What is Lightroom (made for) ?

Before Digital Era

An advanced viewer ?

Core function : indexing and collections Before After What you need to recall Metadata are Lightroom key : Exif, IPTC, Keywords Collections are grouping view (no physical storage change)

Image editing : PS competitor ? What you need to recall Intuitive yet very powerful digital lab tools No calc, no image assembly but compete with PS on adjustement

Why not using other tools ? Aperture Similar for editing Preset ? Mac target Cost Xn View View & Sort Limited editing Simple interface Freeware & OS

Google Picasa Easy usage Albums (~Collections) Simple editing Do not alter original But copy Face detection Integrated Geoloc Freeware & OS Why not using other tools ?

Diving Deeper …

Workflow notion What you need to recall Lightroom is designed for batch type work Sorting is a phase among Import, Export, Print, Slideshow, Web

Thought for (by?) photographer What you need to recall Can adapt to photographers workflow Non destructive Raw work (Digital Negative)

Preset concept What you need to recall Almost all is preset. From Name to Metadata and through development
