It's an incredibly useful program. The develop/editing interface is quite user-friendly and it's a solid program for database management, which is it's other main function.

For $300 though, I say it's a bit steep for the average joe. If you're not into cracked programs and are on a Mac, I'd say pick up Aperture instead. It'll save you $100, has an easy-to-use interface and features many of the same non-destructive editing options that Lightroom does.Blue Marine is an open-source option. Bibble and LightZone are also options that you could give a whirl.

Try downloading trial versions too to get an idea of what you like best.

i believe you can download lightroom for free off the website and there are key gens all over the net for when it expires. I think i downloaded lightroom over a year ago and never looked back.

just bought my first camera. EOS 600D/t3i w/ 50mm f1.8

first experiments in manual mode. a little in lightroom in post.

afternoon mate

already want a wide angle.

[laxlife1234]

^Congrats! Manual mode is easy once you get the hang of it. Image looks to be a little overexposed though. But keep experimenting! As for the lens, you'll get used to it after a while. I am fine with my 50mm but I sometimes question myself if I should have gone with the 35mm lens, but too late!! I love my 50.

this picture's sick, it mindfucked me at first.

[laxlife1234]

Haha, thanks. Believe it or not, I didn't edit it or anything I made the colors a bit more vibrant but that was it. I think it was cause my camera was able to see directly into the sensor.

Edit: 1k post. Boo ya.

I swear everyones doing that TS effect...

[FabGeek]

it's for a class project, and it would have been way too busy without selective focus. It's not really TS because it doesn't follow through the whole frame.

[laxlife1234]

Ah, alright. Well I like it anyways Could have fooled me though.

no, it's not really tilt shift because you're using photoshop.

[Protocol]

[FabGeek]

no, it's not really tilt shift because you're using photoshop.
