If you are considering buying the FULL version of LightRoom3 I was just sent a 15% off code to buy it, just enter 'Lightroom3' coupon code in the shopping cart to get the 15% off, minus the quotes of course ;)
I bought the upgrade so its useless to me lol

Nice, thx. But is it really any better then using photoshop and bridge? I don't see the difference between organizing in bridge and then importing into photoshop. Seems like a big trade-off to combine the two in an exchange for loss of many features.

Its actually what it doesn't do. It doesn't do a thing to your image itself. It records all your edits as a series of instructions. So all the edits are absolutely 100% non-destructive. I like it because I can do everything in one place. I can tag and organize as well as edit. The other thing I like is that it was built with photographers in mind. Its not an image editing tool its a photo management/editing tool.
That's not to say that Photoshop doesn't have its place. Lightroom doesn't do layers so there are some edits it just can't do but for 95% of my editing its the only tool I need. |

Take the trial for a spin. It will speak for itself (or Aperture). |

Faster for non-destructive editing than PSHop/Bridge
Laid out & designed with the volume RAW photographer in mind.
Integrated web galleries that can create your galleries & watermark direct from RAW files.
Same goes for proof sheets etc.
Catalogs!
Image sharpening and noise reduction in real-time.
Realtime post-crop vignetting*
Lens correction tools*
Cheaper!!
Multi CPU support when exporting images - since I upgraded to a Quadcore 64-Bit CPU (and Win7 64bit) nothing beats the satisfaction of seeing Lightroom write 4 JPGs at a time - its FAST!!!
* I know these two are in PS, but being able to run them direct from your develop module saves opening a pluging filter based system - miles faster.
I think the best way to decide how much better it is than PS for bulk processing is to use it on a big project such as a wedding or photoshoot of some sort. I can assure you it will take you less than half the time to process it (once you get upto speed on using it).
