[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I've used Photoshop since it was v0.9, and got Lightroom right after
it graduated from rumour status. Both work, but LR works better as a
general photo processing tool. The main reason is that, as Alastair
has remarked, it works non-destructively. Photoshop doesn't do that
intrinsically, and to do non-destructive editing with Photoshop you
have to use a more complex and cumbersome workflow.
So Lightroom will, in general, output high quality images than Photoshop.
As others who have both programs have noted, about 95% of my work
gets done in Lightroom and 5% in Photoshop, but that last 5% gets
done after Lightroom has done as much as it can. That way the highest
quality is maintained.

Do you organize your files on your hard drive or use Bridge before
opening them in Photoshop?
