Reviews

April 5, 2012

I use LR4 for processing and cataloging digital photos. I shoot all of my photos in RAW. Then I use LR4 to color-correct and process them into jpegs. LR has mostly replaced Photoshop for my photography needs. LR4 now has a great tool for creating books. I found it extremely intuitive and I was quite pleased with the Blurb book I created entirely in LR. If you are working with digital photos, you need LR.
