I echo the above positives about using Lightroom (albeit I have version 1.x). I have the book for v1 that Steve has mentioned - excellent!

Also a great thing one can do with any file is to make any number of virtual copies within LR and so apply any number of different effects/ treatments/ processing styles - and be able to simultaneously view them alongside each other and all without changing the original file, or significantly increasing the amount of memory used to store them.

Hi Tel,

I actually have 1.2. I think when the next update came out there were some issues with it so I didn't bother at that time. However probably ought to now - although I am not sure it offered anything noticeably better (Can't remember).

I haven't gone to v2 as it costs

I understand about cost's for Adobe's Software there was issues with the 1.3 update which was corrected by the 1.4, 1.4 is smoother running and the sliders were more responsive (smoother movement)I can not remember the rest because I now use L/R2.

Thanks for the advice on 1.4. Will upgrade. Would like v2 - maybe a birthday/ Christmas present idea...

Found the book by Rob Sheppard "Photoshop Lightroom 2 for Digital Photographers Only" very useful, £16ish on Ebay.
As for the LR catalog I just use my own system.

Upgrade to V2.x, it's well worth it.
