Wow, you just blew me out of the water!
Just got Lightroom 3 a few days, but haven’t really played with it too much. Tonight I gotta spend some quality time this app.
great job David, you simplify it for us. And Wow! I’ve been shooting for 40 years, began back in the days when kodachrome was the gold standard at 25ASA. Shooting on industrial and corporate locations required hauling 300lbs of lighting and rigging and 2 assistants and all morning to light one job. Now, just crank up the ASA and snap away. If any light is needed, you could get it from either a 100 watt bulb or an on camera flash. That feature alone is worth the price of admission. The other features are brilliant as well. LR3 is a must have for any pro!
