If you tried the demo of lightroom when it was released and decided to stick to another program for RAW conversion, it may be time to take another look. A recent update saw improved noise reduction and colour vibrancy sliders that just make my day every time I am wanting to push files from my poor old Nikon D70 that much further. It's still the slowest and most processor hungry program I've used but I barely touch photoshop now - only for fine tune retouching after lightroom has done the hardest of the work. I just really - REALLY want a faster pc to run this bastard on now. :p

The 1.1 update to Lightroom took what was a reasonably good program and pushed it up into the lower end of "kickass." If they'd make the cataloging system a little more flexible and robust, they'd be firmly into "kickass" territory, with only a slightly improved spot retouching tool between them and "seriously kickass."

I have to agree that while I like the work flow itself, the cataloguing system baffles me.
