Frankly, I am somewhat puzzled about why people like nospam, and even you, try so hard to convince everyone that Lightroom is the panacea of photo editing. I get why you like it, but I don't get why you continually imply - if not aver - that those of us who are aren't on the bandwagon are doing something wrong.

nospam
panacea is another one of your twisty words.

The words I use can always be looked up in a dictionary. I can't always be bothered to edit my writing down to your level of understanding.

lightroom is *extremely* useful and fits the needs of a huge number of users, which is why it's so popular and should be the first app to start with unless there's specific needs otherwise.

based on your description of how you use lightroom, you're using it wrong, so you don't see just how capable it really is.

There is no "wrong" way to use Lightroom. I freely admit to under-utilizing the capabilities of Lightroom, but that's not being wrong. I prefer to use the capabilities of Photoshop.

We are doing what we feel comfortable in doing, whether it's continuing to use a CS version or Gimp, and most of us are turning out some pretty decent stuff in doing so. Any failings in output are more failings in input from when we push the shutter button.

nospam
in other words, 'we don't want to look at alternatives'.

Actually, the other words would be "We are able to process our images to our satisfaction using other tools, and we don't feel we need to find a different way to get to the same point".

Nospam's positions about effort and productivity are patently bullshit. The issue isn't about a production shop where there are deadlines and cost issues. It's about individuals pursuing a hobby.

nospam
it's not bullshit at all.

a hobby is far more enjoyable when one is more productive.

You are telling us what is more enjoyable to us?

why make more work for oneself when the computer can do it for you?

Exactly. Learning how to get to the same place in LR that I can get to in Photoshop is more work.

It would not be productive for me to devote a lot of time following those links Savageduck passes out like tracts from a JW when I can process my images the way I want to now.
