Great deal for a great product. Get it now to upgrade cheaply to Lightroom 4 later this year/early next year.

Why use lightroom instead of photoshop/bridge?

Basically if you're someone who takes photography as a serious hobby, you're an image geek, etc. you'll want to use Lightroom for "developing" your photos not Photoshop due to tool and workflow advantages. Walk into a photographer's studio or an agency and they'll be working in Lightroom. You should have heard my staff photographer at my last job raving when LR1 came out and each version has been a major improvement over the last. I personally use it to manage and develop six figures worth of images.

Lightroom is for developing digital photography in a completely non-destructive highly efficient workflow, Photoshop is for manipulating developed images.

For those interested in how and why they'd integrate Lightroom into their workflow, I suggest hitting Adobe TV.

I have LR and I have used it for years and I just switched over to Aperture for the Mac. I was really fighting PS because I use it so little when I finally realized that most of what I wanted to do or needed to do, could easily be done in LR or Aperture. Both are excellent programs for making adjustments to colors and cleaning up minor things.

I'm not sure why it took me so long to think about it, but I know it's made my work life a lot easier.

Love, love, love the non-destructive editing features of both programs.
