lightroom was written to increase productivity of photographers by providing all of the common tasks photographers do in one place, without burdening them with stuff they'll rarely or never use (although there are ways to do those on the off chance they do).

it succeeds in doing that.

What is the "burden" of features of a program that someone doesn't use? A burden is something that slows you down or causes you some inconvenience.

nospam
the burden is with the app they do use.

PS allows working in CMYK. I've never worked in CMYK. Is it a burden for me to use a program that contains a feature that I don't use?

nospam
why include what isn't used? the user pays for it and the code takes up space even though it won't be used and it is potentially confusing if the user doesn't know what it's for.

lightroom streamlines a user's workflow, which makes the user more productive. again, ask those who use lightroom or why adobe wrote it.

Tony Cooper
LR does not have the "stuff" that many people do use.

nospam
completely wrong. statements like this shows just how little you understand about what lightroom does and how it works.

I think it's a burden to have to open a file in PS to be able to use the clone tool.

nospam
so does adobe, which is why they included a clone tool in lightroom.

Tony Cooper
It's a burden I'm willing to live with because of the other advantages of using LR, but the idea that we are burdened if there are features we don't use in a program is just more bullshit.

nospam
again, statements like this shows just how little you understand about what lightroom does and how it works.
