[HUG ] Re: IMG: Triptych

I don't see LightRoom 2 as being inferior to PS CS4 as far as the quality of 
adjsutments available in LR2.  LR is just much more focused on the photographer 
than on the graphic artist.  From what I have heard many are now doing a lot of 
work in LR and only going into PS for the really heavy lifting.  LR has Curves 
and targeted adjustments brushes... even auto masking.. Just no layers. 

 

NOTHING beats CS4... but it's a HUGE program with much of its power doing 
things most photogs oft times don't need.
