ImportingĪt it's heart, Lightroom is part digital asset manager - you need to import your images into the Lightroom database, either by copying them, or referencing them at a location on your drive, before you can use the tools or output your images. While Lightroom 2 is a popular option for many, the latest release adds some new features that improve the overall workflow and quality of output. Lightroom, unlike Photoshop, is built from the ground up for photography and the unique workflow that we have as digital photographers. Rather than dealing with 3D, vector graphics, and other general graphics tasks that aren't of interest to most of us, Lightroom distills the features down to what is important - image management and optimization.
Close on the heels of Adobe's release of Photoshop CS5, Lightroom 3.0 is now available.
