read back in once you get the full version. It wouldn't be a complete restore but the most recent settings would be there.

Ermm.... how?
But before you try to explain, in the last 30 days the weather has been so crap that I've got hardly any new images. What new ones I have got I've saved as TIFF's, plus the RAW files as well which are all saved.
It's not important (I don't think) to be able to go back and undo specific changes I made to any images in Lightroom; as long as they exist somewhere on my hard disc and don't disappear when Lightroom expires. So perhaps its not necessary?

I never looked at Amazon
Bought it direct from Adobe less 10% back from quidco. Think I may have ended up a pound or two worse off as the 10% turns out to be on the ex vat price.

OK, thanks, I may not need to do it but it would be a good idea to learn for future reference.
