nospamYou are (deliberately?) evading the point. We were not considering someone with a background of PS and Bridge having to learn Lightroom. We were considering the problem likely to be encountered by someone with no Adobe background of any kind when coming from Gimp when first encountering Lightroom.

Imagine that list after someone switched to Lightroom - and all the things they're suddely doing quicker, ey?
But only after learning how to use light room. In the examples I quoted (which you snipped) very little new learning was required. It was old and familiar software, with a few new bells and whistles, riding on a faster horse.
very little learning is needed for lightroom. if you've used camera raw in photoshop you already know how to use camera raw in lightroom. that leaves very little left, mostly just how to rate images, work with smart collections, etc., and if you've used bridge it will be fairly familiar.
I know you will say that Lightroom is easy to learn and is faster then Gimp. But the question is that if the person does not process a large number of images, if Lightroom is faster than Gimp, how long will it take him to claw back the Lightroom learning time through its higher processing speed?
The time taken to learn to use Lightroom is independent of the number of photographs you take. --Eric Stevensnospam
I know light room is relatively simple to learn but you have to process a significant number of photographs to make the time saving (compared with whatever else it is you know) worth the effort.
nope. even shooting a dozen photos, the difference is noticeable. obviously the difference is bigger the more you shoot but it really doesn't take that many photos.
