Adobe Lightroom has become an essential tool for many professional and serious amateur photographers. It is the tool they use to organize, edit, and print their work. For many images, it is the only image-editor they need to achieve high-quality results. Capture an image in RAW format and process only in LR.

While we're at it, why don't we have a 'GoPro Only' challenge.
One of the worst challenge topic suggestions I've seen in over eleven years I've been here. Is the DPC goal to drive everyone away? If yes, then you are on the right track! |

Given that Lightroom is simply a great organizational and catalog management tool wrapped around Adobe Camera RAW, I suspect that if you wanted to limit the tools then you could allow folks with only Photoshop to use ACR.
That said, while I find Larry's assessment a tad harsh given that we've done phone challenges here in the past, I do think that specifying a particular tool as a restricting factor runs against the grain of the site. Even if LR is as pervasive as many would like to think, it would be like having a Nikon/Canon-only challenge.
Now, a side challenge for editing only in Lightroom much like the PPChallenge currently going on, that would work. |

I like the idea of a side challenge on this... I agree that a lot of folks don't use or understand Lr, and so an official challenge specifying editing in Lr only would restrict participation to too great a degree. I think Larry has been taking speaking lessons from Donald Trump ;-)

Maybe the essence of what you are getting at would be under the BASIC EDITING rule set.
So maybe a Basic Editing free study? |

Don't think we should have tool-related challenges. You exclude everyone who doesn't have LR. Besides that, how will you check it was processed in LR only? Nowadays no one adds the metadata to the image.
And about the tool itself: it's great for working on RAW files, but I can do the same in Photoshop and (partly) in Elements as well. And about its organizing skills, well, probably it's me but I'm still struggling with it and I hate it that when I start working on a file it creates those xxx_edit_edit_edit files. |

| The primary difference between Lr and ACR is that Lr actually allows spot editing, while ACR does not. so Lr IS a viable image editor in and of itself, but ACR really isn't... |

I do healing and other spot adjustments in ACR all the time. |

Oh, OK: I guess they have added it. I haven't used ACR for some time... Or was that functionality always there and I didn't know it? |

To the best of my recollection LR's Develop module and ACR have always been 100% in sync in terms of features, the tools are just stuck in different places. I find LR's layout to be far more intuitive in terms of finding what you're looking for, but I hear the opposite from others. I guess it's just what you're used to. |
