Among other things.

I guess it's simply a choice individuals make. I am thrilled I got it
legally at a very good price.

At some point, maybe later in life, maybe tomorrow, many find there's a
price to pay in lack of integrity. And maybe not. But it's unseemly to
brag about it! Baaaaadddd Brett, Badddddd!

No surprise! I know you're putting the savings towards a Mk III and a
17-35/2.8 Nikkor.

No, for wide angle I thought I'd go with the Zeiss 21mm "T" Distagon.

Then I use Photoshop to edit them.

So somebody please tell me why I need Lightroom?
I'm considering going to a NAPP Lightroom seminar in Atlanta on Friday
given by Scott Kelby and I need to know if it'll be worth my time.


So what will Lightroom do that Photoshop won't?


Lightroom is a storage and archive type of program. It is geared to
professional photographers who have 10's of Thousands of photos. It
allows the Pro to group types of photos (landscape, stock, or
buildings) that might need to be accessed quickly.

For the Average Photographer, it is a little bit of overkill.

If you qualify for the academic version -
CS3 = $289.95 USD,
CS3 + Lightroom = $379.95 USD,

.... plus S&H.

I haven't upgraded to CS3, since the beta gave me major printing

I know they've probably worked those kinks out...but I heard a similar
complaint from another guy using the full CS3 with Epson printers (I use
the
4000 Pro).

I still use the beta version and I have experienced the same problems.
When you go to the print menu CS3 doesn't seem to register changes
made to printer settings like paper size, paper type, etc.
What you have to do is to change the settings of your default printer
before you pull up the print menu. CS3 Beta defaults to those
settings no matter what you tell it in the print dialogue.

My CS3 Beta will only print in A4 size and you have to set the settings
for every printout like you describe.
I succeeded to have the preveiw showing A3 size, but it only printed
in A4 size anyway. Probably a limitation done by purpose.

From time to time my BS3 beta does not startup. But if I try to start the
Adobe Device Central CS3 which does not start either then PhotoShop
starts afterwards......funny.
