Photoshop Lightroom is the best thing that has happened to me software-wise.

You can do all the things you would typically do to photos in CS4 with faster and more convenient workflow. Lets be completely honest here, most photographers have little use for all the things that CS4 provides that Lightroom doesn't.

And it costs way less.

Lightroom 2 is my partner in life.

Photoshop CS3 + Lightroom = GG. It's like, having the best weapons in a war.


Photoshop can add some cool filters, effects, adjust eye colors and cool things like that.
While Lightroom is seriously a MUST. I use it all the time for fixing the WB in my photos.
