Hopkin you might have put me on the path to a conversion - I like the way you do it. Mainly because of your coment about getting it right in camera. Now I partly agree with that because as you know, you can't pollish a turd. So to have a picture that can take the strain of post prod it needs to be a pretty good picture to begin with.

Having said that I believe capturing the image with the camera is only the starting point to creating an image. It all depends on your final definition of an image - some of us just want to take good photographs, some of us want to go the next step of creative manipulation.

I think my initial negativity with Lightroom (and I suspect this also applies to you Cobra) is that it is unfamiliar and I haven't taken enough time to explore what it does. Once I've done that I will then see how it fits with Photoshop and compliments it rather than duplicating it.

So my mission (should I choose to accept it) is to look at a few online tutorials and get my head round what LR has to offer. After all it's a few quid's worth sat there doing nowt if I never break away from good old DPP - which I still think is brilliant considering the cost (£0)

'Twas so good you said it twice :D
Andy, at the top of this thread I said that I spent just as much time
on "learning" L/R as I did CS3 when I got it
( CS3 came first, but after hearing a lot of "raves" about it just trawling through the forum I thought "why the hell not"?)


I have been "playing with" L/R ref all the little "tweaks and tips" in this
thread and I am actually now begining to dislike it even more. :(

I will stick to CS3 I find it so much easier :thumbs:
